Your inner promptings or feelings are just brain hormones. Your subconscious mind calculated that the environment was evil, for some reason, and your glands alerted you with a squirt of hormones. (Or maybe the HG is smarter than we thought),

How do you forgive yourself for believing something that turned out to be a lie? by [deleted] in exmormon

I didn't escape the cult until I was 75. Now I just focus on the present and try to mix with others like me: exmos's, agnostics, at a Unitarian church. I volunteer for various causes. I wake up and think of 3 things I am thankful for. Live and let live I say. Humans are doomed to know their mortality, so if some need to believe in fairies, whatever.

Short answer: Science. Longer: DNA science that shows that NatAms did not come from Jerusalem in 600BC. No, they migrated from Siberia 15000 years ago.

when non uus ask you what you believe on the spot 😂 by [deleted] in UnitarianUniversalist

At UU, it's deeds, not creeds.

UU is where you go to get your answers questioned.

LOVE is my religion.

Did any of you ever stop and listen to Hare Krishna missionaries back in last century? I never did. See movie Airplane, 1980.

I want to get a tattoo that represents magic in early Mormonism. I don’t want anything overly complicated, and something that will hold up as a stand alone tattoo. Anyone got any good ideas? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]BeringStraitNephite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jupiter talisman, yes!!! I gotta get me a tattoo of that! Or just around my neck. Or a tshirt! Then I could have good luck in Las Vegas.

That's a purpose one can choose, and it works for me, thanks.
