I don’t follow Humans of New York on any social media platform; however, many of my friends do, and they share posts by the photographer on a regular basis. I’m glad they do. Otherwise I would’ve missed this one.

I’m not adding much commentary or the image itself. Go ahead and click it, and if you like it, give credit where credit is due, and not by liking my post about the photograph.*

The caption is a former Baptist ordained minister who lost his faith after finding himself unable to reconcile suffering with his beliefs.

*Of course, if you feel like discussing the image with me, feel free to comment.
