My Journey

I became a born-again Christian in 2014. I had a fundamentalist, literal view of the scriptures. But in 2023, I started questioning my faith. For me, it was all or nothing. Either the Bible had errors, or it didn't. Either Jesus is who he says he was, or he isn't. I knew my questions were going to remain unresolved for a while, so I began to write them down. After a while, my document was pages long. My questions started about "insignificant" issues:

• "Does Paul really mean all men will be justified in Romans 5:18?
• Is the mustard seed really the smallest of all seeds, like Jesus says in Mark 4:31?
• Why does Mark 1:2 quote Malachi and Isaiah when he says, "as it is written in Isaiah the prophet"?

The scope of my questions became broader:

• Can the Bible have errors and still be infallible in its message?
• Why do Jews and Muslims reject the deity of Jesus when it seems plainly obvious?
• Can God use myths, legends, and stories to communicate his message?

Finally, my questions became faith-shaking:

• Why does an omnipotent and omnibenevolent God allow suffering?
• Why did God create the universe if he did not need to?
• Why would God create scientific evidence that appears to be at odds with the Bible?
• Is my belief in eternal conscious torment (hell) that lasts longer than a googolplex (10^{10,000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000,​000,000,000}) years reasonable?

I realized that there was solid evidence against my faith, and I couldn't ignore it anymore. That's why this website exists. It's a collection of faith-shaking data I have found against the Christian worldview. I'm not sure what to call myself anymore: a hopeful Christian, deist, agnostic, or athiest. Regardless of my affiliation, I hope you find the information on this website challenging and informative.

Disclaimer: I relied heavily on AI to create this website, both for compiling evidence and for actually building the webpages. I know the basics of HTML/CSS, but this website wouldn't exist without neural networks. Fact-check everything you see. There is always a possibility that evidence is incorrect or misrepresented. Again, just do your own research. Thanks for reading.
