Send us a text Agnosticism, at its core, is not a denial of the divine, but rather an acknowledgment of the limits of human knowledge. It is the honest admission that we do not know, and perhaps cannot know, the ultimate nature of reality or the existence of God. For generations, the Black experience in America has been inextricably linked with faith, particularly Christianity. To question or step away from this deeply ingrained tradition can feel like a radical departure, a severing of ties,...

Send us a text There are a merit of factors of why people are leaving and saying F' Church. People are disillusioned with things like the inconsistencies between the church's teachings and the behaviors of its members/leaders. People feel judged, excluded, or made to feel unwelcome. Dogmatism and rigidness with teachings that are overly strict or inflexible, that often alienate individuals who seek a more open-minded or progressive approach to faith. Simply put the church's teachings and prac...
Send us a text As it relates to the human brain, the human body relative to sex and sexuality, the fundamentalist Christian framework towards sex and sexuality is most harmful. The framework is often counter to any clinical evidence based understanding with little to no awareness to how the body works as it relates to human physiology and sex. The framework and approach are often theologically flawed, even worse, counterintuitive to the human agency. Psychologically harming to the human...

Send us a text I found it to be psychologically harming to me and that of my human agency that the Christian God could only love me and recognize my human significance only in Jesus. In my fictitious conversation with Jesus, I gave him his life back and he welcomed it. He told me it was always mine and that my life was never his to take. That the space in my heart was always mines to be lord and master over. Jesus can be a utility and a tool but he should never be anything more!

But I am here to argue that it is normal and that it is okay to deconstruct Jesus.
