Nate, you have given me a lot of incouragement. Thank you. There are probably a lot of people that are in similar circumstances! I'd like to be in contact with the Life After Christian Fundamentalism group very much. Whatever we can do do help support one another in this crucial struggle is a good thing. Thanks again, Nate!
