    God has pushed me from a bible beating christian who was refined by fire 10 years ago to an acceptation of so much more than “the belief that chirst existed.” My new awakening has been so intense and fast and full of tears and fear and pure anguish. Thank u so much for documenting/sharing this. Transcending duality through Jesus Christ is something I could never imagined but answers every question and doubt I ever hid from. I love u all.
