Deconversion stories from Biblical Errancy
AG
Letter #790 from AG of Bradenton, Florida
Dear Dennis. I am new to reading Biblical Errancy but it couldn't have come at a better time. I work for a devout born-again Christian, and am surrounded by the same kind of people as well as a few Mennonites and an Episcopalian, and I am constantly under attack for my beliefs. I am by origin catholic but also went through the born-again stage with the Assembly of God for 2 years. Since then I am back to being a catholic but with many different beliefs. Anyway I have spent many hours reading back issues of Biblical Errancy and none of the hours have been wasted. I am grateful for people like you who shorten our study time by showing fallacies only much research could uncover. I am one of the few believers in God who has read the bible from beginning to end, but I was totally amazed at how many errors I easily overlooked. I appreciate the ammunition you have given me, and the last few days at work I have shut-up the hypocrites. I was able to show them that their inspired scriptures are full of bla-tant errors to which none could give any answer except "I don't know" & "you tell me." Isn't it funny that the one who brings up the question can be discounted, since he doesn't have the answer. Anyway I got the ole "you just haven't felt the power and glory of Jesus" at the end of our discussion, which is the Christian's last desperate attempt to validate his false teachings. We usually have moral discussions but the last few days have been a burning of believers. It's amazing how brainwashed good people can get and then totally deny the obvious for fear of the unknown. Anyway I am sending my annual subscription this week and hope to get a few back issues as well. It will make good bathroom reading material in our office and hopefully open a few minds. Keep up the good work. Maybe you're our savior from the evil of stupidity and closed- mindedness.
