I rejected the christ story around age 8. I told my mother that it seemed like a fairy tale. She got pretty upset.

I’m a history nerd, so maybe this won’t apply to you. But learning about the early stages of christianity has been a lot of fun for nearly two years. Who’d have thought, right?

If you enjoy reading and learning and you dislike the hold that religion has on society, you might enjoy learning about the earliest stages of the church. There’s so much material. The starter that I’ll recommend is The Passover Plot. I’ve become way more radical after this, but I think this might be a good bridge for readers who are beginning their exploration. Hope you enjoy!

    it’s really not just christians in america. Christians were removed from the basics of the faith pretty quickly. It’s why the second coming got slapped in there- all those unfullfilled messianic prophecies. Don’t worry, he’ll do the war-thing when he gets back. he just ran off for some milk.
