Believer laments devotion to a 'saint' revealed as false

Original: I've only just realized that the saint I worshipped years ago held nothing but filth and lust. What a waste of all that

A person has publicly expressed disillusionment after concluding that a figure they once revered as a saint was instead 'filth and lust', calling years of devoted feeling and honesty a waste spent on a lie. They add that they came to resemble the figure themselves, prompting reflection online about misplaced faith, idolising flawed people, and the pain of discovering betrayal in matters of love and belief.

Why now: Confessions of lost faith and disillusionment with once-idolised figures resonate widely with people who have experienced similar betrayals.

• I've only just realized that the saint I worshipped years ago held nothing but filth and lust. What a waste of all that feeling and honesty, spent on a lie. And in the end, I became something like her. # faith # love · kaloovaloo
