Guardrails — Novel
Scott's first novel, born from his own journey of processing religious trauma nearly two decades after walking away from the church. A fictional exploration of the same themes this site addresses — the damage done, and the harder work of finding something more honest on the other side.

Published on Zenodo and distributed through SSRN's academic preprint network. A documented examination of how five major AI platforms independently resolved every ambiguity in purity culture's core proof-texts in favor of the institutional reading — silently, without acknowledging the ambiguity existed. When prompted using steelman prompting, every platform produced alternative readings that did not require marriage as a precondition — readings that were more consistent with the original language and, by the platforms' own analysis, more compelling than the defaults they had initially offered.

Debate — Pastor Gene Cook Jr., 2009
A recorded debate from 2009, when this argument was considerably less welcome than it is today. The content includes discussion of 1 Corinthians 7:3–4 and coercion within marriage — viewer discretion advised. Pastor Cook ultimately chose not to publish the episode without disclosing why.

On AI Assistance
I use AI assistance in writing and researching this site. Claims are checked against primary sources, and every page is reviewed and rewritten by me before it goes up. The tooling helps most with research, with verifying what I think I remember, and with keeping me constructive when the material sometimes makes that difficult.
