A Difference…

What would the difference be if I had never committed to Christianity to the degree that I did? It's a question that I often come back to and reflect on. I think it's important to distinguish the Christian undercurrents that affected the West's development over the last two thousand years and my own personal commitments … Continue reading A Difference… →

Book Review: Heaven and Hell

I had heard a lot about Bart D. Ehrman before I picked this book up. As a Christian student at Bible College, here in the UK, I was advised very much against reading his work. It was said that because Mr Ehrman is an atheist, that this will have affected his judgement of the biblical … Continue reading Book Review: Heaven and Hell →

Could God…

Before I had let go of my religious conviction, when I realised it wasn't rooted in anything tangible, I always thought that people knew, deep down, that God was literally real. Rather than being honestly uncertain about His existence, they rather wanted to live their own way and didn't want anything to do with Him. … Continue reading Could God… →

Dragged into the fray

It's April 2020 as I write this. The UK has just been told we are about to enter into a further 3 weeks of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with an expectation that things will continue after that as well. Most people have found themselves with a little more time on their hands compared … Continue reading Dragged into the fray →

Book Review: The Madness of Crowds

There is something poetically thrilling about Douglas Murray. His way of explaining a situation with its caveats and nuance is brilliant and he draws the reader along explaining the messages and concepts that he is tackling clearly as he hits them one at a time. I can only imagine the amount of reading, thought and … Continue reading Book Review: The Madness of Crowds →

Book Review: God is Not Great

I've read this book before, but as I was saying a couple of weeks ago, I really wanted to listen through to this book as it was read to me by Christopher Hitchens himself. There is something about the way he talks and articulates his point that I find extremely engaging. His topic choices are … Continue reading Book Review: God is Not Great →

To Go Public Or Not?

I am tired of people not knowing what I believe or why I believe it. But why am I tired of this? Why do I keep being tempted to share my views and my beliefs with the world? I know that I share my views with you all on here, but you have found this … Continue reading To Go Public Or Not? →

A Letter to a Friend

I got a physical letter the other day. I spoke to a good friend and told them that I had deconstructed my faith. They had a really good conversation with me and following our chat they went away and read through my first ten or so blog posts. I wanted to share my response to … Continue reading A Letter to a Friend →

Book Review: The Portable Atheist

I have read a couple of books by Christopher Hitchens - God is Not Great & Mortality. I am currently re-reading God is Not Great, and you can expect a book review in the next couple of weeks. By 'reading' I actually mean 'listening' as I have read it before I thought it would be … Continue reading Book Review: The Portable Atheist →

We Already Sort Of Knew

I’ve hinted a few times now that I will no longer be hiding my deconversion. I won't actively share the podcast episodes with people pre-emptively, but I will defiantly share it with them if the right conversation takes place face to face. I had my parents over this weekend, they come over to see us … Continue reading We Already Sort Of Knew →

My goal is to honestly share my story in a way that makes people think about why they believe what they believe.
