I think what Firefly is trying to say, is that if I'm trying to justify murder or something, another church is not going to condone it.
I guess I'm not trying to justify what I'm doing, I just feel morally sound about it and it doesn't match up with the teachings I've absorbed my whole life.
My head totally knows that having a sex life, or having some beers with buddys (responsibly) is OK... it's my heart that is still effected by these old teachings. If it was pure logic, it would be fine, but I feel like I have some kind of void that was being filled by religion... it almost feels like a massive part of my identity is breaking off. Am I a "whole" person without it? I feel a void...
