For those asking why I no longer believe—here are the specific doctrines and difficulties I could no longer reconcile.
Subsitutionary atonement
The concept of eternal torment
The improbability of a resurrection or miracles
The hiddeness of god (mainly in my own life)
The lack of change in the lives of Christians
The problem of random, and unnecessary suffering
The lack of unity in Christianity
I am aware all Christians don't share the views on these, some don't even see issues.…. but I was raised evangelical Christian and they embrace or explain them away as part of their theology. The fact Christians don't agree is the last problem.
Please don't feel the need to give me a refresher course on the apologetics. I know those all too well.

Christian Nationalism in One Sentence:
"I want a Christian nation where Christ rules and Christian morality/ethics are supreme ... and I'll kill, deport, imprison, and hurt anyone who gets in my way to have it!"
When it looks, walks, and talks like Caesar ... it isn't Christ.
If conversion experiences are genuinely valued for their insight, believers would engage with the experiences of Christians who became atheists. Yet, they rarely do.

Do you only forgive when someone asks, or do you sometimes forgive unbidden in order to repair a relationship?

This bullshit….right here. I’m Agnostic…and this photo shows one of many reasons why.

Seriously! Ugh. By the time I adjust to fall backward, spring is here with the forward BS.

Just a friendly reminder that James Comey is still being criminally prosecuted by the Trump administration for posting a photo with beach shells the shape of

Hard to believe. But that’s how far the GOP has fallen.

Trump: Abdul El-Sayed would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector.

Here’s an interesting thought experiment, suppose Adam and Eve actually existed and they lived forever if they didn’t sin. Assuming their offspring also didn’t sin and lived forever. In a few thousand years you’d have a quadrillion people roaming the earth, living forever!
I didn't leave Christianity angry either… one doubt lead to another, and another, and another. It never had sufficient answers for the deepest doubts.
I didn't leave Christianity angry. I left it after one small conversation with a friend about good and evil. One question I couldn't answer honestly, and it sent me questioning everything I had believed my whole life.
I did the research nobody wanted me to do. Now I write ebooks and share what I found, the evidence on the table.
And I want to connect. With skeptics who see it like I do. With believers who see it completely differently. With anyone still sitting in a pew quietly doubting and thinking they're the only one.
Follow along, reply, argue with me, ask me anything. I answer. Meaningful conversation with everyone is the whole point of this account.

We don’t need to imagine motives, only admit the facts. The fact is:
1) Trump grotesquely exploits religion for political gain
2) this gives him another photo op before midterms he can use to exploit religion for political gain
I don’t need imagination; you need denial 😑

Content penned by their god's hand: 0%
Content penned by men in the midst of a fever dream: 100%
The idea that this god used men as pens, giving them divine will/inspiration, is undeniably one of the funniest explanations ever given for a text's authorship.
