“When I was a pastor I was a liar who thought he was telling the truth” – Former pastor says
A man is reminiscing on his time as a pastor.
Ejeagba Chidi claimed that he was a liar as a pastor but thought he was telling the truth because he believed in his message.
However, he has now called what he previously believed in “falsehood” and added that everything he preached was built on a “false foundation”.
He wrote: “When I was a pastor, I was a liar who thought he was telling the truth.
“I was sincere, but I was sincerely wrong.
“Everything I preached was built on a false foundation. How can one be truthful when the entire premise they stand on is flawed?
“This is why I don’t judge those still trapped in religious dogma too harshly. I’ve been there. I know what it means to believe so deeply in something, only to realize later that it was never truly yours to believe in.
“But sincerity is not an excuse to remain stuck in falsehoods. We owe it to ourselves to question even our most cherished beliefs. Because the most dangerous lies are the ones told by those who genuinely think they are speaking the truth.”
