You were told not to question. We’re here to teach you how.
This page is for anyone picking up the scattered pieces of belief, asking big questions, and realizing that faith rooted in fear isn’t sacred — it’s a cage.
You’ll find tools here to analyze doctrine, spot manipulation, and rebuild a worldview that’s yours, not theirs.

If your beliefs can’t survive logic, they’re not divine.
Circular reasoning ("The Bible is true because the Bible says it's true")
Appeals to authority ("The pastor said so")
False dichotomy ("You're either holy or worldly")
Slippery slope ("If you wear pants, you'll fall into sin")
Strawman ("You just want to sin")
