In this episode, I discuss the reasons why I left Christianity. Topics include how I became comfortable disagreeing with the Bible, being pressured to speak in tongues as a child, my thoughts on religious experiences, basing beliefs on evidence rather than moral pressure, God’s immoral actions and commandments in the Old Testament, why typical Christian responses to these passages are unconvincing, and why Christians often dismiss stories like mine as being ill-motivated. Buckle up, this one’s going to be a wild ride.
This episode is highly graphic and very personal. Probably not suited for children. Listener discretion is advised.
Immoral Old Testament Passages:
2 Samuel 6:6-7 God kills Uzzah for trying to protect the ark
Leviticus 20:13 Commandment to kill those who practice homosexuality
Deuteronomy 22:13-21 Commandment to stone to death brides who aren’t virgins
