“GODDAMN CHURCH | How I Lost My Christian Faith” follows “Re: Le-gîon, Volume I” – a harrowing account of a doomsday cult upbringing. 

Witness to egregious inhumanity not limited to mental/sexual/spiritual abuse of minors through elderly. Mind control/manipulation, blackmail/extortion, grand larceny, drugging, human trafficking, cult sanctioned rape – even perversion eliciting suicide.

A sinister sect wherein serving “God” invokes dire consequence for those which disobey; programmed martyr for cause! To wit, an order of misogynist hypocrites where women are covered, blacks damned from birth, gays muzzled – then punished!

Bound among deeply disturbing, yet necessary works…

It’s rare to hear the heart of man articulated so clearly especially in regards to horrors no child, or person for that matter, should ever have to live through. It’s heart-wrenching and infuriating but also, as it become obvious from the early stages of the book, the careful selection of each detail completely necessary in an effort for this remarkable man to be re-united with his children.

I know Roberto personally, and can testify to his honour and larger-than-life presence. It would be hard to find another man who went through the special kind of hell that goes along with ritually abusive cults who still manages to hold himself with poise and confidence in daily life.

I recommend this book for everyone to read, especially residents of Ontario who may be able to become part of a solution.

Volume II serves as a crucial plea to all of us, particularly to those of the Christian faith, to become aware of and actively resist religious abuse in all its forms. Tragically, many of our Christian leaders are ravenous wolves, exploiting the scriptures for their personal gain. I extend my heartfelt commendation to Roberto for bravely confronting this injustice, exposing the guilty parties, and fiercely advocating for his beloved family members. I pray that God will grant justice in these matters.

My heart truly goes out to the children affected by these horrible people. I pray that God protects them and helps them heal from the pain. It’s hard to understand how someone can be so out of touch with reality that they don’t realize the harm they’re causing. To all the victims, survivors, and anyone who has been abused, stay strong. We’re stronger when we support each other.

Roberto has been pushed way beyond any normal limits into the writing of volume 11, thus exposing the evil truth. I applaud his courage to reveal in detail the ugly crimes that have been committed by the NCC/ACCN to himself and his precious children dear Mother and other unfortunate Believers.

A heartfelt read by a talented writer seeking justice.

Everyone needs to read this book. Wow. This type of evil needs to be exposed. Thank you Roberto for doing it with such realistic details. The NCC and the likes are religious cults! I feel sad that we are suppose to be believing in the same God but as a Christian, I don’t know this religious cult’s “God”. Praying that God will uproot the weeds because this should not go on anymore. Praying for justice for all.

A Gripping Sequel That Shatters Illusions - A Review of Goddamn Church: How I Lost My Christian Faith

Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 17, 2023

Goddamn Church: How I Lost My Christian Faith is a powerful and shocking sequel that uncovers the dark secrets of a dangerous cult. After eagerly waiting for more following the first volume, “Re: Le-gîon, Volume I,” I was amazed by how much the second volume revealed the horrifying truth. Roberto takes us on a scary journey through the hidden side of a doomsday cult, where terrible acts of abuse happen. He exposes mistreatment of young people, manipulation, blackmail, and theft. The book shocks us with disturbing details of drug use, human trafficking, rape that the cult allows, and even manipulation leading to suicide. He paints a vivid picture of a world where people use and abuse the word “God” to justify their evil actions. The cult brainwashes its members, making them believe they must be martyrs. It’s a place where women are silenced, people of color face discrimination from birth, and the LGBTQ+ community is both silenced and punished. I am sending love and hope to those victims. Although “Goddamn Church” is disturbing, it is an important read. Roberto bravely confronts the terrible things they witnessed, shining a light on religious extremism and abuse.

The book challenges our beliefs about faith, morality, and the power structures in organized religion, making us face uncomfortable truths. The writing is compelling, keeping me engaged throughout. Roberto’s honest storytelling leaves a strong impression and it’s brave of him to share his personal journey so openly, inviting us to understand his experience. Not only does Roberto expose the dark side of religious institutions but also gives us hope. Despite the despair, he shows us the strength of the human spirit and the power of self-discovery. This book encourages us to question blind faith and find our own path.

In conclusion, “Goddamn Church: How I Lost My Christian Faith” is a gripping and impactful sequel that lives up to the anticipation of the first volume. It fearlessly tackles themes of abuse, control, and religious extremism, leaving readers both disturbed and hopeful. This is a book that deserves attention, and its impact will stay with readers long after they finish reading.

Someone needs to check that church. Who in the world gave these religious cults so much power?! The definition of Antichrist literally means “opposed to Christ” and these leaders of the Nazarene Christian Congregation (NCC) or Apostolic Christian Congregation, Nazarean (ACCN) should be ashamed of themselves! Stay strong victims of abuse. Evil never lasts long… something has got to change.

GODDAMN CHURCH: Volume II

Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 15, 2023

Volume II is call to , no a warrior’s cry, to the very small innocent souls begging to be seen, heard, held, but most importantly saved! I cried, raged, and ache for the victims ( including the author himself!) to know true belonging and unselfish love. Church is a community, a tangible place to be and feel safe to worship , and yet we learn that it’s a building to rape the minds, souls and bodies of the vulnerable that brave to enter and bare the God made beings they are … all in the name of Re-Legion ! Who can wash their hands and know you have been/do better for having been given breath to live on this earth! Warriors are just victims that fight to save the loved ones that are still in these cults ! Fight Roberto with quill and ink … The Word is a double edged sword , more powerful than any other weapon !

As an older reader, Roberto’s book brings back memories from my past that I’d rather forget. But seeing how he faces his own traumas with courage gives me strength to slowly confront mine.

An eye opener of how cruel our world is

Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 14, 2023

The true God is all the positive energies in the world and are represented by the 9 Fruits of the Spirit. And the devil is all the negative energies in the world. These negative energies can be classified as the 7 deadly sins. This book embodies how we’ve all been tricked by the devil, we have been fed lies of how if you’re labelled a religious group, you’re untouchable. I’m so thankful Roberto is a voice for the lost souls that get tricked by adult men. They use a fake god to adhere to what they want and use that power to control others. But we all know that twisting God’s word (the Bible) is an atrocious thing to do. They will get their desserts. Also, a religious group should process the 9 Fruits of the Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindess, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness and Self Control), if they don’t, they should be stripped of their religious title and charged with the law.
