Bart has written a new book on Revelation, titled "Armageddon - What the Bible Really Says about the End". In it, he examines the least-read and most-misunderstood book of the Bible. It will be out in late March, but you can pre-order here: [ Ссылка ]. Pre-orders really help drive publicity, so if you're interested in the subject (and why wouldn't you be? It's The. End. Of. The. World!), get it now while it's hot!

A person’s reasons for deconversion from Christianity to agnosticism or atheism are something that many Christians speculate wildly about, misunderstand, or simply refuse to believe, but those reasons can be varied and complex. In this episode, Bart talks to Megan about why he deconverted, how he found meaning after religion, and why he does what he does.
In this episode, Megan asks Bart some personal questions:
-What impact did learning more about the bible have on your religious convictions?
-What truly prompted you to leave Christianity, and how long had you been wrestling with that problem before you realized that you couldn’t solve it?
-Was there a specific moment that led you to finally walk away, or was it more the culmination of years of thought and reflection?
-Did you find any of the solutions satisfying, or were they all lacking?
-What do you mean when you say you’re an agnostic atheist?
-Some people believe that the real reason you write all of these popular books, speak in public, run your blog and so on, is because you’re on a mission to deconvert the faithful. In the book “God’s Problem” you make the point of saying that you have no interest in deconverting anyone - so why do you do this work?
