Hate to tell you Jared, but the folks I know from Christian families with 7 or 8 siblings all ended up being queer agnostic socialists, so I'm not sure this plan is going to work.

Today I was accused of never being a real Christian and that my time as a pastor must have been a get rich quick scam. I assure you, the only one getting rich off my time as a pastor is my therapist.

In the wake of tragedy and senseless violence many of us ask âWhen will this end?â In response to this, Christians throughout my life have answered ânot until Jesus returnsâ and itâs infuriating. Because the truth is Jesus has returned.

Not sure why people are so surprised that the deconverted/deconstructed care deeply about ethics, equity, and justice. We didn't leave so that we could do whatever we want without consequences. If we wanted that, we would have become evangelical pastors.

An observation about growing up evangelical. đ§”. Like many others, there was a fair amount of media I wasn't allowed to view or at least discouraged from consuming. Much of it for the more obvious reasons ie. sex, drugs, swearing, etc. But that wasn't all of it. 1/.

âWe do not like this Jesus theyâre dangerous and evilâ you cry, as you wave your flag and call on your leaders to protect the status quo. What then do we do with this Jesus, your leaders ask? And you cry out, âcrucify him!â . Jesus continues to return. You just keep killing him.

the reason behind this, and the inevitable outcome was to make me believe that moral lessons, values, education, love, and beauty weren't to be trusted if they came from a "secular" source. That without Jesus these things (& the people behind them) were ultimately depraved. 3/.

That even if something seemed good, true, or beautiful it really wasn't if it wasn't "christ centered" or "christian". More concerning was that the inverse of this was also communicated. If something "christian" seemed off, disconcerting, or downright wrong. it couldn't be. 4/.

It conditioned me from an early age to perceive the world in a way that was both damaging to my development & set me up to harm much of the world around me. This realization upon my deconversion changed everything for me. But I don't think it requires folks to deconvert. 5/.

"Leaving Xianity for deconstruction, is just leaving one group for another". So what?.I didn't leave Xianity because I didn't want to be in a group. I left because it was harming me. I'm not trying to be some kind of "rogue free thinker" I'm trying to be healthy. Leave me alone.
