I've always wondered

And the famous response, ‘CS also stands for common sense’? Oh man, that one gets me. How exactly does common sense come into play when we’re supposedly living in a NON-EXISTENT UNIVERSE??

The following is a collection of musings from members of the Ex-Christian Science collective about Christian Science.

One thing I’ve always wondered is how Christian Science looks to a new, adult convert. I was born into it, so I knew nothing else, but how does an adult read Science and Health for the first time and think it’s amazing, and not crazy? That always puzzled me.

I was always confused as to why Mary Baker Eddy was so focused on healing the material body if it wasn’t real.

I always used to wonder why going to the dentist, or getting glasses was OK, but going to the doctor was like a grievous sin. I had an argument with my Dad once about his and other Christian Scientists’ weird obsession with ‘malicious animal magnetism’, if it was, as Christian Science teaches, not real.
