Too Much Nick

I grew up deeply religious, and so this kind of tribalism isn’t a new phenomenon to me - it’s a big part of why I couldn’t call myself a Christian anymore. Also, I thought some premarital sex would really hit the spot. I wasn’t wrong about that, either. Wow! But I remember hating people who didn’t believe what I believed, precisely because they didn’t believe it already, even though it was literally my job to help them understand. I had my own radio station and my own television station, and I told people I’d never met before to “get right, or get left,” which basically means “go to hell.” It didn’t work real well.

Forcing you to read it all because this is how religion once worked for me too.
