I’m the son, grandson, nephew & cousin of Methodist ministers. And I almost followed in their footsteps.

But beginning in college (double major in Religion & Music) and continuing into seminary (1 year only), I both came out as a gay man and began to understand that theistic belief is not based on any reality. Instead it is simply a fear-soothing fantasy. Faith represents a security blanket at best & a tool of subjugation at worst.
