Jesus tells David's mother to stop drinking. Her struggles with addiction ended when she dramatically converted to Christianity. This had a major influence on David's faith.
He approached his faith with authenticity, but soon found he was in the minority amongst friends. He learned that others approached their Christianity in different ways.
David eventually enters the ministry, before burning out and distancing himself from church activities.
When David reads something from Greta Christina, it's the final straw.
After 20 years of Christianity his faith broke down in 2015.
He respects and cares for those who remain in their faith. David is interested in finding evidence based truth. He want's to discover and communicate the subtleties of why some believe, some do not and some change their minds.
