James: Deconversion Anonymous

Published: Jan. 11, 2021, 1:03 a.m.

b'This week\\u2019s show is a\\xa0Deconversion Anonymous\\xa0episode. My guest this week is James. James is a former missionary to Haiti who was a part of the Pentecostal and Charismatic traditions. James took his Christianity very seriously and was sensitive to God speaking in his life. Through a series of realizations and life difficulties, James began to doubt what he had been taught about God matched reality. Later, exploring psychology he realized the cognitive biases and connotative dissonance he had lived under. James describes himself as more \\u201cemotional.\\u201d His story is an important one representing the way Christianity can play on emotions and \\u201cworks\\u201d until real tragedy strikes.
