Your testimony was very interesting! When I was younger, I just couldn't conceive that someone could believe in God and not be obsessed with accomplishing every darn crazy commandment written in the Bible. I was so terrified with the idea of Hell that it was beyond me how someone could acknowledge God and just live with their life normally, like you did. Be aware now that just don't mind this whole Bible stuff at all is a legitimate way of seeing religion is new to me. It doesn't mean people who do that are perverse. They just don't care enough (or so they weren't mindwashed so widely to be paranoid about it). Thanks for the new perspective over this matter! Sucess

More black people need to free themselves from the chains of Christianity, proud of you brother

Great video. Long live critical thinking!

Just ran across your story and I want to thank you for sharing. "God Is," is the most perfect theology there is. 'Nuff said!!!

It sounds like you didnt actually read the Bible. People just taught you what they thought about the word of God.. I believe in God because of everything I see in the world .. things couldn’t have created themselves .. can I ask what do you believe about the origins of our universe ?

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. You are not alone.

Around the age of nine or ten, I began questioning God's goodness. Even then, Christianity just wasn't making sense to me. After 41 years I still haven't looked back.

Just found y’all!! I am a redneck hillbilly and proud of it!!! From Deep South!! Love to you both!! ❤

Mmmh meet many fit assholes. It means very little outside that you have healthy habits.

💯👌🏽Health is the new wealth.

Lezzzz goooo

Ironically, if you spent half that time and energy giving her an EXTENDED REST while YOU cooked, cleaned, did laundry, and looked after the kids, she'd prob THROW IT at you.

Sir yes sir🫡

I'm willing to bet tho that, nobody goes back and checks the history of a location from the past 100 years before shooting a video.... Ppl were a little overreacting to the second verse where he's talking about guns, which tells me nobody pays attention in general, because the government was trying to take everyone's guns, he said "one day they say they're gonna round up" telling them as well

Thanks you

My wife and I had a similar story. We've finally ditched the whole label of Christian. It does feel good and free, but we do live in a world that on the whole, is religion based, so at times, you will feel up against those that are closest to you. On a personal note, I've found a lot of answers in pantheism, just check it out, using a variety of sources. I'm only saying it resonates with me, if not you, fine, life is a beautiful journey, may yours be beautiful. Peace to you.

Heaven off god is within you … not in the church not in scriptures not with your priest not in the sky . Only within …

God is not a Christian doctrine… you will loose many Christian friends . It’s normal , religion is a sectarian club . When you start thinking for yourself it’s not popular. You are a threat to their beliefs. In their eyes you have lost your way and need to repent lol … it’s so satanic. 😂

That's as real as it gets. I know that feeling. You look at your family and know how much your presence means to them. It turns every day into Game 7 mentality. Ready to go, but feeling that heat.

My thing is not worrying about weather it's true or not my focus is the damage Christianity and religion as a whole is destroying this planet 😢we are going to be good or bad regardless of weather we believe in gods but i think the reason we get tangled in religions deadly spider webs is because we are all anxious to know what happens in the after life so we listen to stories that men tell each other and were so desperate for answers that we start to believe 🕷️🕸️ and that's when all the control mechanisms come into play. Hook line and sinker. Raise your hand if you know a child getting kicked out of there house for being gay Raise your hand if you know a wife that stays in an abusive relationship because that's what the church told her Raise your hand if you've told your children there going to burn in hell if they don't believe in your specific version of the 4000 plus gods or Jesus Christs out there that cant agree on one denomination Raise your hand if your parents or anyone for that matter have told you to live by faith or that you're gonna burn for having regular sexual human desires. Statistically speaking if you're reading this your arm is probably tired and i don't just mean from that last example 😂but seriously though there is no shortage of religious damage out there and i won't even get into politics but it only gets worst if you fancy yourself a good person and you just except this nonsense without questioning you are ripe for abuse or your perfectly aware and your ready to abuse 😢

Every "Christian" person I have met in my life minus one was an absolutely terrible person inside and got into it because they knew that they needed "help". Literally every last one. Terrible, selfish, mean-spirited, debauched, and miserable.

Oh loooooord, whoever was offended by being called a redneck or a hillbilly was never a redneck or a hillbilly, because we wear our names as a badge of honor 😂🤣🤣 never apologize to those people, they are perpetually offended on everyone else's behalf. Life will be better when we tune them out 😋

Read the Quran

I appreciate your testimony, it was very insightful, I'm a christian and I resonate with some things that you said especially about things in your life becoming worse you became a christian, its quite common it happened to me aswell, Jesus actually said this will happen to some new believers because the devil knows you're not mature yet so he will try get you at early stages of your faith to get you to leave the faith, read the the parable of the sower in Matthew 13 (I know you said you dont believe in the bible but it will only take about 5mins to read, whats the worst that can happen lol). Also you mentioned about the stress of the serving God and following his rules, I'm not surprised, the bible says its impossible to serve God without having the holy spirit. You said that you're now kind of agnostic so I will just say this, God is an actual person so you need to view him that way and speak to him as a person, if you are struggling to believe in the things written in the bible then just say that to him, it doesn't need to be some long drawn out prayer, he created you and knows what it will take for you to believe in him, he will hear you if you are sincere, he really will. One last thing if you haven't stopped reading by now lol, you said you're now living the most peaceful life you've ever lived since leaving 'Christianity', Jesus said this in Mark 8:36-38 'For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?'

How long would be too long, cuz I thought 15 minutes was the minimum but I still don’t know, or does it depend on each machine

Well good thing im a bit of sucker for pain. Even if i dont want to, when i workout, i let the devil out.

What really shocked me the most about those christians is - that most of them are really cold hearted, mean and very often toxic, narc. people. Same about those pastors too.

We deal with all that shit silently so she dont have to, and kids dont have to. That is a choice, and we made it.

Jesús will help you along the way if you turn to him and trust him❤️

🦋💯♥️♥️

I'm Stan.

Just a normal man day bro

You didn't get to pick which soul you wanted for your children. He knew how you was going to be....be the best you can be and let the rest follow. Be strong and courageous ❤

Thank you for the message

Facts!!!!! If you ask the question, then it means you care!! Keep up the good work brother!!!

Stay strong my freind

So true, it's about making it a priority.

Thank you. The calm in your voice accompanies the strenght of your message. Christianity gives me a lot of anxiety and isolates me from my true feelings. Especially since my mother uses the religion to deny her insecurities and anxiousness. It's quite debilitating and it took me a long time to break free from the psychic mindgames. I was basically bullied in and out of Christianity. I'm glad I'm out. I'm still defensive and at times hostile towards Christians. Funny enough I repeat the mantra "forgive them father for they do not know what they do" to keep calm and move on. 😂❤

It takes a while for the brain chemicals to balance out even after we stop drinking & using, before we feel better. That's why it's so important not to give in to the cravings & relapse.....

I understand, completely bro

Ketamine

I know it first hand. Just don't drink!! It really really does get better. I'm with you 💘

It took me 10 years of research to reach this point which I reached a couple weeks ago now I'm into other peoples deconstruction stories. I think A lot of people dont understand how many years & how many hours of study some us put in wanting to believe. But the more I researched the more the whole thing fell apart. Its a little sad but it very freeing. I'm a truth seeker. I love studying history & ancient times & structures. As a fellow black man thank you for this video. I do believe there is a creator to whatever this existence is we experience. I just dont think its the god in the bible, or quran

You didn’t lose a friend, you gained one here bro

YOU GOT THIS!!!! YOU ARE LOVED!!!! YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON!!! GOD ALWAYS HAS A PLAN FOR YOU!!!!

Stay Blessed ❤

Brother You know the drill It’s not easy at all But it’s the way for freedom Step by step, minute by minute, day after day And never forget who you are and the power of your own enemy celebrating each small victory thanking God who gives us the strength God bless you

I was a preacher and bible teacher for more than 10 years. I got to the same conclusions as you, plus all the manipulation used in the church to keep people in it. I am definitely happier, and more at peace after I left the church.
