For instance, how you feel about your kids maybe not experiencing some of the positive/happy/secure things you felt when you were at home with Mormonism. Possibly you left this out because it's SUPER personal. Or because you just don't think this is something worth discussing because they won't know the difference. What I want to know is how it impacts you. When I think about not raising my kids Mormon I draw an absolute blank. The thought of my children not being Mormon is also painful to me, and I'm not sure I can pin down why exactly.

I...I don't think this post is sad, necessarily. It is honest and adult, shuns finality and "happily ever after"ness. Tim, I am impressed by your ability to accept the losses and the gains and be honest about them. Will you be writing a "what I've gained" post as well, or do you feel those gains are self evident? <br /><br />You and I have both made different choices about what to do with our discomfort in and with Mormonism, but honestly, we both had different sets of circumstances in which those choices made sense. Reading your post made me realize that I don't know if I'd ever be able to theologically part with the idea of Christ as Savior. It is so intrinsic with my conception of humanity--for instance, the fact that everyone is redeemable--that the thought of giving up that belief depresses me and fills me with terror. No homilies from me. I'd like to read the full paper when it's done. Email it to me? jen(dot)bracken(dot)hull at gmail.
