Deconstruction is defined as a method of critical analysis of philosophical language emphasizing the internal workings of language and conceptual systems the quality of its meaning and the assumptions made in forms of its expression. I grew up entrenched in evangelical Christianity and there is A LOT to deconstruct.In general the intent of deconstruction is not to necessarily disprove or demolish it from existence. Rather it is a method of peeling back the layers both past and present in an attempt to understand it. However when you take something like Christianity you pull back a lot of layers that were conveniently glossed over when you were younger leaving you with a minefield of rabbit holes to jump down and explore.Oftentimes as has happened to so many others before me that means you emerge with a completely different view of religion that destroys the world you had seen as a child. It almost means starting over and re-evaluating your entire life depending on how deeply involved in it you were to begin with.I recently underwent that journey and I'm sharing it with you now in hopes that it helps you in some way.
