Hello deconstruction.

Atheism, is the obvious over-reaction to escaping a religious upbringing.

Study on this issue shows people going in many different directions both toward and away from religion.

This video outlines the frustration involved in deconstruction.


Let's discuss.

The lad is too smart for his own good, if you never felt the touch of God in your life, how can your faith survive in the age of reason where faith is laughed at and called something for the stupid, and only logic and ratio rule as an iron fist. I would not have survived it also.

Something to that.
I think he over-reacted to end up as an atheist. But that was his choice.
I do understand the deconstruction part though.

I watched his video why he became an atheist also out of curiosity, mainly it's old and effective controversy of the Biblical 6 day creation vs evolution that caused millions to leave the faith. We all have (had) to deal with that.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 KJV

This is why April Fools day was started.... to let all the nutjobs have their own day to celebrate

Yes, CHOOSE to accept Jesus, repenting of your sins confessing Him as your Lord and Savior and start living for Him and never turn away

I didn't because I believe what the Lord says and flush the wisdom of man down the toilet which is where is belongs because it is nothing but sewage.

This guy is a classic example of how the devil seeks to choke the Word of God out of people which he can do if they allow the 5 things Jesus spoke about in Mark 4: 13-20 to enter in that choke God's Word and causes one to become unfruitful.

Thanks for watching the video.
I think it is important to hear people like him tell their story.
Most forum participants refuse to watch the videos I post.
Why do you suppose that is?

There are many issues to grapple with. Evolution is only one of them.

The only reason one leaves
or dont come is due to love of sin .
Who are we fooling , other than ourselves that is .
This man simply didnt want the GOD , THE CHRIST that was in the way of His love for this life and sin .
WHO do we keep kidding . The only and i do mean ONLY reason
anyone either rejects CHRIST and dont come or comes and for a season endures but then leaves , Is their love of this world
of this life , of sin . Fact . and can easily be proven by the scriptures and words of CHRIST .
This kid is nothing more than a deceiver , who first fooled himself .

"Of him that has more [like a Christian upbringing], more will be asked" Jesus (from memory).
