Read Philosophy & You’ll (Probably) Fundamentally Change — How I Left Christianity (Pt. 6)

I recently wrote a post where I detail my journey from Christianity and a lot of people benefited from it. So, I thought I’d write a more detailed account in the form of a series.

This is the sixth part of the series. If you would like to catch up and read the first post, here’s a link. Here is the link to the fifth post in this series.

Thus far, I traveled from Slovakia to Canada to study abroad at the age of 16 and am on my way to the South Coast of England, to Portsmouth, where I would stay for eight months until I moved to the greenery and old masonry of Oxford.

Here, I detail my first two years at College and how the ideas of philosophers and political scientists shaped my thinking in the years to come.

My academic journey continued, after a failed start in Portsmouth, at the largest community college in British Columbia. I was afraid of academia. I stumbled into some problems with the university in England.

I found the classes too large and the content dull. I barely knew myself when I chose my field of study. All I knew was that I was a Christian who felt that going into theology would not guarantee me any stable income in the future.
