In talks about deconstructing faith, I thought it would be helpful to go back to the basics and, well, deconstruct. So what, exactly, is the nature of this “faith” that we are deconstructing? Some definitions you can find if you bothered: Now faith is being [...]
For nearly 15 years, I've been talking to men about their lives. I started to notice a pattern common to many, myself included: an eventual disillusionment with institutions, beliefs, subjects, or life itself after a season of zeal or passion. Religious zeal enters a deconstruction [...]
