  They are really talking about echo chambers online when they want to change a word so Christians don't have to even think about non Christians xD

  The fact that critically investigating your beliefs is such a threat to these people is really telling.

  I’m fine with replacing “deconstructing” with a phrase that better reflects what’s going on. How about “deprogramming?” “Unbrainwashing?”

  If your faith can't withstand scrutiny, then you shouldn't build your life upon it.

  I found the best gem at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi3ntwAc8lc&amp;t=2900">48:20</a>: She said &quot;When your precious teenager calls you and says &apos;I am deconstructing, my youth pastor was abusive to me...&apos;&quot; The next thing out of her mouth should have been that something has to be done about that abusive youth pastor, but she had only her warfare against deconstruction in her mind.

  I worked for a Christian nonprofit that has a radio show/podcast, and Alisa Childers came on as a guest to talk about deconstruction. I was secretly deconstructing at the time, and was so taken aback by the calloused way she described why and how people deconstruct their faith. I was sat in the background of that Zoom call feeling like a worthless, God-hating piece of trash all because I wanted to leave Evangelicalism. I left that nonprofit shortly after, and am still healing from hateful and harmful theology they uphold to this day. <br><br>Love your guys&apos; content, keep it up!

  Hearing these people refer to evangelicalism as &quot;classical Christianity&quot; should piss off anybody who knows anything about church history. It might be the most infuriating thing about this video to me. If you went to any Christian even five hundred years ago and showed them an American evangelical church they would not recognize it and they probably wouldn&apos;t even acknowledge it as &quot;true Christianity.&quot;

  &quot;Don&apos;t say you&apos;re deconstructing. Deconstruction has no assumed conclusion. Say you&apos;re reforming so people know there&apos;s a limit to what you&apos;re willing to reevaluate.&quot;

  I love how they say this is where kids are then proceed to say Millennials like the youngest millennials aren&apos;t 28 years old at this point.

  My christian faith was the most important thing to me and I took my religion very seriously. Its wrong of them deny our faith as having not been real. I didnt deconstruct and become an atheist because I wanted to, I did so because I wanted to know the truth. It was so painful and confsing, and I spent a year suffering that. But it lead me here. Free of mind and happier than Ive ever been,
