Reevaluating your faith and what you were taught to believe. It is very often abandoning fundamentalism. For some it is moving to a different form of the same faith, often a more logical,empathetic,progressive one, for others it is losing faith entirely. It is quite often people seeing the cruelty in the evangelical church and choosing to follow the love that Christ commanded instead of their evangelical churches.
James: you’re a Baptist right? You believe in the discrimination&anti-science that they’ve taught in their churches?
John: No I grew up in the baptist church but am deconstructing.

Get the deconstructing mug.The opposite of construction (not to be confused with constructivism), but not exactly.
A construction of step by step destruction in the real world, destroying what is known to create what is possible only in an other, inconceivable and as yet, unimaginable world.

Get the deconstructivism mug.A portmanteau of "demonstration" and "distraction": A demonstration of something intended to distract the audience from a fundamental lack of substance. Used often in the pseudo-sciences.
Cold Fusion researchers performed another public demonstraction of their device, hoping we wouldn't notice the same flaws we pointed out the last time they did this.

Get the Demonstraction mug.One of the many lovely Americans (using the term loosely) who mistakingly believes that our established free nation is merely a pot of clay for them to mold into a theocratic, religious fanatic regime where Mosaic Law (basically Sharia law, Old Testament version) is forced upon all and anyone who doesn't adhere to the established religion and beliefs is persecuted and killed. Basically this is the Christian version of the Muslim cleric/fanatic. This term is not to be confused to refer to merely anyone of the Christian religion.
Person 1: "Did you hear Christian Reconstructionist Bradlee Dean talk about how Sharia law is more moral than American values because it brutally slaughters gays and lesbians? Then he accused gays of tearing down our country's fabric to allow Sharia law"
Person 2: "Huh. Maybe he should try getting his facts straight before he opens his mouth. Someone ought to ship him over to Iran if he loves it so much"
Person 1: "He'd sure be much happier preaching the Gospel..."

Get the Christian Reconstructionist mug.Someone who is able to see a thing, item, object as the sum of it's components and further to that see a variety of alternative ways to use those components in unlimited combinations. Or someone who is able to see unconventional ways to use existing technology, methodology or machinery such that it takes on a completely new purpose or practicality.
Many people who are praised for their ability to produce unique works are in reality reconstructionists.
