Well, the public shaming wasn't formal. :) It was a more impromptu happening. And it could have been worse. Our Sunday School teacher happened to be a minister, and she understood what I was saying without being overly shocked. But my classmates would have been less shocked had I confessed to being a criminal, I think. :)
I used to study the matter quite a bit, because I really wanted to know how what I thought was a perfectly reasonable theological position became heretical. I certainly couldn't see anything in the Bible itself. So I read "When Jesus Became God" and several other books on heresy. Actually I'm a heretic on several topics, not just this one although it's probably the most glaring.
I'm not sure how I lost interest. I guess it was around the time I gave up on ever being able to attend Sunday School.
