Update

I haven’t been on this blog as much lately because now that I’m out of the hospital and have my laptop back, I’ve been working on my book. Book-writing turns out to be really hard. It’s not that I don’t have enough to say, but when I’m writing about traumatic events in my life, it’s…

Sixteen Talking Points that I Wish my Therapist Knew About

As I mentioned in my previous entry, as of June 1 I have been discharged from the psych hospital and am now in a group home. This has given me more freedom but much, much crazier roommates and reduced support from staff. I also don’t have a car or money for rideshares so I’ve been…

It’s been exactly four weeks since I was discharged and I haven’t updated this blog since! I’ve kind of been operating under the assumption that nobody was reading it anymore since I can no longer just shamelessly advertise it to any staff who will listen. It was kind of a sad day and I missed…

Embracing Uncertainty

I stumbled across this for the first time years ago, and I think of it often. I think of things I said, and even genuinely believed. It was my extreme fortune that nobody ever made fun of me for it, even outside the “Christian bubble.” They just thought it was an interesting perspective that I…

Finding Peace with God

Christian apostates obviously are an extremely varied group of people, but one thing we can pretty much all agree on is that certain arguments that Christians use constantly are very ineffective. For example, it’s incredibly invalidating when people use the “you were never really saved” argument. I’ve touched on that a few times now, such…

ApostateTurtle’s YouTube Subscriptions

I keep my blog subscriptions separate from my personal subscriptions, which are mostly about kittens and other cute animals. I wish I had time to actually watch all these people’s content!

I’m officially discharging on Wednesday, June 1. I’m not doing as great with it as I was because Dr. X is on vacation this week and I wanted him to be able to see me off. I suspect that things will be better once I’m actually out, but right now I’m kind of in limbo….

“That passage is from the Old Testament!”

As usual, I’ve been watching atheist YouTube videos lately because honestly no amount of “atheist indoctrination” is ever going to be able to hold a candle to the amount of Christian indoctrination I’ve been through in my life. A lot of the videos take issue with things that are in the Old Testament, and when…

https://thewartburgwatch.com/2022/05/06/former-baptist-pastor-thomas-chantry-is-a-free-man/ This is 🤬ed up. Apparently Chantry only spent 3.5 years in prison and is now free, walking around, and probably in contact with children since these churches don’t seem to care as much about protecting their kids as they do about their pastors agreeing with them on every conceivable minute point of theology. They’re…

I should be discharged soon from the psych hospital! This fiasco started (in my mind) in December 2018 when I was hospitalized and just kinda never could stay out. Before that I used to go inpatient about twice a year, but after Dec ’18 I was literally inpatient more than not. However, insurance doesn’t cover…
