Before humans in the meta-movement of domination, exploitation, and extraction, there was no trash. It didn’t exist. Every leaf, every bone, every scrap of food was a gift to something else. That realization provides a sobering reminder to all who decide not to stay Christian. You can leave Christianity, but Christianity won’t leave you. No matter how toxic some of its elements, they will still be there in the environment, living on like plastic trash in the minds and hearts and bodies of your neighbors, and through them, Christianity will still influence you.
