It's late, I have been trying to go to sleep and I can't.   I have been reminded of why I left religion so long ago.   My oldest grandchild wanted to be in a homeschool group that her friends are in.   It is a religious group and we were turned down because I don't believe the same things they do.   I think sucks that folks can discriminate against others based on beliefs.   I would not be teaching or sharing my beliefs with anyone and my grandchild shares their beliefs.   I hate that she has to learn about discrimination at this point in life.  I don't really fit in with any church belief and that has been a problem for me.   I don't feel like I fit in anywhere.   I had hoped that they would escape that curse.  I am frustrated and angry and I can't figure out how to get around this.  I had forgotten how judgemental and intolerant religious people can be   I don't want to deal with it.   I don't want to be around those kind of people.  That isn't my God.   My God is loving and forgiving and accepting of ALL his/her children - regardless of what they believe/don't believe.
