Hi everyone. I'm David. I was a minister for a long time when I quit believing. It took a while to get out of the ministry but I made it. If you're dying to know more I write about it in my blog, davidashleymercer.com.

Hi, David, and welcome to the website!
By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve, so here's some info, in case you need it.
For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.
You gain website points by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.
Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.
If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.
Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others with similar interests..
In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page.

Thank you.
Did you realize the control factor slowly or was it an epiphany? Do the people that followed you shun you or do they understand?

It took a long time to admit it to myself. The people who knew me are now confused but most didn't shun me
Howdy and welcome here. Are you also a member of the clergy project?

Hi. Yes I am.
@Damercer1961 I got my first college degree from a Lutheran, LCMS, college and I can also tell of the similarities of its peoples and the "what" we are now observing of the Catholic "molestation" thoughts of those events.
It was easy to trick those church members. But it's impossible for you to, now, convince them that you tricked them.

I didn't intentionally trick them but yes, they don't hear me now.
@Damercer1961 I know you didn't.
@Damercer1961 Yes. I understand. We were all indoctrinated before we could use critical thinking.
It must have hurt you to brainwash them people like that didn't it ??

Yes I have many regrets about that.
Qiru:
@Damercer1961 as an atheist I guess I can kinda let you slide for being honest, but if you fuck around and relapse with that mumble jumble shit. Believe me, what and how we are coming at you now is only the half of it. So welcome to the world of nerds and brainiacs fucktard ✌
