10 Things I Did As a Christian That Now I Realize Is Not Normal
Growing up in a devout Christian household, my life was centered around faith, prayer, and church activities. Everything I did revolved around the teachings of Christianity, and I never questioned the norms that had been ingrained in me since childhood. It was only later in life, as I began to explore the world outside of my religious bubble, that I came to realize just how abnormal some of my past behaviors and beliefs were.
