After leaving Mormonism, and prior to our overall Christian deconstruction, our family started attending a really nice generic non-denominational Christian church near our home. They have a fantastic youth program, cameras and background checks in all classrooms, fun Jesus music, a well-funded program with a small footprint. The lead pastor was relatable, engaging and spent tons of time with the people of the church. He and his pastor team did a great job taking biblical stories and putting a positive life spin on them to always learn.
We went for about a year and even had our oldest attend their annual summer camp. We really felt like we landed in a safe space. We treated our worship time as a service and donated money as we saw fit for spiritually feeding us and for causes like donating for less fortunate kids to get school supplies and other service drives.

One Sunday, he was talking about Noah's Ark and talking through the specificity in the dimensions of the ark. How God knew to tell Noah how to specifically build the ark.
Keep in mind, we had not deconstructed Christianity at this point. At one point in the sermon, the lead pastor ventured into how the ark was so big that it could have, and likely housed dinosaur species. I remember looking over to my wife, and she knew instantly what I was thinking....they jumped the shark.

I have no idea why I was OK with a global murder flood, but putting dinosaurs on the ark was my deal breaker....kinda ashamed at my thinking...but we move on, right? At least it was something to contribute to really breaking it down.
No offence intended to those who have transitioned to a different Christian denomination. I realize and accept that everyone lands in different spots.
