This sums up the whole exvangelical deconstruction thing. It's a bunch of people who think that because they rejected conservative evangelicalism they are now super cool and they want everyone to know how cool they are now, like a dorky kid who gets a cool outfit and then struts around acting all bad while everyone else is embarrassed for them.

The same people who were smug and judgy whilst still IN the church, and someone else was "deconstructing" due to a life event (discovering best friend/child/other person close in your life) is gay, or going through a divorce, or quietly deciding to have pre-marital sex, etc.

Evangelical Christian church was a fun place for a little club, and for people whose lives didn't fit that script, or had the balls to admit to themselves that a lot of the experiences of the "Holy Spirit" were highly manipulative, well they were on the outs.  Those people had to quietly "deconstruct" and leave, and many of them figured this all out by their mid 20s.

But now it is Jen's life the Christian "life script" doesn't fit anymore, and suddenly she is such a brilliant person for figuring out the fundemental flaws of fundementalism.  [/quote]
