"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....

Life is not really life!
It was called 'John Safran vs God' and it was on Australian SBS TV. The whole series is actually available on DVD.
He basically went around the world 'trying out' all different religions, doing stunts like this.
One other memorable one was when he (an atheist Jew) visited a Ku Klux Klan HQ and spoke with the Grand Dragon there.
He went on to tell him that Hitler was less Aryan than himself.
I was surprised that he wasn't lynched on the spot.
Actually I found it on Youtube. There's a whole bunch under 'John Safran'.
I believe religious parents are more likely to inflict pain upon their clildren ( due to that damnable book, the Holy Bible), but often the pain is inflicted in the womb, through mal-birthing practices (prevelent in the USA), and early childhood. But pain leading to ideational act outs can be caused at any time. Anyone wanting to understand current events, history and their own history, must read "Primal Healing" Look up Janov on the web.
Once people have been opened up to their pain, they are vulnerable to manipulation.
Perhaps understanding that point is a key to understanding how religion manages to gets its hooks into the psyches of so many people.
