Text on image reads: "The reason we are seeing some Christians justifying war and the murder of children is because, despite this modern age, a large portion of the population still grants moral authority to an outdated, violent, religious text. Liberal Christians, the problem is not the theology. It's the text. The text to which you give authority rather than condone. The text that portrays a god who considers the murder of children, among other atrocities, sometimes justified. The text that you make excuses for. Every time you call out the theology instead of the highly problematic text, you look like you either haven't read it or that your problem is not with murder, but with who gets to decide when god says the murder is justified." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #religioustrauma #theology #progressiveChristianity #Bible #ChristianNationalism #politics

Text on image reads: "Narratives can be valuable for memory and inspiration, but they do not tell you what is good or true. And sure, you can just keep accusing nationalists and fundamentalists of 'not being Christlike' while they say the same to you until the end of time. Or we can change the conversation to whether this belief system is sufficiently good to begin with." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #theology #epistemology #progressiveChristianity #criticalthinking

Text of the image reads: "'Liberal Christians do not support war, genocide, slavery, women as property, cruelty to animals, or hell.' When they support a god who supported these things, when they support a god who did not repent of, renounce, or clarify these things, when they do not say god was wrong for what he said and did concerning these things, they are supporting the legitimacy of these things." #Christianity #atheism #religiousharm #justice #criticalthinking

Changing the Conversation Christianity is not sufficiently good

Text on image reads: "Christians who don't delete the problematic writings, dispel the harmful ideas, and disown the inferior god believed to author them will continue to prop up the dangerous versions of Christianity that perpetually resurface." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #religioustrauma #ChristianNationalism #theology

The Time Has Come for a Reckoning For many years I've made myself smaller and allowed others to be made smaller to protect the many Christians I know and love.

Text on image reads: "Satan doesn't tell people they are unworthy, inherently flawed, and deserving of eternal punishment. God does." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #mentalhealth #religioustrauma

Text on image reads: "Christianity doesn't just have an interpretation problem. It has a framework that insulates itself from ethical scrutiny. Legitimizing implicit trust in authority is DANGEROUS. When your foundational message is 'believe I am moral even when I look immoral,' you've built a system that can justify ANYTHING." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #authoritarian #criticalthinking

Text on image reads: "What we are seeing is a political manifestation of the inherent problems of Christianity. 'Believe I care about truth, even when I am silent, secretive, or ambiguous and abstain from clarifying.' 'Believe I am taking care of you even when I cause or allow you to suffer.' 'Believe to avoid punishment and receive reward.' 'Believe others deserve severe punishment.' It is no wonder that we see such declines in empathy and critical thinking. This is the catechism of Christianity." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #religion #Christianity

The Problems in Christianity Run Deep I am truly grateful that I am at least seeing SOME Christians calling out what they consider to be unChristlike behavior.

I have heard Wuthering Heights and the Bible described as the greatest love story. My question in both cases is: "Have you read it?"
