Jacobus Gericke writes passionately and honestly about his experiences on the road to becoming a Died-Again Christian. Here is a snippet that gripped me the most:
“God is dead and I am not feeling so good myself.
They say losing a spouse is the most stressful experience most people will have. They say its like living in a reality with a part of oneself gone, or with a hole in the fabric of one’s existence. Well let me tell you, the death of one’s God is no picnic either. In fact, what you lose is not simply a part of reality – it is nothing short of what used to be reality itself.”
His points are powerful and echoes what’s in the hearts of many within the Ex-Christian community. The last sentence of his writing speaks volumes if you get my drift.
