Dear family,
It has been almost one year since I realized fully that I could no longer believe the tenets of Christianity in just about any form. I searched high and low, studied the Bible diligently, studied the apologetic arguments deeply, and talked to probably hundreds of individuals from family members to professors to pastors to other students at Moody Bible Institute. Many of you may remember my initial notes on Facebook. At that time I was simply trying desperately for any individual who could provide sufficient Christian answers to questions which already had excellent answers outside the faith. The responses I received from Christians pushed me further away from the faith. The occassional hatred, predictability, and clear lack of critical thinking in so many responses convinced me that the Holy Spirit could not be indwelling those who were posting on my notes.
I simply could no longer believe…
