Escaping Religion: How PASTOR Alan Bondar QUIT Christianity for Good

Welcome to another powerful episode of MythVision Podcast! Today, I’m joined by former Christian pastor Alan Bondar, author of the provocative book "How to K*ll God the Easy Way." For over 40 years, Alan led a life devoted to Christianity—until one pivotal moment changed everything. As he took a hard look at his beliefs, he realized things simply weren’t adding up. After years of intense theological study, he uncovered deep conflicts within the churches and religious institutions that challenged everything he thought he knew.

In this gripping interview, Alan opens up about his dramatic journey from the pulpit to atheism. He reveals how deeply ingrained cultural brainwashing and trauma bonds can keep people "addicted" to God, and what it took for him to break free. We dive into his time as a pastor, his encounters with various Christian denominations, and the theological crises that ultimately led to his deconversion.

Alan also takes us through his exploration of preterism, the belief that all biblical prophecies have already been fulfilled, and how this realization became a turning point in his faith. Whether you're interested in theology, the complexities of deconstructing religious belief, or the psychology behind faith, this episode is a must-watch!
