Did anyone else get deconverted by a single sentence?
#20
RE: Did anyone else get deconverted by a single sentence?
I guess I was like many of the folks here. For many years, for decades, I fought to hold on to my “personal relationship with Jesus” against a slow tide of increasing cognitive dissonance, to which the convoluted answers of the church and the bizarre teachings of the bible contributed mightily.

I don’t recall if there was a single moment or event where it all came to a head and it dawned on me that the church was a cesspool of undigested lies it came to many heads.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
--Voltaire

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
