Deconstructing Faith On Purpose
It’s obvious why so many assume that deconstructing one’s faith could be dangerous, but no one seems to notice how dangerous it is to stay where you are!
Sometimes sanity is relative. Where’s the sanity in tearing apart your house unless its broken and needs fixed? What do they say? “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!” But how do you know it ain’t broke unless you examine it closer than from the driveway as you park the car?
You could imagine someone choosing, for some weird and strange reason, to take apart their house so that they could sit and meditate in the place where it used to be. But what then? Live without a house? Some seasons that might be fine, but all year? What about the next year? What about that mortgage that wasn’t paid off? What about nervous neighbors who will try to have you whisked off to some mental hospital?
We’ve seen many folks have their roof taken off so they can put up a new one, or maybe you’ve done that on your house? Then there are those houses which the wind got a hold of and made a mess, so there’s reason to take it apart, but again there is purpose, so it can be put back together, made whole. We tend to need houses, or a place of safety and security like a house. Its just practical.
