Hi, my name is Julie. My online alias is Cornflower Woman. I've always been a nonconformist--not for the sake of intentionally not conforming, but because no matter how hard I try to fit in, my compulsion for freedom and independence always overpowers my desire for acceptance through assimilation.
I guess you could say, from that perspective, I embody the American Spirit--the spirit that insists on individual autonomy and freedom from tyranny. It's that spirit which has compelled me to launch this series because I believe we each deserve to be our own masters of independent critical thought.

The spirit of Jesus was not present in church, so I left, in an attempt to find it elsewhere. Not long after, I joined Twitter. I found myself drawn to the Exvangelical community, and I found, for the first time in ages, a community of like minded people, who sought the spirit of Christ in church, but did not find it. I immersed myself in this particular corner of Twitter, and it didn’t take long for me to absorb a new set of social and moral norms. At first, I believed this group embodied grace, love, mercy, and compassion, and it did--towards those groups marginalized by evangelical culture--those condemned for sexual deviance or political divergence. However, it became apparent that the group lacked tolerance for anyone who didn’t subscribe to its moral ideals.
