When You Are Rejected For Questioning Your Beliefs
You've heard of confirmation bias.
I think many of us who go through deconstruction... questioning our beliefs and our relationships to faith, religion, and the church... were already suspicious people to begin with.
What I mean by that many of us were already a little bit different and didn't quite fit the mold that the church would have us fit into.
So that when we did start deconstructing, people could point to our uniqueness as the problem.
We proved their suspicions that we ARE different.
We thought we were always fully invested.
But by becoming more our unique authentic selves, wee confirmed their biases that we were never truly fully invested.
We aren't willing to submit to the herd mentality any longer, and to them that means you can't be a part of the herd.
