Hey there! I have a similar story and know how much courage it takes to even question, much less reject religious teachings. Good for you! I left Christianity after I began to channel the Archangels and realized that I could leave the religion and still hold on to Jesus, Mary, the Angels, God, etc. I share the Angels’ messages here, and I still get the occasional hate mail from “Christians” when the Angels’ messages go against the Bible or their religion, which I’ve learned to ignore. Everyone has to make sense of things in their own way, and it helps if you follow your heart. Clearly, you did, because you’re happy and at peace . The most important message the Archangels give us is that we are loved unconditionally. I’m not bitter against the church, and in the right setting, I know it helps some people. To each their own. People who really know Jesus don’t judge, condemn, or persecute. Best wishes as you continue on this journey.
