[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a liberal Episcopal but even I roll my eyes at these deconstructionists.  It feels like they’re just trying to play up to an audience.  And they all sound the exact same!  We get it, you were embarrassed remembering your fundy youth camp and purity ring.  My God, we get it.[/quote]

A phase many people have "deconstructed" privately, long before their late 40's, without feeling the need to "instruct" everyone else.  I also roll my eyes at the way they didn't question the narrative, because it was working for their image, their lives, while ignorning the people who were suffering from not being able to fit into the framework, preaching it right up until life smacks them in the face, then all the sudden, they are "deconstructing".  Like this would have been a lot more impressive if you had done this when you were 30.  [/quote]

Oh my gosh, this is it. Every time I hear about someone deconstructing and it started in 2016, I think, why weren't you doing this when you were 19 as is developmentally appropriate? That's when you're supposed to kick the tires and figure out if the faith you inherited is really your own. And you're probably a little obnoxious about it at 19 because that's basically the definition of being 19, but everyone gives you a pass because you're going through an essential spiritual and developmental stage. At 40, I just wonder what's wrong with you and if you could please do it quietly and privately. [/quote]

Agreed. People who who are doing this stuff past their 20s are most likely followers who are latching onto asocial trend and falsely believing they will find "liberation" by doing so.[/quote]
