Four Reasons I Left Christianity...

Many people ask why I left Christianity. It was a decision that was anything but easy. The struggle with religion can be one of our most challenging battles. Today, we delve into the profound impact of dogmatic indoctrination, and how it played a pivotal role in my life.. I shed light on my own experiences, in hopes it may help others who are on a similar journey.

Milions of people were/are brainwashed, i was one of them, and luckily i had the same doubts- how loving god- like father- would hurt his children, especialy i remember- those who believed in another god, also would go to hell, and i just knew it didnt make sense, it took me a long time, but i freed myself, and found peace. But what you are doing is so needed, i really appretiate it. I remember when the famous Jane “Nightbirde” Marczewski from ‘America’s Got Talent’ was dying, i sent her a message about Dr Joe Dispenza, who teaches people how to heal cancer,and more, and i healed myself from my health issues, and its wasnt even a miracle,its all science...but Jane,her family were not interested in any other option but only trusting god,and Jesus was supposedto save her. Im not saying one bad word about this beautiful singer, and her family, im pointing only to how much damage religions( not all of them probably) do.

I was raised deeply Christian conservative, as well. I remember pondering whether or not I’m the only conscious human as a child. I have no idea how I came up with such a profound question but I kept questioning throughout my life. These days I’m a strong proponent of non-duality. Life has blossomed for me because of the realization of my true nature. Everyone is supposed to do this. Religion needs to be dropped because it only causes conflict. Non-duality can be seen as fact when you actually look inside yourself. You actually see the living Truth.

I left Christianity too. I grew up from a Catholic family, and went Sunday school learning the church teachings. But since I was 18 years I ended up in Europe for work and it took me almost 10 years. That whole time I got a chance to met people from all walks of life. Especially from Israel , different beliefs. Muslims, Buddhism and etc..but I still can't get the fact that is all different in many ways. So I questions every beliefs and found out that no one is certain in their own ways..so I did a few researches and concluded that I still believe that there's a creator but I will never believe in religion and how it all unfold around the world...Religion to me is just the same as a business and it is all about Control and power to control people with limit access to knowledge and wealth... So now I'm a free person from Religion and Christianity. Thank you for every video. It really plays a big part in my belief.

[@jeckie5355]

I can vividly remember the crushing pressure of the first time I was told as a kid that I wasn't good enough. It was at a Vacation Bible School I begged to go to with my friend. My mom had already been through religious abuse so she said no at first but it sounded so fun. It was made just for kids and there would be people there. I was an only child who lived in the country. We spent a lot of our time away from home so that we could be around people. The pastor had the older kids stay behind. I was somewhere between 7 and 9. The theme was the Good News Corral or something Western with a name close to that. He told us about two roads that we had to choose right now. If we wanted to go down the road that led to Heaven or Hell. If we decided to get saved you went up in front of everyone and repeated the sinners prayer. I was sick at my stomach and so torn between preserving my dignity and avoiding hell. I ended up staying in my seat that time but I teared up. I was absolutely horrified. Then in my second year of high school when life was finally working out for me. I was scared into a more strict sect of Christianity by a message so scary it made the first experience with Christianity look like a kitten.

I hope you dont believe in that crap anymore. The hell doctrine was probably invented by the church a few hundred years b.c. Think about it this way.

[@laurendamiano1632]

It’s unfortunate that religious communities aren’t infiltrated by theologians who bring logic and reason into their communities. Many churches have done a lot of good and charitable work but it comes at the cost of mind control, to children at a young age that interfere with their ability to make rational decisions. They carry that with them into adulthood. That’s why we have people watching tic toc and that’s causing adult illiteracy. We need more more philosophers and anthropologists. People who can read 300 pages of a book before they go to bed. I read contracts, know alot about contract law and even legal books are written and structured like the Bible. Reading a bible can prepare you for legal research. But it seems like people are becoming more illiterate. So, all I really wanna say is if you read a book like “the secrets of mental math”, it will teach you to be a better problem solver. If you read a book like “a concise introduction to logic” it will help you become better at proving a point or getting us closer to what’s true. The miracles may exist in the next life or in this life depending on the way you define “miracle”. I think people themselves are miracles. To quote Shakespeare ~ “What a piece of worke is a man! How Noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In forme and mouing
how expresse and admirable! In Action, how like an Angel in apprehension, how like a God!
The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals-and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
Man delights not me- nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.’’ 17:00

I went to church almost everyday for youth group, retreats, catechism, confirmation, all of the above, all of it was branded into my brain and I’ve struggled with letting it go it’s gotten a lil easier but I catch myself thinking oh no is god gonna be mad at me for making this decision. Literally caught myself thinking of it rn as I’m typing this out it’s been hard letting it go and worrying about the fear of going to hell that was also my biggest issue with the catholic religion, it instilled a lot of fear in my life ever since I was a kid I’ve always lived in fear and I’m tired of living in fear. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering great saying by yoda, and I ain’t trying to live like that no more. Im ready to be free from the fears of that religion. I just wanna live a peaceful life and know not everything is gonna be peaceful in life because it’s life but it’s one step closer to peace and that’s alright. I’m not gonna raise my future kids in that lifestyle I’m gonna raise them to be good moral human beings and teach them to respect others and to defend people who can’t defend themselves we need more good people in this world. I’m 25 now and slowly getting free from the fear

Rely on your reason not your feelings or beliefs. Trust yourself. You are not an evil sinner like you may have been told. It's okay to search for the answers to your questions. It's ok if you find out that you're wrong, it's ok if you find out that you're correct. For many of us who left very emotionally manipulating faith groups, these issues appear to us more easily. It doesn't look like abuse, i didnt consider myself abused at the time. I loved God with everything in me. Until the questions began to appear and i realized it wasnt what i thought it was at all. I left when i was 28. I am now 60 and have struggled with the toxic ideas i was indoctrinated in all my life. I have spent the last three yrs seriously concentrating on my deconstruction/conversion

[@whiteglovestudio]

Logic is the way to The Truth. The biggest lie is that both sides (religious & nonreligious) are both right & wrong. Choose the middle road and be free. Rather than choosing trying to disprove another's beliefs instead try to prove them right, this is the way to the truth for either side of the argument. Follow logic and you will walk in god's footsteps. Do not view time as a linear construct, time only exists in that form from our perspective stuck in a mortal body/single dimension. When you come to the conclusion that all is of one mind, one body, and one spirit... being good/well intentioned to yourselves (and each other) is the only sensible choice. Remember who you are. Darkness itself could not exist without light to cast a shadow, light requires nothing to exist and so light precedes darkness. Light always was, always is, and always will be. God does not require worship, god requires nothing. Anything claiming the contrary is a falsehood only designed to lead you into darkness. I wish I could be less ambiguous but most are not ready to receive the plain and simple truth. Perfect understanding will cast out all hatred, anger, and malice from your hearts.

[@developercm]

Back in the mid 1980's, I was invited to a "Church" in upstate NY, which, after being there for a while, it became very psychologically destructive. They taught the "6000 year old earth" kind of theories which, I know to be wrong (read any scientific book on Cosmology), but was pressured to accept. They also kept you on a thin line between maintaining and losing salvation, so you were constantly worried about ending up in the lake of fire. I had to leave this place as it was using this fear to control their followers. Internally, this set up a strong repulsive (defensive) barrier for those trying to lure me into any kind of religious organization (this still persists), although churches want to tear down this barrier. Inner turmoil over this lasted for decades, and I finally had sort out what parts of Christianity were good teachings, and which ones were corrupt teachings (with corrupt I mean that someone created a belief or fear that they try to force on others to manipulate for their own benefit). I also have issues with the current corrupt political systems, that force you to work so you can feed in part of your paycheck to it, allowing it to continue to go on. Then it devalues any savings by inflation, money printing, to ensure you can never break free from it. Almost seems like a beast that keeps people chained to itself to prevent them from reaching their true potential. Quite a horrible disposition.

Its nothing more than a name for one milion different ideas. So, I was never christian, and I never left it. But, the ideas of Jesus concerning moral standards, are in my heart for ever. Because those ideas were with me from birth and recogniceable as general truth. For all mankind. I think that the word of the gospel in Matth....

You are right, Christianity has twisted the true message of Christ and has made the world insane. I was one of them. Awaking from the religious matrix is mind-blowing and incredibly freeing. I am now more aware of the "Father/God/Source/Eternal consciousness etc.) being at one with me but without the religious baggage. The true spiritual journey starts outside of religion, not within it. By the way, I do see CLEARLY that you have and feel the true "Holy Spirit" in/as you. I see "the fruits of the spirit" in you, I see how it is changing you. It's what's driving you to do the work you're doing. It's the LOVE & desire you have to help free people and change the world for the better. In fact, you feel and have it more than others I have seen. You will continue to do even greater work for the good of all! May you grow in freedom, light, and LOVE my brother! Peace

Funnily enough my experience with religion wasn't awful. I was raised Catholic and attended a Nun School for most of my life, but contrary to the norm, they were very lax, accepting, open-minded and well intentioned. I truly believe most of them truly had a calling and it showed through their kindness... But after a few years and after seeing humanity for myself and learning about as much as I could in different topics (history, filosophy, art, religion, etc.) I "fell out of love" with Christianity and Institutional Religions at large. I consider myself agnostic at the moment and I try learning as much of other religions as possible, but in an academical way. It is my opinion that people should have something to believe in, anything, it doesn't matter what od you pray to as long as you have something to look up to and makes you strive to be a better person; after all, a life without direction is very hollow and meaningless, in a way. And when I talk about belief I mean ANY belief, science, ethics, religions, filosophy, whatever. One should find what one can use to be better and look up to. But one should be weary of the fine line that separates a belief serving you... and you serving a belief; because then it becomes zealotey and dogma.

Thank you. Have you explored the workings of Jonathan and Matthieu Pageau? They are Christian but focus a lot on symbology. They are pretty great.

[@angelofhope7778]

I was a Christian for 30 years, I went thru a phase of hideous fundamentalism. Im permanently damaged mentally as a result. Deconstruction and deconverting was a painful experience but I am better for it.

[@lyrastar999]

another good lecture and i am glad that you believe in having an open mind. not because i'm religious, i'm not but because i think there are miracles on this earth and its always mind blowing when it happens. today however, is a day of sorrow, i had to put to sleep my beloved kitty Quimby. So sad. i;m not necessarily talking about religious miracles either.

[@gabrielebartkute7359]

Bruh... I feel you soo much. I have Catholic upbringing and, ngl, it traumatized me, too. As much as it hurts my psyche, I do perceive good things that came from my religion. I mean, my moral values are quite stable - that's because in my childhood I felt confident for naturally wanting to be soft, modest, and chaste goody-two-shoes person. I still believe in God, I just think that he's grey, imperfect, that he can also do mistakes, be angry, be sad, just like us. Your opinion about Jesus, that he wanted to show that every human can be divine too, is soo ambiguous... I'm sticking to my own interpretation, that Jesus just wanted to lead by his own example of how to be a genuinely compassionate and merciful person. That empathy, love, acceptance is the right way. Truly, Jesus was a nicest and chillest dude in the world, that's it. If everyone is similar to him, whether for being religious or having a high emotional intelligence, then that person is near to God. The problem is that being a good person is not that simple in this cruel world, so everyone must find their own way of how to reach it. Ofc, my way is studying psychology - that's how I can explain myself why I do wrong things and what should I do about it.

Merry Christmas, I dont have à problem with Christianity, it works quite well for me personally, but Im pretty much à solitary Christian, I dont associate with many people.

[@nicolaobrien1632]

I was raised catholic and it totaly broke my heart when i learned the truth. My whole life i was lied to 😢. Thank you for your content ❤❤❤

[@ChristianAnimator]

What was the truth ??? Maybe I can clarify them for you

[@MartinMeshia]

You're still being lied to.

[@AL-kn4yx]

Yeah, like you really know the truth now. Sounds to me like it were the very lies you think are the truth, that pulled you out of the truth of Catholicism.

[@user-vj9oz7fx2e]

I've read the Bible hundreds of times. I had a "born again" experience at 17. I realized when I was around 50 that it is quite easy to be far more moral than the evil God of the Bible!

[@christianchaidez]

I've been watching many of your videos and for some reason i felt terrified. And had nightmares two nights in a row :') in another video you said Yahweh isn't God and i looked deeper into it and it somehow made sense but i started feeling opressed.. like literally going into a nervous breakdown. Why?

[@makefor3048]

you are told by the people around you, brainwashed that's its either Jesus or something totally terrifying that you are believing in or praying to something like a very ugly monster who is waiting for your blood in hell.

[@tatjanasiljeg2429]

You are not an ordinary human... You are a Master... Very powerful... And, by the way, very handsome one... I wish to know which one...😊

[@ProJMFPWT14]

I really appreciate you opening up about this. Many of us are recovering from religious trauma and abuse, but after a person educates themselves a bit, its hard "not" to see Christianity for what it is. I've had similar experiences as you growing up and deconstructing from it all has been quite the process. I highly recommend buddhist teachings to aid in the process. Christianity fails to give a sense of self worth, not to mention any degree of self knowledge. It reduces a person to a fear driven narcissist who somehow finds begging synonymous with prayer. The God of the Bible never seemed like an enlightened, kind, loving (or even emotionally mature diety) at all. It's the oldest form of fear based mind control I can think of. A how to guide on how to reduce a divine being into an obedient slave.

[@mtbiker4life918]

Once I realized how stupid, timid, and dependent God made us that's when things shifted for me. I did an experiment of not praying or reading the Bible yet putting in all my efforts to get ahead of my finances and goals. Turns out better things happened to me when I stopped. One of my Baptist friends kept saying when I talked about my accomplishments " glory to God hw is so good ". I'm thinking...wait...I did all the work lol. The less problems I had the more we had less in common because he still God's sheep with constant depressing conversations . He became toxic I had to block him. I just tell my Christian friends to be careful and I'm always there if they have doubts or concerns..

[@karen-rg6ss]

I am Catholic baptised and had my full education in Catholic schools, so I feel offended when I hear people attack the Catholic religion to 'defend' their own religious (or anti-religious) standpoint/church. I like Catholicism because of the RICH culture - the music, the paintings, the Latin that gives everything a sacred vibe. I think that they have changed history several times to keep the idea of having a designed future, but the 60% average (between the 20% upper and the 20% lowest) is still the majority. I worked on a model that has more flexibility to understand the normal, but therefore not the mainstream trends and called it *the ka-ba-la:* ka = female & spiritual, the Teacher, Source => Consciousness ba = male & material, the Master, God => Identity la = body (~ ba) & nobody (~ ka), the Student, Ego (an external ego ~ ba + an internal ego ~ ka) => Facade (ba) & Worth (ka) If one would use the image of a house to describe the 'levels', ka is the attic, ba is the basement (foundation) and la is everything in between. In Duch (my mother tongue), we speak about a 'boven' (above) bewustzijn and an 'onder' (below) bewustzijn. God is the Master of masters or the King of kings => that proves that He is part of the ba instead of the ka. I wrote in my manuscript (Words are like water, they can take any form ...) that man has the power to maintain a certain situation, but the women have the strength to CHANGE what serves us no longer. Knowledge is only real when shared and every attempt to keep knowledge hidden ended in a catastrophe. Nobody can teach you a lesson, but within each lesson lies the price to learn ...

[@seanbigga37]

I guess I will be a part of those comments made in the past. I’m glad you did this video and it shows a lot just because you so cool study scriptures and grew up in a so-called Christian home. There’s not make you a Christian and does not mean that you understand or understood what you was reading. And a lot of by what you said today actually shows that you definitely did not at all. No disrespect intended. whatever organization that you might been involved in, that might have shook on the label as Christie does not make it so many claim to come in his name. But at any time I will be willing to go over our view and eliminate misunderstandings of the scriptures.

i quit Xtianity for the first time after learning of inconsistencies in the NewTestament since i was a Bible reading Church going believer and the Torah made me so sad for all those slaves who were begging to go back to slavery for having to live in the desert with no food or water😿it was very difficult for me to read and at times i had to stop just to get thru it

[@CheKelley]

but i gave the Trinity another chance to show me personally what they are made of

I'm so glad my dad saved me from all of that and thank you for sharing your story with us it was sad yet relatable ❤

[@Firebreathingdove]

Thank you I am hurt from doing tarot readings to being told it was bad, to be confused about my intuition and how that can be wrong, so much trauma from investigating evangelical extremism Christianity. I felt so disempowered and sad and scared and traumatized in a constant state of fear, anxiety, and depression and I am still going through it. I hope God is a Loving God and Jesus too. I definitely am struggling though RTS right now. I do believe in prayers. I just don’t want anyone to be sent to that place called hell. Not me or anyone I love. I believe in God and Jesus but I invesitugating so much and came to the conclusion that I didn’t agree with a lot of what they said so my fate was set. I prefer to be a loving and accepting person. I was hoping that the evil things were written by men and not by God. I l ow exorcists are real and evil is real which is why I turned to evangelical Christianity hoping for God’s protection. The more I studied that religion the more trauma accrued way worse than the initial trauma of simply leaving the Tatum community because I developed feelings and a a romantic situationship with a tarot reading KZbinr on here who broke my heart and shattered my faith. That was the start of my spiritual crisis. One began as comfort in Jesus escalated into constant torment being fearful I was going to hell for believing in and entertaining psychics, and also being in myself to a certain degree. I also love and support gay people. I also don’t like the disempowering sexism of the extremism evangelical religion. It is utterly confusing and harmful and I believe that is causes a lot of people to experience such extreme trauma and obsession, and even worse self harm and the other s word. I am confused. I thought when I was little Jesus! Truth was simply to love and forgive unconditionally and try to do better each day. Not that we deserved hell simply for being sinners by birth until his bodily sacrifice. I am scared. Confused and trying to maintain my Faith while also keeping my sanity. I would appreciate more videos like this and of course prayers. I am a believer but I think that most if what is written in the Word of God which I do believe has a lot of reverence and power was actually distorted by men of power and influence. I am looking more and more for supporting evidence based on my suspicion of this. I just want to be happy Carol Ann again. The one that loves everybody and isn’t afraid of Hell. The one that trusts benevolent f psychic mediums again who actually connect with deceased loved ones through their God given gifts and nothing evil or scary or satanic.

I was 45 when I started to learn about the brainwashing of the christian church when I started to leave the church. It's been 16 years of trying to heal the RTS that I've been through, of learning about raising the vibration of my consciousness, etc. But also my kids have RTS but thankfully they left the church still in their teens so have a lot less RTS. My father was a minister of the church so yes we read the bible at least 3 times a day and prayed a minimum of 5 times a day but there was the pray without ceasing. There were the camps, the wednesday evening prayer meetings, the services 2 or 3 times every sunday. and the list continues. I so related to what you talked about. I am so thankful for your videos. You say things so incredibly clearly and bring up topics that have been a struggle in my life. Yes, I went from the church full on into the New Age way of thinking. I have since balanced out with learning about buddhism, Hinduism and other religions to find the snippets of truth hidden in all religion and to come to a similar place as you. Thank you again for your teachings. Nia (I can't afford to join your Patrion but I would if I could. I'm on disability so funds are scarce. But I will continue to listen to what I am able to!)

Would it be possible to ask your name fella I want to bear out some of my perspective of religion and remembered your previous addressing a comment but could not rememeber the channel name now I've found it I'd like to not call you mourge or morgul were I able to just say he's Chris. I'll say Chris till then.

Dude that's awesome I just got a weird email I wanted to gloss over cause it's not but junk but fully ready with clues and it says it's from chris648 which for me just continues to show we get better guidance for any respect we attempt to express while juggling with knives. Cause sir sir these aren't random facts they are knives some of them are sentimental charged items of other people's and very few things are just things if you start to go on this journey the one that begins with that dark night of soul.

Anything that tried to control you through the use of fear tactics for example burning for eternity in Hell or not having eternal life...well right there you can see the energy of this is Fear not Love...I think just about everyone you ask would agree that God is Love no matter what they call their God so why is it so hard for them to understand that the energy of Love doesn't operate in the frequency of Fear???????

[@husky3601]

You should do a video showing how all the prophecies of the bible never came to pass like you said. The bible does say if a prophecy does not come to pass then the one who proclaimed it is a false prophet. Once you clearly show that they never happened then the bible will condemn itself.

Bro I am so sorry that Christianity caused you so much harm. I am a Christian and I assure you that at times I felt your pain during this video and it moved me honestly. I luckily live and growed up in a situation very different than yours and one of the reasons I am Christian in fact is that the people around me where really empathetic and caring which is something important no matter your faith (more than any "intellectual" reasons to believe honestly, which I have just like you nonetheless). I hope God will bless you and your family even if you don't believe.

The Christian walk is not an easy walk, but there is no room to quit because what do you expect, its eternity with God as a child of God. There is no greater blessing than that. 80 years is not a long time compared to eternity, that is why God makes things hard for His believers because to test a 80 year old for billions of years, that has got to be tough to stay persistent and consistent. Do not hate God for it but embrace it because faith is beautiful when its done prop3erly and the mind is focused on God. Its the only way we can be suited for eternity. God can change our circumstances and "manipulate" the surroundings but He cant make someone focused on Him. If he could everyone would be Christian.
