When talking about faith deconstruction there are a lot of myths around why people do it. But what's the truth? What does the hard data point to? Why do people end up deconstructing their faith?

Thanks ,Phil. I never thought it could happen to me, that I would just stop believing. It all literally just stopped making any sense. The hell thing was definitely one of the big problems.

Its an up and down emotionl process. It has been about a year and a half since we left. Im thankful that my husband and I are going through this together, because its lonely to lose all of your "church family"

@@jodiet9015 so sorry to hear that... It's a killer process to have to navigate for sure. That's wonderful that your husband came along with you. It's a whole other level to have a partner not understand and freak out about you going on this process as well as family, friends, church etc. You'll get there! It takes time but new community forms and peace in the uncertainty is developed... before long its much more ups than downs :)

@@PhilDrysdale LOVE LOVE LOVE IT... Btw statistics are showing that church pews are emptying out more and more each week in which I'm so grateful for. My main concern is for the evil children that are going to hell (being sarcastic)... it's just so disturbing knowing that children are being indoctrinated with fear of hell and I hope they can find a way out somehow. My main wish is that more and more parents will deconvert because those teachings are causing so much psychological and emotional damage especially for children who may be potentially LGBTQ...young Christian teen's have committed suicide because of those teachings and many gay kid's are also kicked out of their homes because of these evil teachings as young as 13 year's old. Very nice meeting you too Phil... have a great day/ night or whatever time it is in the UK.

Perhaps the title should be "Myths about why people deconstruct"

I started deconstructing and WAKING UP once I started REALLY READING and studying the Bible and doing extensive research… I must reveal that most Christian’s don’t really read the Bible or they just stick with the warm and fuzzy, nice, comfortable scriptures they have cherry-picked and just take everything and anything their Pastors spew out of their mouth’s from the pulpit’s as truth instead of researching the Bible for themselves in which they ALSO NEVER ask any questions, in fact I was kicked out of numerous churches for asking too many questions. So being FULLY IN AND ALL ABOUT JESUS for over 30 years and then deconstructing was horrifying and a complete nightmare for me…I was overcome by extreme fear of going to hell and fell into deep depression due to the loss of community because all my so-called love of Jesus Christian friends had completely shunned me (where’s the love of Jesus?) Anyhow my main reason for deconstructing was coming to the realization that the god of the Bible was an EVIL PSYCHOPATH with a split personality and after dissecting the scriptures verse by verse (lot’s of exhausting work), I had finally come to the conclusion that the Bible was the most EVIL IMMORAL BOOK ever written…it made a Steven King horror novel look like a children’s Cinderella bedtime story! I ALSO came to the realization that there was no truth to the Bible because it was adopted and hijacked from ancient mythology…it’s all a crock of shit and just a man made book written by men and not at all inspired by a loving god. But what about Jesus in the New Testament??? Don’t let Jesus fool you either because Jesus and his father are ONE making Jesus ALSO the same god as the Old Testament and there were many times when Jesus was a real dick in the NT. So Jesus has to be in agreement with the OT in which the Yahweh god endorses, sanction’s, and perpetrates the most EVIL atrocities on humankind such as genocide, infanticide, rape, sex trafficking, starvation, torture, thievery, barbaric abortions by having his people slicing open the wombs of pregnant women by the sword and having the unborn ripped out from their wombs (Yahweh was the first abortionist and was all for it!)…need I continue? This is the EVIL god Christianity worships but little do they know that their Yahweh/Jesus are nothing more than ancient mythological, fictional characters and technically Christianity stem’s from ancient PAGANISM passed down from ancient Egyptian and Zoroastrian blood sacrifice death cult’s…YES I’ll express myself more clearly…Christianity is a Blood Sacrifice Death Cult….There, I said it and not afraid to say it again…Christianity is a Blood Sacrifice Death Cult passed down from other ancient PAGAN cult’s…so here I go again and not afraid to say it, Christianity is a PAGAN religion copied from ancient PAGANISM. Even their holidays such as Christmas and Easter are PAGAN and have nothing to do with a baby Jesus in a manger or a bloody tortured guy hanging on a cross. Don’t take my word for it…DO THE INTENSE, EXTENSIVE RESEARCH for yourself like millions of the rest of us X-Christian’s have done and have walked away from the CULT of Christianity and this ALSO includes X-Pastors/Ministers who have walked away from the insanity of Christianity in which we are all grateful to have found out the REAL TRUTH about that ancient EVIL book called the Bible. United States here 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
