ExChristian.net

Over the last few weeks, I've been reading on a consistent basis the testimonies of people on this website called ExChristian.net. The description of this site is as follows:

"This site is designed with the intention of encouraging ex-Christians, former Christians, de-converting Christians and other non-believers in the decision to live life based on rational thought rather than religious mythology."

It's quite intriguing and enlightening to read firsthand some of these stories and viewpoints of those who discredit anything religion. It helps me get a more well rounded view of the peoples of this earth. Too often many churches stay within the confines of their building walls. It's a safe haven. It's important to go out to those that may not see things the way that we do. Christ did and it is our calling to emulate Him.

It's interesting that a lot of their arguments is against Christianity, God, and Jesus Christ. Often times all denominations of Christianity are lumped together. A lot of these individuals had a very unfortunate experience with radical conservatives. It's just interesting because it's simply aimed at Christianity rather than religion as a whole. I'm just wondering if there's an ExMuslim.net site out there or ExJehovahWitness.net. I guess that's why it's called ExChristian not ExReligion.

In any case, as I continue to read these articles and blog testimonies, whenver I come across one that is interesting, I will post a reply here on this website. I will link the testimony so that you can read what I'm replying to.

I suggest you take a look and browse the site. It has in no way made me question my faith. In fact, it's strengthened it even more. It helps in uncovering respective answers to questions about Christ and God. It simply builds my thirst and hunger for the Word. How can I answer these allegations and interpretations?

Stay tuned for the first of many reasons for the hope that I have in Christ.
