Thanks for your story. It reveals quite specifically what a tremendous source of distress and destruction religious fundamentalism can be even within a small family or community.

No it’s not fundamentalism, but the tree itself. Our Lord said, Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

I'm happy you found peace. I'm agnostic, but I support the freedom to believe or not believe. I hope your journey brings peace and your story encourages others to find peace; whether it's through the same beliefs or different beliefs.
