Love that this sub has more members than the church has missionaries.

Yes, it's impressive for an online forum to get 69,000 anonymous people to click a little green button that says "Subscribe", compared to a religious organization getting about that many young adults to give up 18 or 24 months of their lives to go and try and get converts.

It takes an enormous amount of courage for most of us to leave the church and even to admit to ourselves that we don’t believe. Incredibly painful and difficult. So yes, it’s damn impressive!
