lizziec | Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints = Matrix?

Today I was experiencing one of my odd and periodic pangs of wishing that I still believed and still belonged. I don't know why these happen, they just do sometimes and I came to the conclusion that being in the Mormon church is like being in the Matrix.

Mormons have their own reality that is fed to them by the powers that be who leech power and money off the faithful.

This reality is so seperate from the real world and the actual truths of the church that once you are out and know the truth you can never go back in. The two worlds are just too far apart.

I find this thought oddly comforting. It's nice to know that what I know now is real and not some flaky ideal created for me by some old paternalist patriarchs far divorced from the real life that I and others lead. It's my life and I have control.

It's thoughts like this that get me through my weird days where I almost feel like I want to belong again.
