In this Thanksgiving conversation, The Talk My Credo team discards their entire topic outline to have an in-depth discussion community, faith, & the trending wave of "deconstruction" in responding to a recent online quarrel. Donte discusses the concept of deconstruction in relation to faith and belief systems, emphasizing that many individuals who claim to be deconstructing their beliefs are often not engaging in a genuine exploration of their faith, but rather are motivated by a disdain for God. He contrasts the idea of genuinely understanding one's beliefs with the act of simply tearing down established faith without a constructive purpose.
