Daystar I used to be a fundamental Pentecostal evangelist.I once believed in the Holy Spirit,and the various gifts associated with it.I was involved in what was mainly considered a deliverance ministry which dealt primarily with the expulsion of demons from so called possessed people.I believed that I was infused with the power of the Holy Ghost and people often testified to having been healed or delivered through my ministry.
When I left the church and the ministry the first thing I did was to try and debunk many of the experiences I had in the ministry from faith healing,casting out of demons,speaking in tongues,prophesying,and exercising all the gifts of the spirit at one time or another throughout my ministry.After having left the church I read alot of books on psychology,psychiatry,comparative religion and biblical criticism just to mention a few.In the end I was able to find explanations that were satisfactory to myself so much so that I renounced religion andmy belief in God forever.Honestly nothing could make me go back I feel uncomfortable in a church and find the bible to be an insult to my intelligence due to it's many inconsistencies and self contradictions.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
