JESUS

Video Description (from Youtube)

Today I spoke with Derrick Day, a former Christian preacher who dabbled in progressive Christianity for a time before fully deconverting.

As we walked through his story, we touched on various topics, such as:

• How the horrific Christian response to the social and political issues of the last few years has helped many people see through the hypocrisy and foolishness of Christianity and the church.
• How the Bible is used for subjugation and control.
• The Biblical perspective of focusing on minute details (how to tithe, what fabrics to weave together), while ignoring gross injustices.
• The only passage in the Bible that talks directly about abortion (Numbers 5), where the Yahweh character advises a priest how to create a magic dust potion and create abortions in supposedly unfaithful women.
• How the Bible does not stand up under honest scrutiny.
• The fact that there were dozens of other gospels and epistles, and that most Christians are entirely unaware of them, unaware of how some went in and out of the canon, fail to ask the questions of why those other books were left out, and fail to be shocked at why their church leaders never mentioned them.
• The appeal yet ultimate emptiness of progressive Christianity.
• The idea that if you haven't at least flirted with the idea that there is no god, you haven't deconstructed far enough.
• How the evolution of humanity's mindset will require us to jettison religion.
• How leaving Christianity is about graduating from bad ideas in order to become the best person and embrace the most accurate worldview we can.

Thanks to Derrick for sharing some of his story today … I can't wait to connect with him again!
