HOW TO KILL gOD the easy way - Alan Bondar

Today I spoke with Alan Bondar, who grew up in a Christian environment, gave his life to Jesus at a young age, and became a pastor of his own church plant, but ultimately deconverted as the truth claims of Christianity fell apart.

We touched on many topics, including:

• As a child, developing a strong passion for the Bible and theology.
• Preaching at youth services and even a funeral at age 11.
• Getting intense Biblical education but noticing that many others at Bible college were not seriously committed to Jesus and to purity.
• Starting to question certain aspects of his faith but turning to Pastors and Christian counselors for help.
• Healing from a severe depression and then realizing that god was not really there one day while praying.
• After breaking the addiction of smoking, realizing that there were many parallels to escaping the addiction of a pretend god, as a void that you can never fill but feel compelled to try, wrapped in the context of the nonstop shame of repeatedly failing.
• Leaving any hopes of returning to ministry and the pastorate as he fully deconverted.
• Realizing that Christianity had stolen his identity but that humanism helped him recover it.
• Healing from the false worldview, lost time, and shame that the Christian worldview had inflicted on him.

Many thanks to Alan for sharing his story and insights!
