Mickey - The same with me. I have been in the process of deconstructing the Christian faith that I once had for a few years now. I would say that, first and foremost, I consider myself to be a humanist. I desire the well-being of my fellow human beings and that they might experience the least amount of suffering while they are here on this earth. As far as a god/gods is concerned, at this point I am agnostic. There may be a god/s, but I don't think there is a preponderance of evidence to convince me at this point. That could change of course. For now I am inclined to say I just don't know.

91. Allah has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to Allah, far beyond what they describe. 92. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. 93. Say, “My Lord, if You would show me what they are promised. 94. My Lord, do not place me among the wicked people.” 95. We are surely Able to show you what We promise them. 96. Repel evil by what is better. We are aware of what they describe. 97. And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge with You from the urgings of the devils. 98. And I seek refuge with You, my Lord, lest they become present.” 99. Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, “My Lord, send me back. 100. That I may do right in what I have neglected.” By no means! It is just a word that he utters. And behind them is a barrier, until the Day they are resurrected. 101. When the Horn is blown, no relations between them will exist on that Day, and they will not ask after one another. 102. Those whose scales are heavy-those are the successful. 103. But those whose scales are light-those are they who have lost their souls; in Hell they will dwell forever. 104. The Fire lashes their faces, and therein they grimace. 105. “Were not My revelations recited to you, and you kept on rejecting them?” 106. They will say, “Our Lord, our wretchedness prevailed over us, and we were a people astray. 107. Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If we ever returned, we would truly be evil.” 108. He will say, “Be despised therein, and do not speak to Me. 109. There was a group of My servants who would say, `Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us, and have mercy on us; You are the Best of the merciful.' 110. But you made them a target of ridicule, until they made you forget My remembrance; and you used to laugh at them. 111. Today, I have rewarded them for their endurance. They are the ones who are the triumphant.” 112. He will say, “How many years did you remain on earth?” 113. They will say, “We remained a day, or part of a day; but ask those who keep count.” 114. He will say, “You remained only for a little while, if you only knew. 115. Did you think that We created you in vain, and that to Us you will not be returned?” 116. So Exalted is Allah, the Ruler, the Real. There is no god except He, the Lord of the Noble Throne. 117. Whoever invokes another god besides Allah-he has no proof thereof-his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers will not succeed.

Something I learned, when I became an atheist after my first church, I learned that this brought me closer to God than when I was in that church because it was all about meeting God's standards of faithfulness to be accepted. I returned to Christianity after learning repentance has nothing to do with being accepted by God, and this led me to learning it's all about love. But understanding what exactly love is, is very very challenging for me. I became a rescuer in a relationship in high school that resulted in my ex committing suicide; what I thought was love and care was not love at all. I believe God is teaching us all to love, and that even those who leave the faith will be taught in God's patience.

Negative energy would cause our body to not function efficiently. Our thoughts, attitudes and the attitudes of those around us ABSOLUTELY have a profound impact on our mental state! That in turn controls every aspect of our lives... our bodies, our relationships, the very way we think. Its incredible, more miraculous than walking on water!! 😁...

Thanks for a good laugh, Jennie! I love your comment! As for the energy regarding food, I think it is BOTH. Certainly the good or the negative vibrations involved in the preparation of the food and the atmosphere in which it is eaten affect our body's ability to digest it properly. But also, the nutrient make-up of the food itself has various levels of vibrations as well. I choose foods with higher vibrations. Junk foods, or processed foods, have lower vibrations. Hope that helps.

Scriptures describe love…is kind, patient etc. At the time of the crucifixion, Jesus had grown in popularity and his miracles of healing sure turned many a head. The establishment was already in place and Caesar and the gang had MUCH to lose because of Jesus. God sent Pilate’s wife a dream, that caused her terror. She shared this dream with Pilate stating Jesus was innocent and NOT to support the crucifixion. Pilate tried and made many attempts to have Jesus spared, but they wouldn’t have it. A murderer was released and an innocent man was belittled, degraded, humiliated, tortured and hung until death. I’m sorry, LOVE DID NOT do that. This has been part of the deception. The same EVIL from 2000 years ago controlled people using fear and the people funded the establishment and continue to do so. The TRUTH is coming out and the evil that has robbed the masses of peace, security and finances is being exposed. Scripture tells us many will leave their faith. This breaks my heart. I’m glad I have dismissed religion, but not Christ. Honestly, it’s been several years of de programming. I have never had more love or respect for another human as I do for Jesus. Until I take my last breath, I will follow his teachings and strive to follow his example. I’ll NEVER match Jesus example tho, and as long as I do my best, I’m happy, at peace and free from the fear.

@@cadia5127 Hey, Cadia: I'm glad that you know and love Jesus. I don't believe that it really matters that you've backed away from established religion. However, the apostles believed it would be helpful to the new Christian faith if believers gathered together when possible and be supportive of one another. That's all that a basic church really is. I do believe your are incorrect when you wrote the following: "A murderer was released and an innocent man was belittled, degraded, humiliated, tortured and hung until death. I’m sorry, LOVE DID NOT do that. This has been part of the deception." Jesus said this would happen and He said this was why He was born into the world. Jesus died in our place for our sins. He took on the sins of the world. Remember: Jesus said that greater love has no man than he who gives up his life for his friends. That is love. Jesus also said that no human could take His life; Jesus said He was laying His life down of His own accord. Take care.

As a former fundamentalist Christian I applaud your knowledge and courage to speak out about religion. Regarding NDE's however the out of body experiences (OBE's) that often accompany the NDE demonstrate that our consciousness does in fact survive physical death. Many of these OBE's are corroborated by others. I've studied this for nearly 30 years and the overall evidence is compelling and irrefutable. I have investigated too many of these to deny this reality even if we can't prove it scientifically yet. The OBE is key to understanding and accepting the validity of the NDE. I am as certain of this as we both are about Christianity and both of my certainties are based on solid research, reason and logic. Thank you for sharing your story with us ❤️ EDIT: After listening to the entire video I have to add that your presentation here is absolutely brilliant and well thought out. You have amazing reasoning skills and tremendous wisdom. Much respect Jen 👍

Speaking of going to doctors why do you go to a doctor or hospitals for treatment when ill? You are delaying your progress to being with God. That is not right, according to your beliefs. And if you are a "believer" because what happens if there is a hell, then you are only believing due to fear. I have no fear of death. My only fear is not having truly lived.

If you and they, truly believe it is fiction, can you please group up with them, and use your lives, money, retirement funds, together with your current beliefs and study, to contact the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, all the 'terrorist' organizations, Mossad, etc and insist that they stop the fighting and the killings also the evictions and imprisonments 'because they believe in fictional stories and characters' and are committing atrocities due to believing that fiction or fake news to be true? Since it is also now an atrocity for you and others to be claiming to have found or to know the Truth, but all you can do is make videos on KZread and show acknowledgement those who agree with you, with a thank you, but no planning together to even go out to those countries to stop what the 'fake books/news/characters' is being used to do there. That would be love for everyone. Can you please also contact all governments who currently allow funding to go out of their countries by Jews/Muslims/Christians living in their countries, to the middle east. Require those governments to immediately bar this practice as it is pillaging the poor from those countries to fund wars in the middle east and or to fund projects to build the third temple etc. Also please can you find a team to go out to all churches and stop the spread of the prosperity gospel which is also looting the poor of the other nations.

How can anybody claim to know what’s true when they just believe what they believe because it makes them comfortable to believe in something that they can’t prove. If anyone had proof they would just present the evidence. Here’s a simple thought experiment. God can be all-knowing or all powerful but not both their mutually exclusive. If God is all knowing then he cannot make any changes because if he did it would mean that he didn’t know. If God can’t make changes then God can’t be all powerful. If God is perfect God cannot be more perfect because that would mean that he wasn’t perfect in the first place.

@WOMEN SAFETY My question was, why does Jen have no such force already. Powerful claims but lacking an actual powerful force or passion, for good. Before you offered to translate Jen's video, why did you not question Jen about not having such a force yet, or state what you are apart of and ask Jen to join it, to test the depth of her beliefs?

I want to thank you for your videos, from the bottom of my heart. I listened to your first video on this topic, just last night, and it validated me deeply. I grew up in the New Age, Judaism and Spiritualism. I was exposed to all sorts of philosophies from the far East to metaphysics, to Catholicism (I went to Catholic school for six years just for an improved education, not for religious reasons). So, I’ve been exposed to quite a lot. From the time I was a very young girl, I felt I had a relationship to God, which to me, was simply an energy, a force. I talked to God frequently. I didn’t believe in hell, Jesus, or anything Christian; because it didn’t make sense to me. As I continued growing up and into my adulthood, I just adhered to the idea that Love was to be my only concern when it came to my spirituality. To me, Love is the force of God and it is the essence of every act an expression of good, of righteousness, of integrity, and so forth. I explored Christianity seriously for a few years and recently arrived at a place where I realized it just wasn’t resonating entirely and that I didn’t want to be a part of the community. I was feeling torn.. not sure if perhaps some old “demons” were keeping me from it or if good sense and a deep wisdom was telling me something. I asked God to help me find a place of conclusion and of peace with all this questioning of my beliefs. When I found your video, I was certain I found it. Your lifelong experience and knowledge is astounding!! I feel confident that I can rest and quiet my mind now and that I can finally leave my Christian exploration. I feel it was was worth looking into and the doubts I had, the feeling that something wasn’t right is now validated and I know it’s not because I prefer my comfort zone, because there’s a difference. We know when we know. I personally adhere to the principles of the 12-step programs (I am not an addict, but I love the program) and I simply choose to live from a heart-centered place with the knowledge that we actually don’t know anything, but that our only concern should be to love one another… anything beyond that must not be for us to know, otherwise we would. Anyway, thank you so much. I respect you and admire you for your content and your wisdom! ❤

But I am also going to allow others the same freedom to walk their own journey, even if it is an imaginary one.

So glad you did a follow up to your first leaving Christianity video. Excellent videos and discussions. I’ve been searching for “the truth” for quite a while. Most churches’ explanations remained unclear, so I studied with the JWs, because they claim to have “the truth” … they don’t. I’ve found myself questioning the Bible more and more, and wishing I knew Hebrew and Greek so that I really knew what the scriptures said. These two videos really resonated with me, because they line up with how I’ve been thinking and feeling for several years now. Looking forward to future videos. Keep teaching. Many thanks.

Consider, are there moral imperitives in life, or in the cosmos or universe etc. Would it always be wrong to murder someone, is stealing always wrong, is hurting other people always wrong, I mean, is there an unwritten moral code which may have nothing to do with religion and, could part of that moral code be with regard to sexuality and how we protect families and our children. ..my pet phrase " don't throw the baby out with the bathwater "

Your reactions and rebuttals are hysterically funny 🤣🤣. Very witty.

I have just 1 question for Jen. In March 1992, I was at a Bible study. We had a major snowstorm that day. I was upset about the weather being bad. I wanted Spring to arrive. An elderly gentleman there, who I never met before, didn't know a thing about me, suddenly looked at me and told me that God told him I was upset about the weather. I'm just curious "how" he could know that about me, a complete stranger I never met before. I didn't tell a soul at that Bible study that I was bummed about the weather. At this point in my life, I do have reserves about religion/Christianity. I just still wonder how people can know things about others who are complete strangers. They say it's God giving them a word of knowledge. Any thoughts......???

Would you please point me to some further reading on haplogroups and the singular maternal ancestor? Thank you

To quote my own comment in another deconversion video: 'As with so many of these videos, Christians will descend like vultures on the comments section to selfrighteously, condescendingly and pompously tell the deconverted why they fell away, without honestly assessing their deconversion story.'

Hi Roden! I may, but I'm so far past all that now! "Hasatan," or "the satan," simply means "the enemy" or "the adversary." If you used "enemy" or "adversary" in today's conversation, would you be talking about the same person, or group of people, every time you used that word? You might have a political "adversary," or we might consider North Korea to be our enemy, or maybe you even consider some news station to be "the enemy." So, it's all in context, right? Same thing in the Bible stories. This is that audience relevance I was speaking about. WHO is the subject in each passage? Is it a different entity? (Yes) Then it is simply an adjective and not a proper noun.

This exposition is an amazing common sense. Why have people not found out this truth for centuries. Since I watched Jeni last year, I feel very free now in my spirit Thanks Jeni.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! I can very much relate to this. I`m right there with you.

I appreciate this assessment.... From my perspective it holds a lot of truth. The only couple of “issues” I have is the 100% confidence that Jesus was mythical...... Even Josephus acknowledged that he existed and that there may have been something special about him. (Yes I am aware of the church messing with the historians work.... doesn’t change the fact that he described his existence)... Having studied many years I get where her conclusion comes from though.... Yet, there is, I believe within most who hear the “good news” is a big what if?? Why is this??? ( it’s about way more than a hell or sin issue).... There is something deeper going on with the theme of Jesus that stirs the spirit when heard by most... There is something to be said about that. Second, the food energy thing is ridiculous and exaggerated. Finally, I am quit familiar with the law of attraction.....There is a lot of truth in this as well but fails on many, many themes. The Holocaust is probably the best example. So, like an Esther Hicks to put ones faith in the force ALONE defies our very innate souls longing and knowing that we are meant and belong to a loving greater “ being”.... that has emotions, desires and will.... and no, it’s not just a force as evidenced by the creation and science. I don’t blame her or others though as religion, especially Christianity, has really screwed up the true nature of God. To be continued

Hi Scott! Thanks for your comment. I'm glad much of it resonated with you. It's OK if we disagree on a few details. Regarding Josephus on Jesus, the ONE instance where he talked about "Jesus" was obviously added later by someone else. You would think that if Jesus did exist, that Josephus would have written quite extensively about him, but he didn't. Have you read Richard Carrier's tome on this subject? It is quite exhaustive. I did not go into details in this video. It was an overview. I agree that the Law of Attraction has been greatly misused by many. I think that is because it is not truly understood. I find that it works MORE when we are not even aware of it. I might talk on that later. I don't find the need for faith at all anymore. I am fine with facts.

Thank you, Stephanie! I'm just now getting caught up with comments! Sorry about that. No, I have not listened to Bill Donahue.

Jesus was invented by the Catholic Church at the ecumenical councils of Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus and Chalcedon. Serapis was the prototype for the Jesus myth! These Catholic bishops actually voted Jesus into existence! I love and agree with your perspective!

Lots of courage this lady. Walk away from nonsense keep your life limited. Be free enjoy life as it comes. I can’t help I fill the same way.

Thank you for this video! I appreciate what you have to say. I grew up in a very religious family and now am a agnostic atheist because I don’t see a reason that there is any truth to any of it. Idea’s for dealing with highly religious family members would be appreciated.
