I let myself read texts that weren't assigned by, or endorsed by, the fundamentalist religion into which I was born, which in retrospect was practically life-giving. > What would you have changed? I'd need to talk in terms of various universes to even start on this one, maybe. It's not like I'd move from one rail to another.

It's complex but basically doable in a way that a lot of people never really take advantage of.
