Darkroom Faith Trailer, 2-min Portrait

[MUSIC PLAYING] It's probably a year ago when I saw that video. It's called My Deconversion from Christianity. Before I could fully process what that even meant, it started auto play. There was this one girl. She doesn't share the same views as me. And she tells me, I really don't like Christians. Why is Christianity the only thing? Don't all religions lead to God? Faith is just a personal thing. Lately, I've been asking myself, what makes Christianity different? Why do I identify as a Christian? There really is a God who really does love me. How come I feel this way? When I was younger, kids bullied me because of who I am. So I gave up on God. If he was going to allow all that, who needs him? But when I was 14, my friend Hannah forwarded me this video. It was a story about a girl just like me. I just want God to tell me if this is supposed to be what I'm supposed to do. If this is my purpose, please show me. What was the fight about? Tell me that story. Just tonight, a guy tries to kiss me without asking. Are you kidding me? You have to ask me. Don't just kiss me. That's messed up. What? Oh, you think I'm going to tell you my backstory. Maybe later. I grew up trusting in the Bible. But as I've gotten older, I think I've started to wonder how the Bible and my experiences can hold up together. I don't hate church, but I don't feel it either. I tried reading the Bible last week. I didn't get much out of it, to be honest. When I ask why, is that offensive? Am I a bad Christian? I have a secret. All my life I've had questions about my faith. About God. And about religion. But now? I'm going to tell you my questions. My struggles. My doubts. I hope you can handle-- the truth.
