Why I Left Christianity- An Essay
In all actuality it began in late June 2019, when at a church camp I had come craving for some great spiritual awakening or change in my life, only to be gently persecuted for the metal that I was listening to and walk away from that week having gained nothing. Then, I was forced to return to the world with my sexist, homophobic, conservative, youthpastor shoving his ideologies down my throat. ...
The First Time I Went Swimming

When I first came to hear of the term Godhead, I thought there must be a typo. I was intrigued to find that there was terminology that describes God the creator and divinity. Godhead is the origin of all things that are beyond God. God is referred to as the conceived creator. Now God and the Godhead are as unmistakable as heaven and earth. The soul is no longer the son it is now the father, a...
