#whyileftmormonism is an amazing hashtag to look through as someone raised in utah, who left the church when they were 18 and who survived a suicide attempt brought on by the guilt its teaching created
#whyileftmormonism is full of stories of overcoming abuse, exploitation, lies, harassment and guilt created by the mormon church and reading them is a joy when compared with my own experience and finding solidarity there

-my own attempted suicide brought on by being taught I was fundamentally flawed and my love and expression defied god's plan

Native Americans came from Asia.
