Analyzing Christianity
The pro-life clinic manual that deconverted me from Christianity
I started reading this CPC manual as a firm, fervent Christian. I ended it weeping, devastated, and windmilling my arms over the ledge of apostasy.

By far, one of the only spots of amusement in recent news is the way that Donald Trump’s onetime allies and most fervent supporters are now distancing themselves from him. And of all of those allies and supporters, none were quite as certain of their allegiance as so-called ‘pro-lifers.’ These culture warriors once heralded him as a divine savior of pweshus unborn baybeez. But now, they’ve been trying to claim some very different territory. Today, let me show you how feckless and obviously self-interested these self-proclaimed culture warriors truly are, in their attempts at distancing themselves from Donald Trump.
In this blog’s first year, I spent a few months outlining all the different elements that went into my deconversion. I haven’t formally talked much about it since. Now, here, I want to put my deconversion ex-timony into one post. Here’s how–and more importantly why–I deconverted from Christianity, and why I won’t ever go back to it or any other religion.
One of the biggest lies told by fake abortion clinics is that they are actually medical clinics, meaning that they are medical offices staffed by people knowledgeable about pregnancy and facilitating and educating about all the options available for pregnant women. They’re anything but. I’ll show you the first few pages from a CPC manual scan that a reader sent to me, which ought to settle that question nicely.
It’s been a rather mind-blowing week over in Christian Bizarro-land. The anniversary of the landmark decision Roe v. Wade was coming up, and it happened to coincide with the start of a legislative session in Congress, so naturally there’s been quite a lot of grandstanding and showboating going on as Christianist politicians and religious leaders alike jockey to demonstrate who loves fetuses the most.
