You ever wake up mid-prayer and realize you’ve been talking to your own guilt the whole damn time?
The Lie in the Wallpaper
Deconstruction starts when you stop nodding along. When that little whisper in your skull mutters, “Wait a second…” Maybe it’s the pastor dodging questions like he’s in a theological dodgeball tournament. Maybe it’s realizing the God who supposedly loves unconditionally has a list of conditions longer than a CVS receipt. Maybe it’s just the sheer absurdity of a talking snake and a woman made from a rib. Whatever cracks the foundation, it’s usually not thunder—it’s termites. Quiet, persistent, inevitable.
Faith by Force-Feeding
Let’s be honest—most people didn’t choose their beliefs. They inherited them like a haunted house full of cursed furniture. Born into it. Baptized before they could speak. Fed morality from a pulpit spoon by spoon until it tasted like identity. That’s not belief. That’s programming. And deconstruction? That’s the system crash. It’s where you stop mistaking emotional blackmail for divine truth.
The Process Ain’t Pretty
Let’s kill the romance right now: deconstruction is not a peaceful walk in the woods. It’s a bar fight with your former self. It’s insomnia, identity crisis, and grieving for a god you once clung to like a lifeline. You’ll feel like a traitor. A heretic. A villain in your own origin story. You’ll lose friends, disappoint family, maybe even hate yourself for a while. But on the other side of that bonfire? You’ll find clarity. You’ll find you—the real you, not the one filtered through scriptures and shame.
The Cult of Certainty
Religion thrives on certainty—eternal truths, unshakable faith, divine plans. But deconstruction is an act of spiritual uncertainty. It’s questioning the script and finding out nobody’s directing this play. It’s realizing that morality doesn’t need a cosmic babysitter, and meaning doesn’t have to be handed down from the clouds. You don’t need permission to think. You just need the guts to admit you were wrong—and that your gods were never right.
If you need a god to make you good, you were never good to begin with. If your beliefs demand blind obedience, they’re not beliefs—they’re shackles. Deconstruction doesn’t destroy meaning. It destroys delusion. And what you rebuild afterward? That’s the only thing that was ever truly yours.
You don’t need salvation. You need a sledgehammer.
Break the altar. Bury the lie. Build from truth.
Embrace who you are. Live your best possible life. Conquer your perceived world.
