In this episode of Existential Happy Hour, I tell the saga of how I started out as a fundamentalist church kid and became an agnostic astronaut drifting in space — a story in three acts.

Act I: what happened to micah. fear of hell. fear of disappointing god. wrestling with doubt.

Act II: the evangelism company. the internet. the church with the stained glass windows. divorce. eucharist.

Act III: church dread. lent. the slave girl in pharaoh’s house. leaving egypt.
