Why I Stopped Believing in Christianity

A Personal Reflection on Time, Expectation, and Interpretation

My decision to step away from Christianity at 12 wasn’t sudden, emotional, or reactionary. It developed over time through a careful examination of whether certain claims—especially those tied to specific timeframes—actually align with observable reality.

This is not an attack on Christians as people. Anyone who interprets it that way is, in my view, reacting defensively rather than engaging with the argument itself and betraying the insecurity they are trying to suppress in themselves.

My aim is not to provoke hostility,

It turns out another source also published similar conclusions I made as far back as 1998 that warlogan was a plural with an intended meaning of men of the laws. The laws in question being the torah. This source is titled German Literature Between Faiths and was published in 2004 by credentialed linguists and scholars. It has similar deductions backs my own conclusion the meaning of warlogan was simply lawmen.

The first part of my recognition of an error was seeing words were log and lag (cognates of one another) occur in several versions/examples. I will, however, take it much further than most scholars care to do and cite the proofs that are attested, albeit ignored.

They are as follows:

These come from lǫg (“law, laws”) — originally “things laid down [fixed]” and also lagą (“that which is laid down”). These forms are mutually influenced between Old Saxon and Old Norse as:

Principles of Non-Imposition Amid Historical Tensions

The First Church of Druwayu, incorporated in 2024 in Oregon City, Oregon, represents a contemporary New Religious Movement (NRM) known as Druwayu—meaning “True Ways,” derived from Gaulish and Middle Saxon linguistic roots. Founded by Raymond S. G. Foster, who holds the clerical title High Elder Warlock, Druwayu presents itself as a quadrotheistic religious system integrating theology, philosophy, and empirical inquiry.

Druwayu recognizes four primary divine persons—one God and three Goddesses—within a structured theological framework. This quadrotheism stands in formal doctrinal incompatibility with classical Christian monotheism. However, Druwayu’s incompatibility with Christianity at the level of metaphysics and theology does not extend to social hostility or coercive opposition.

Core Principle: Non-Imposition

Central to Druwayu’s identity is its doctrine of non-imposition. The church’s bylaws state that membership is entirely voluntary and that the religion shall neither be imposed upon others nor allow itself to be imposed upon.

Satan is an invention of Gnosticism

The designation of Satan as “the god of this world” is a Gnostic import in 2 Corinthians 4:4 and represents a theological concept that emerges directly from Gnostic cosmology. In Greek, Paul writes ho theos tou aionos, literally “the god of the age,” describing a being who exercises real authority over worldly systems, philosophies, and the spiritual blindness of those who reject the gospel.

This depiction is remarkable because, in pre-Christian Jewish literature, Satan functions only as an accuser or tester, a subordinate member of God’s divine council (see Job 1–2; Zechariah 3:1) without independent authority over creation. Paul’s elevation of Satan to a quasi-cosmic ruler mirrors the Gnostic Demiurge, the lower deity who rules the material cosmos while the true God remains transcendent.

INTRODUCTION

It must be made clear the purpose of this content is not to offend. It is to clarify conceptual foundations that are generally unknown, ignored or intentionally suppressed due to centuries of imposed fear, ignorance and the very real issues of emotional as well as psychological culture shock. While many will take this as some sort of personal attack, it isn't.

Much of what modern Christianity teaches about God as a three-person entity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is not part of the original Christian worldview. What did exist in early Christianity, and in its philosophical and mystical environment, was a triadic structure of being, which was later obscured and reshaped by institutional authorities and, in some interpretations, by esoteric thinkers.

Above all else, its a false claim there was only ONE kind of Christianity from the start. Such examples show there were parallel, and older schools of thought that…

A Logical Evaluation on Theological Christianity

In recent years, a provocative claim has circulated online: that it is possible to be both a Christian and a practicing witch or warlock. At first glance, this may appeal to those seeking a spiritual “hybrid” identity, and even before the internet there were some shows that hinted at the concept, often in passing, but a closer look at definitions, theology, folk customs and logic reveals that the claim is fundamentally inconsistent and frankly nonsensical.

The key reason Why Not:

• The craft is about bringing about change according to one's own will and may seek various perceived entities to help insure that is achieved. It doesn't wait for "answers," but it seeks to extract them.

• In traditions like Christianity it is prayer submitted to their concept of God and celebrating when what is petitioned is granted, but understanding if it isn't that it's the…

Where Traditions Agree

(Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Shinto, and Indigenous Traditions)

Druwayu is a modern, self-aware religious–philosophical framework grounded in disciplined honesty, structural coherence, and continuous correction. Many older traditions arise from very different historical, cultural, and theological foundations. Their symbols, metaphysics, and sacred narratives are not the same.

Yet when examined at the level of method, ethics, discipline, and responsibility rather than mythology or ritual form, meaningful areas of agreement appear. These points of convergence do not imply equivalence or doctrinal unity. They show recurring structural principles that emerge wherever a spiritual system takes truth, accountability, and transformation seriously.

What follows is not a claim of sameness — but of structural resonance across traditions.
