The name "Discarded Daughter" may seem sorrowfully pretentious in a look-at-me-I'm-a-victim sort of way, but that really isn't how I mean it. Let me try to explain.
I don't know if you know this, but there's this "culture war" going on between the Gays and the Christians. Sadly, there's been a lot of carnage of both the spiritual and emotional kind and the blood and gore kind (hate crimes and suicides). For me, the experience has been of the emotional and spiritual kind. The kind that happens when, all the sudden, who you are, who you were created as, becomes an unsuspecting wedge that, when driven down by the unbending theology of the masses, splits an individual from his family, his friends, his church, and most importantly, his God.
I feel like part of the carnage of this "war."
I feel discarded.
I feel abandoned by the Church community I was once part of.
Do you feel the same way?
This is the purpose for the blog: I'm trying to recover what I've seemingly lost with God. I'm tired of being separated from Him and I'm tired of blaming it on the Church and on Him. I want to know the Truth, whether I like it or not. I want to go the Bible and be able to read it again.
This blog is for the discarded, the in-betweeners, the disillusioned, the seemingly forgotten, and for those who just have enough time to read the ramblings of an ex-evangelical, gay, college-kid.
