The concept of someone praying for me is arguably the most intimate I can imagine

[rewritemyfaith]

So I’ve realised it really is a pattern of pushing away EVERY parental adjacent figure in my life when I feel betrayed even once.

someone: i hate every christian. they are evil, hateful people following a death cult that does nothing but discriminate. they are misogynistic and homophobic, and with christofacism on the rise, they have shown they are a danger to society.

me: this anger is completely understandable and genuinely valid in many ways. my religion is hurting people, and this person has the right to push back-- their wish to protect people from us is warranted, and i will not take it personally, and will not 'no true scottsman' my religion.

someone: christians are a bunch of anti-vax and anti-science morons who care more about a book than science. they all refuse to believe in evolution, and they all want nothing more than to hurt anyone who actually follows science--

me: if it were not for the law of my lord i would have killed you

If Father’s Day is a difficult milestone for you due to loss, strained relationships, or estrangement, your feelings are incredibly valid. You don’t have to force a celebration. Give yourself permission to just breathe and log off if you need to. 🫶🏼

I’ve noticed myself seeing god in more things recently and describing more things as “heavenly”

And it’s not weird, it’s new, but not weird. It feels comfortable and natural.

I’m new to religion and I would like to be guided to the right resources/labels/terms to use.

Under this I’m going to ask all the questions I can think of(even if I think it’s a stupid question) + my beliefs and if anyone has any information they could educate me on I’d love to hear it.🙏

beliefs:

Anti-racism/homophobia/transphobia/sexism , I love science and I want to incorporate that into my religion more , I don’t believe you need a building(church) to build your relationship with God , on the other hand I love church for the community(in my area my church’s aren’t very accepting unfortunately) , I don’t believe in a lot of “traditional” values

Questions:

My biggest question is how do I figure out my label/denomination(?)(idk)? Like where should I research and what should I look for?

I would love to read the Bible but I know there are many different versions. Based on my beliefs what version do you think is best?

Where do I start? Like when I find my set labels and the words that fit my beliefs the best what should I do?

I very much want to believe and I feel like I do believe but I’m very worried that my religious trauma and guilt is going to get in the way of my beliefs. How do I deal with that?

Sorry this post is long. Any comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.

I want my religious journey to be very personal and true to me I just need some guiding hands to get me started on what I need to know. I think I’m going to keep asking questions even if I feel like they’re stupid.

[butchdykejesuschrist]

You can love your neighbor and not love God, secular people do it all the time, with great success. The reverse however, is not true. If you do not love your neighbor, than you can not love God. Any Christian that would send away the immigrant, the queer, the poor, or the marginalized - would nail Christ to the cross. The Holy spirit dwells in the detention center and prisons, the bath houses and whore houses, the section-8 housing and the homeless shelter, for we are all made in the image of God.

[rewritemyfaith]

Are panentheism and pantheism like subcategories in religion? Like can I be a pantheistic Christian or are those two separate ideals completely? Also can someone fully explain panentheism to me? I started on research but I can’t find many easily accessible information on it.

if you could ignore everything abt me then im actually perfect

[rewritemyfaith]

I’m scared I’m going to face the worst rejection yet when I die.

[rewritemyfaith]

How do I convince myself that god does love me and that I’m not just disappointing them all the time
