It’s been the opposite my whole life. Do this, don’t do that, you can’t do this thing you really want to do, go do that.

I regret restraining myself and not doing everything sinful that I yearned to while I was in college. It felt like a big boss in the sky watching my every action and it was exhausting and depressing. How am I free if I have to spend my life restraining what I really want and how I really feel and I can’t have any expectation of a reward lest a bunch of Christians yell at me to “be humble”?

Whats so freeing about a guy who controls the fate of everyone’s afterlife and demands us to follow him or go to hell? How is following Jesus really freedom?
