but at the same time it's making me wonder if i should keep going to church.

I'm convinced intellectually of at least some higher reality, it's possibly God, but I've never had any kind of special experience. i don't believe in a lot of christian doctrine.

i want God to reach out and guide me

it's good that religious people say the best reason to believe is that it's true, because the alternative is a noble lie type thing

tbh honest rn I'm a agnostic that likes the story of jesus

genesis 9 has god establish his rainbow covenant with noah and every single creature. it's a beautiful concept. and then after there's a story about why a tribe is in slavery

fuck off and fuck you. what the fuck is wrong with you. what do you think you're accomplishing? i hate you

i don't want to just post religion. i don't want that to be my only thing

the vibes have shifted. i feel like i kind of understand christianity spiritually recently. idk how to explain it, and when i think more analytically i can see the world as a atheist. but i'm definitely on the religious side of the agnostic balance. i could call myself a christian

i said at one point i was interested in theology but it's more accurate to say i'm interested in philosophy of religion i think

we kinda don't have access to the type of thing that divine command theorists want

in this way anything done by humans even if it involves something that's stance independent is subjective

some people think morality is identical to something, like well-being for example. so to say something is good or bad is to say it increases or decreases well-being. but that's kinda normative ethics i think

are people that argued trump couldn't be worse than biden on palestine being proven right?

what do you think about metaethics and moral realism stuff

been thinking about the concept of sin, whether i believe in it or not and also wondering about it's meaning and how other religions think about the concept

i'd like to read someone smart talk about it

i did learn about a bit about wesley and i kind of like the concept of methodism, like yeah i want to find a method to be holy

well right now I'm visiting churches based on 1. belonging to larger organization 2. not hating gay people. in my home town tho i guess i just picked the methodist one by looking at the websites and sticking with it after learning it was global

umc church was nice. i liked the people and i enjoyed it

need to find a better pfp.

i should look into the hours thing, for a bit I've been trying to do a simple pray in the morning and right before i sleep

"whether it can be understood in terms of the Christian message about the Christ" is similar to inclusivism but I knew you didn't buy into all of it

its all just regular people trying to understand the world and inheriting the traditions of their society, similar christians and everyone

i remember reading a baptist website say the devil was the source of other religions and I thought that was insane

it's like that inclusivism where other people are actually accidentally worshipping christ instead of what they say they're doing

which while might be condescending has the advantages of pluralism without claiming everyone's right

i understand now. i tried reading that earlier and couldn't parse it

I mean it's like anything that doesn't contradict something that's fundamental to christianity could be true for you right?

i think if God existed and cared about people believing in him then revelation would look different than it does

don't have a job or car rn and live in texas

i worry I'll never be able to transition

i lost my wallet in the move so that sucks and I'm very bored

sorry if i don't follow you immediately or ever

and feel free to follow i guess
