I’m a big fan of internet documentarian Johnny Harris. I think he’s doing fantastic work explaining complex topics in compelling ways within reasonable time constraints. In fact, he’s the best at it I’ve ever seen. From our semiconductor cold war with China
Thank you for sharing your journey. I keep you in my prayers. My journey differs because God has answered me directly on many occasions, with many special graces and deep intimate love. Yet, I struggle daily.
Hi Steve, thanks again for your honesty. I also appreciate having two posts coming out so soon. For an un proofread bitten bullet post, this was really well articulated. I’m encouraged that you still talk to God from time to time. It says a lot that you’re still keeping an open line of communication. I’m among those who hope you return to Christianity. But I also hope that in the meantime you can pay no heed to Christians who stand in self righteous judgment of your journey. “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” James 4:6.
It's such an ugly, messy process. And you're not just a product of isolation, so you have to figure out how much you want to talk about the people who contributed to your problems when your relationships with them are already strained or complex.
But for me, anyway, there's no path to take but this one. I can't fake belief, but I also can't fake the certainty of unbelief.
I was saying something to my wife the other day about how I feel like a guy working outside a spaceship who gets blasted by something and his tether isn't connected. I'm still alive, but I'm just spinning through space trying to figure out which way is up, how to get stabilized, and how to get to a place of safety. It's disorienting, to say the least.
And yes, I can't speak highly enough about Harris's documentary style. Lots to learn there, both from content and about technique as a filmmaker. I'd love to do more with films.

Thanks, John!
