> It's sad that someone can't be true to their own beliefs.

Have you considered how strong of a vortex it is to not sway from a close groups' (including your entire family) belief about the most important thing in the entire world?

A spouse could lose their marriage. A child could estrange from their parents and siblings. A pastor that loses faith would lose his job, marriage, and entire community.



Yeah I come from an agnostic and atheist friend and family group. Many don't want to have much to do with me anymore. I became a Christian over a decade ago. It was a big change for me. I'm in a very secular county here in NZ.
