    Kristi, I hope you continue to make progress with your PTSD. I am a former Southern Baptist pastor, grad of Southern Seminary, left the denomination 2 years after MDiv graduation, transitioned to UMC and then Episcopal Church. After DMin work and post doc work at an Episcopal Seminary, I reached the same conclusions about Christianity that you have. Seeing your latest video, I could not agree with you more on the slide into a turn to false doctrine and apostasy. The Church as it stands today, could not be further from the teachings of Jesus, whom they adore as a god and use to further empower the patriarchy and grow in their racism, misogyny and abuse of “the least of these.” I hope your health and mental outlook allows you to continue to share your message. Be Strong!

      ​@@BenSolomonIM : You asked, _"Do you have evidence for your claim?"_ Evidence for the fact that God exists? Yes. My faith is my evidence. The Bible says in the book of Hebrews, in chapter 11, verse 1, *_"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."_* That means my faith is substantive and is evidence of invisible things. There are a variety of things that are unseen including God, the angels, and demons.
      My faith in God is a gift from God himself. In fact, I don't think any person can believe in God unless God himself has given them the grace and faith to believe in him. God is sort of a mystery, and the only way to know the truth is if God gives you the truth. Jesus Christ is absolute truth.
      When it comes to other religions, some of them also believe in what they don't see, but it is not God whom they believe. The devil is a liar.
      Anyway, I hope this answer helps. I'm a former atheist and now a Christian. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is risen. Have a blessed day.

    Dear Kristi,
    So glad you're back and getting better.
    Your health always come first - so if you need to stand back from the endless line of angry religious nuts, please do.
    There is indeed no hate like christian love.
    Kind regards :)

Being unable to control the volume and speed of my voice, sharing things that were deemed inappropriate without realizing it, never having the motivation to study my Bible and blaming myself for it, emotional outbursts, extreme highs and lows based on how close to god I felt that day, and how all of these things caused me to truly hate myself and blame myself for so many years. It all makes sense now and I'm so much more free even just knowing there is a name for how I've always felt and been. And the Meds help too haha

    2. Religious trauma is notoriously under-mentioned by society, I think mainly because a lot of atheists suffer in silence, while talking about it openly to others may worsen past traumatic experiences. Anyone showing vulnerability in the face of past trauma is a sign of strength, not weakness.

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I'm a 72yo man who watches you "religiously" and really appreciates the honesty. Like you, I tried so hard to believe the unbelievable, then through reading the actual Bible from cover to cover realized how absurd it was. The God depicted in the Old Testament was a psychopathic predator who tortured his most faithful adherents. The New Testament tried to reinvent this deity without success. Religion is failing on every level, and credulity is killing humanity. "To empathize with a psychopath is to negate the self," per the series "Mindhunters." The psychosis gripping our country right now needs wonderful young people like you to save those of us who want to preserve some form of sanity. If you decide to retire from the public spotlight for the sake of your mental health, please do so without regret. More will be revealed. Gratitude is its own reward.

      "The God depicted in the Old Testament was a psychopathic predator who tortured his most faithful adherents." - no kidding! Take the case of Uzzah in 2 Samuel Chapter 6 verses 6-7: all Uzzah did was touch the Ark of the Covenant when he was involved in carrying it. The Ark was tipping over, so Uzzah did the right thing - he kept the Ark from tipping over, and God immediately chose to "smite" Uzzah! 😲What was Uzzah - or anybody helping to transport the Ark - supposed to do? Just let it tip over and fall to the ground? I mean SERIOUSLY god - WTF? What a total "Richard" god is. "God is slow to anger" (Psalm 103 verse 8) yeah right! 🙄
