Deconversion stories from Biblical Errancy

AN

Letter #798 from AN of Dallas, Oregon

Thank you for writing such a most needed book! I ordered your book through H. H. Waldo booksellers and it was definitely worth every penny. I am a former Pentecostal minister who has studied apologetics since I was 14 (now 27), but I found the grinding doubts, the anti-human teachings etc, to be too painful, and inherently evil. I'm just glad that I heard of your publication at an early age, so that I didn't inflict that poison on too many sincere people. I picked up my email address screen name, Job25:6, from your book. That's the verse where it calls the "son of man" a worm. I can't tell you how thankful I am for your Encyclopedia. As a former Pentecostal minister/intern trying to become a moralistic freethinker, your book has been pure Gold! Words cannot express it. Thank you. Your name will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the main heroes of a positive/moral humanism in much the same way as, if not surpassing, the greatness of Thomas Paine. I didn't know that your newsletter was still going, and I found out that you are (after 16 years) going to give it a rest. Well, understandable, but I want to thank you for having the courage to combat those crummy christian apologists, and for giving us regular good-natured humanists, some ammunition against their hellfire threats. You're appreciated. Thanks again.
