You’re listening to a witness – punctual, well-dressed, seemingly credible. You lean toward believing their words. Then the cross-examination begins. Suddenly, the cracks show. A lie is exposed. And in that instant, the credibility you gave them collapses.
This is the danger of selective truth: once falsehood slips in, how much can you trust the rest?
Now imagine that witness is Christianity itself.
For centuries, it has presented itself as the way, the truth, the life. Yet millions have walked away – not because they stopped seeking truth, but because they couldn’t ignore the lies, abuses, and hypocrisies they saw firsthand. They witnessed leaders preaching love while practicing exclusion. They expected mercy and found judgment. They sought power and found politics.
As jurors in the trial of truth, can we afford to ignore this contradiction?
This is the Trial of the Century. And Christianity is in the witness box.I invite you to join me on this journey – not in a courtroom, but here, where I lay out the case from my own life. I spent three-quarters of my life inside the system. I served, led, and believed. And then I began to ask questions that changed everything.
These are real events, told as testimony. Together, we’ll examine the evidence, weigh the contradictions, and reach a verdict.
When you take the Bible seriously, not symbolically or emotionally but literally, you run into one of the most uncomfortable conclusions imaginable for someone like me, a Métis man with Mi'kmaq ancestry: If my people had lived anywhere near ancient Israel, the God of the Bible would have ordered us exterminated. Not for crimes, Not for violence, Not for immorality, Just for our spirituality.
