Frankly, there's nothing I feel more grateful for in my life than having managed to escape the raving evangelical traditions I was raised in. Sure, it hurt, it led to years of therapy, and it estranged me from most of my family -- but my life is my own now, my thoughts are my own, and I'm no longer obliged to waste my life wallowing in that bottomless morass of guilt, sentimentality, histrionics, denial and separatism which characterizes fundamentalist and evangelical movements in all of the Abrahamic religions. These people contradict every value they claim to stand for.
