During my final year attending BYU, I began questioning my faith in Mormonism, though I did not fully let go of that faith til close to the end of my first year at Cal Poly in May of 2002. At that point, as the last threads of my faith in Mormonism broke, I wrote a letter to the Mormon church officially withdrawing from their religion. I am no longer Mormon, but the knowledge that God is love, that God is every one of us and more, that peace on earth and goodwill to all is all that's really worth telling has finally settled in my mind.

Some of the links below are of things that I wrote soon after I left Mormonism to help others understand why I departed. As you read, please excuse any undertones of anger and frustration. When I wrote these, I was still processing it all myself -- and I continue to process it all as my involvement in the LA Exmormon community will testify. Even now my perspective of Jesus has even departed immensely from what you'll find below, but in essence, my simple understanding of the message of Jesus is that of what I said at the end of the previous paragraph.

May all know peace and goodwill.
