https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6LTYrs3JTo
If you are #deconstructing from Christianity, you've likely encountered a lot of "thought terminating clichés" used by #Christians with the intent to halt #criticalthought and encourage #blindfaith. Let's discuss some of the most common phrases to see if they align with #critical #thought and #reason.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpuBry4Bi-k
When #deconstructing your #faith, many ideas you once believed and cherished now seem preposterous or even horrific. The notion that #God was always present and would never leave or forsake me was one such idea that I re-examined after #deconverting and becoming an #atheist. As I travel through Rio de Janeiro, the #Christ the Redeemer statue is constantly overhead, but here's what life would be like if God was really always watching you.

#Deconstructing Lot in #Sodom | Was Lot a #Righteous Man?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whuUbwRdBMk
Did #God destroy an entire city because of "homosexuality"? Did #Lotswife long to go back to Sodom? Was Lot spared because he was a "righteous man"?
Let's #deconstruct the story of Lot in Sodom through our former #evangelical/#fundamentalist lens and see if we come to the same conclusions they wanted us to in #SundaySchool.

Can #Christians make a case for objective #moral #values? If objective moral values exist, do they come from the Christian #god? Is Christian morality genuine ethics or blind obedience?

#Deconstructing #AdamAndEve | Why #Eden Was A Set Up

What really happened in the #gardenofEden, and who's really to blame?
"In this episode, I'm unpacking the story of #Adam and #Eve as taught in most #fundamentalist and #conservative #churches. I'll make the case for why there is only one bad guy in this story- and it isn't Adam, Eve or the serpent."

1002 followers · 828 posts · Server zirk.usBible question for those it applies to:
Highlighting, underlining, margin notes in your Bible? What’s your practice? Is there a method or intention behind it?
I grew up evangelical and only know highly performative and uncomfortable uses for bibles and highlighters, but am genuinely curious about valid uses in faith practices.
This is hugely subjective, and I’m looking for your thoughts!

There is someone on here who said he would not answer my question until I follow him. I see this as bizarre on a forum set up to compliment a podcast about #deconstructing current affairs.

510 followers · 68 posts · Server defcon.social#Introduction: Howdy. I'm an author who specializes in #deconstructing #cult tactics, #AbuseCulture, healing #ReligiousTrauma, and #Mormonism. My book #RecoveringAgency deconstructs #Mormon manipulation. I #ghostwrite and #edit part-time for a living. Before that, I worked in IT from 1996-2011.
In 2015 I left my abuser of seven years, and since have been disabled with #PTSD and other chronic conditions, fighting #suicide. I was unable to work at all for five years. My personal narrative now is about recovery out of that #DarkSojourn. I'm usually in some kind of pain, and try not to whine too much about it.
My interests are wide and varied and I will not remember them all here. I dabble in #infosec, #fiction writing, #philosophy. DXed with #autism circa 2010. #GenX obsessed with the #90s. I love #music, #psychology, and thinking about #culture.
Will probably update this as I think of things.
