User Bio:
Brian E. Payne is a native of the former furniture town, Thomasville, NC.

Brian received his bachelor’s in Physical Education/Health at High Point University and a master’s in Divinity from Howard University. While at High Point, Brian was a dynamic campus leader and he became a Five-Time Track and Field All-American, and received an invitation to compete in the 1991 Olympic Track & Field Trials.

Immediately upon graduating from High Point University, Payne worked for the YMCA of Thomasville as a Youth Fitness Director, with an array of responsibilities ranging from teen fitness to adult health education.

After one year at the YMCA, he entered the Peace Corps. In Antigua, Payne was responsible for developing and implementing a Physical Education curriculum. He also worked as a Peace Corps trainer for incoming trainees, host country teachers, and host government community leaders.

In his most recent service with the Peace Corps, Brian served as the Recruitment Coordinator for the Atlanta Peace Corps Recruiting Office. He was responsible for coordinating all recruitment activities within six states and two United States territories. Prior to the Recruitment Coordinator position, Brian served in various capacities within Peace Corps. As a testament to his leadership qualities and productivity Brian was granted the maximum tour of service (8 ½ years).

He is a devoted father of one, and a prolific writer. Several of his writings have been published in a monthly newspaper that’s dedicated to sharing local information, community highlights, and stories. The papers target audience is African American. He is also a frequent contributor for a daily newspaper in North Carolina, and just recently was published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Brian is currently working on completing his first book of commentaries and a second book addressing the power and complexities of Christianity: Exposing Christianity, My Way of Sharing an Alternative to the Church’s Truth. Several of his writings are housed on his blog: Muatatruthtelling.blogspot.com. He welcomes you to visit, read, and comment. In the meantime, please read the description of his book:

By way of critical and controversial commentary this book issues a challenge to the sacred beliefs associated with Christianity e.g. Jesus’ purpose, the existence of heaven, the authenticity of biblical scripture, the forgiveness concept, and the understanding of God’s existence. I am writing from a layman’s theological point of view accented with a divinity school education. The ultimate reason for writing this book is an attempt at trying to encourage people to expand their thinking without complicating the subjects at hand. ‘Keeping it simple.’ Sermons have been included to not only display my sermon writing abilities, but I am sharing them to support my opinion that, despite varying theological views, Christianity can be used in a way to literally move people in the “right” direction and generate a remarkable faith without subscribing to those ‘divine tenets’ that really do not make any sense at all.

Join me on this journey of truth telling as I pontificate on the inaccuracies, contradictions, and false truths of Christianity. My purpose is to encourage critical thought, beliefs analysis, and civil debate among believers and non-believers.
