This decision was not hard nor did I feel any pain into coming to this.  My life as a Baha'i and now as an ex-Baha'i is the same -- I am content with the choices that I make.

My life now is to be a better person in front of God and to worship Him without the need of religious dogma.  The circumstances that lead me to leave the Baha'i Faith were a lack of a peace of mind due to obvious problematic issues in the Faith such as scriptural errancy and contradictions in the Creed that I felt were irreconcilable.  I will not blame Baha'is for some of the negative experiences I had with a handful of Baha'is, but I must admit that some of the negative experiences I had did hasten my decision to withdraw from the Faith.
