Finding Faith while Deconstructing Christianity: Why has Christianity failed us, What is Deconstructing, and How to Find Jesus
#deconstruction #socialscience #philosophyofchrist
Josh Brandon answers the question "why I left Christianity" while making the case for Christ by using the social sciences like psychology, philosophy, political science, and religious studies (theology) to get closer to the truth for a spiritual awakening by deconstructing Christian Nationalism through the lens of an ex-Christian who left the religion but kept Jesus.
OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING SERIES DESCRIPTION
Overthinking Everything is essentially about exploring the Origin of the Idea. Why do we think the things we think and believe the things we believe? Using the Social Studies – History, Geography, Civics, and Economics. These are the basic foundations of Political Science. In OE, it’s Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology and Anthropology. It’s art & literature, science and religion, and current events and conspiracy theories. Exploring our opinions and ideas through these lenses may seem daunting, but it's not as difficult to understand, once we unplug, detach, and step back from the issue. But it's a journey of discovery we'll go on together, Overthinking Everything!
In this first season, Deconstructing A Culture of Cultism, I'm exploring not only the Origin of Idea, but attempting to explain how easily we are led down the path to cultism. I'd like this series to be an exercise in perspective and training the brain to think critically.
In this 15th episode, "Finding Faith" I'm building on the overarching themes of the previous 4-Part series "Selling Our Souls" - the hypocrisies in our own opinions - to illustrate some of the key catalyst moments of awakening in my deconstruction journey. This episode is about how I only found Jesus when I lost Christianity and how through putting Jesus Christ's teachings on a shelf with Socrates, Plato, Sarte, Kant, DeCartes, and others and off the shelf with magical, angry, vengeful, and insecure sky wizards, fairy tales, and fear factors, STRENGTHENS His message and makes it palatable for ALL. My argument is that by stripping the supernatural out of spirituality, we separate our superstitions and solidify our souls with the sanctity and security of eternal salvation. As much as I adore alliteration aside, this isn't preachy. This is just stoicism, philosophy, and a new way of looking at things we only believe because someone else told us to.
This season will explore many topics beyond politics and history. I am simplifying a lot of very detailed and nuanced events, but it's time we examine some of what we know from slightly different angles - angles maybe we weren't taught in school. I am Deconstructing my own journey through politics, religion, social change, education, capitalism, and more. As someone who has crawled out of the Toxic White Southern Culture, I'm here to tell you it isn't easy, nor is it pretty. BUT, it IS Fascinating!
