Resignation

No less than an hour ago, I made it final. I can feel my priesthood powers diminishing already as my resignation letter waits exultantly in the outgoing mailbox outside of my apartment. Using the excellent sample letter provided by MormonNoMore.com, I drafted my own letter. Though no one of significance in Salt Lake is likely to read it, I gave the church a message of its worth to me:

“This insensible, fairytale organization of vain sacrifice has ceased to be of service to me. I can no longer will myself to deliberately invest my conviction in the establishment of disparaging lies, nor do I possess the prospective wherewithal to desire such limitations in the future. Hence, I am the sole proprietor of my mind and agency, and no religion or religious figurehead will maintain otherwise.”
