Dear Believers,
Welcome to Reasons To Doubt. as I explained in my introduction, the purpose of this site is nothing more than to systematically comprehend, to myself, the vast amount of doubt that has led me to no longer call myself a Christian. My goal is to write a book-length letter to my friends and family that continue to consider themselves evangelical Christians. My purpose is not to “deconvert” anyone. To do so may be enlightening and purifying, but it is hardly something that I wish upon any person. I wish only to explain my thoughts for my own piece of mind. That said, let me say what must be said.
As this is for use for a future book to my family (don’t worry, I won’t be naming anyone), every believer here will be treated not as an adversary, but as family. You are taking the role of the people that I must come clean to in a fully rational agnostic outing. Perhaps, in the process, your arguments and debates will make more sense to me, but I am beyond the point of common apologetics and emotional arguments for obvious reasons. In regards to the former, I lost my faith during the study of Biblical apologetics, an area that I had been interested in ever since a child. As for the latter, emotional de-conversion was the hardest experience I have ever had. I fought tooth and nail to deny my doubts. I failed.
As I also stated in my introduction, I will not respond to fundamentalist trolls. If you are a mature fundamentalist with reasonable arguments, I will gladly discuss the topic at hand. But do not preach to me as a moral or spiritual superior. Your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears.
