Jim, this was medicine.

“Landslide” as a soundtrack for deconstruction? Nailed it. That line about building your life around the “God of Religion” hit like a psalm for the spiritually displaced.

Your seven guilt releases? Solid gold. Especially the reminder not to swap one guru for another. I’ve seen more spiritual pedestal collapses than at a toddler talent show.

Thanks for making space for the mess, the beauty, and the rebellion.

One more thought, religion tends to be patriarchal and based on fear.
