So since HIV is only a century old , can we observefind these changes that created it ? <| sep |> There ' s no school tomorrow <| sep |> I can speak to this from experience . Christianity absolutely changed my life . And I ' m about 90 % certain I would have killed myself if I hadn ' t immersed myself in religion when I did . But it was 100 % an echo chamber . When I ' m dragging my husband to Sunday night service on young earth creation and how science really supports it to try to convince him and really me that is true . Or when I silent a year and a half volunteering at a pregnancy center telling girls who had negative test that abstinence was the way to go all the while thinking OH MY GOSH USE CONDOMS ALL THE CONDOMS ! And it was when my church took a hardline stance on anti gay marriage that my cognitive dissonance got too strong . Multiple sermons with outright lies . And so I quit going . And then I started reading . And with the echo chamber gone I was able to say this doesn ' t make sense and it doesn ' t bring anything positive to my life . It ' s been almost 2 years since I walked away from religion . I ' ve had many discussions with my religious family and friends and it ' s the same things I said when I was religious so it ' s hard for them to have an impact but I am not moved by them .
