Hi! I am Patricia

[Patrici]

I am a former conservative Christian. I found this site by reading the book "Religion Gone Bad." While I am straight, this website seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I have been on the other side. Now looking at things from this side I can see how hurtful religion can be to the LGBT community. I also fear that it can be dangerous. I would really love to take the knowledge I have of how the minds of the conservative Christians work and use it to help fight for the civil rights of the LGBT community. I would also like to take the opportunity to say I am truly sorry and ashamed of the person I used to be.

Welcome. Wishing for a better past doesn't do much except make you feel bad. Be thankful for who you are now. It's all good.

Hi Patricia and welcome to Soulforce. There's no need to feel asahmed because of other people's actions. You have decided that they are in error and you have an understanding of what we are about and face.

I read "Religion Gone Bad'. I couldn't put it down. I'm happy that you found the site.

Hi Patricia,

Religion Gone Bad is by far one of my favourite books and also how I found this great forum.
