Foreword
First of all, I would like to make it clear that I have nothing against religion. If someone feels free in their religion, I am happy for them.
For me, however, my childhood was shaped by Baptist Christianity. I was oppressed as a woman and this was brought home to me again and again. As a child, of course, I didn't understand this and thought it was the right way for me to become a 'godly woman'.
This story does not show the one way of Christianity, because there are of course people who feel at home in their religion, where they find hope in religion.
For me, however, growing up has shown that this is not my path and I am glad that I no longer have anything to do with it for most of my life.
However, I will of course include things that have happened in my life in this story, what questions I have asked myself and how I have dealt with them and processed everything. It will not be presented exactly as I experienced it, but I am reporting from my experiences and do not want to attack anyone or their faith with this story.
Perhaps you should have your tissues ready?
It was very difficult for me to write the chapter.
And now I'm indecisive about the ending.
I'm thinking of writing two possible endings, but that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
