There is enough of my faith that overlaps with Christianity that I feel like I could just join a church or something, but there are so many caveats. Jesus, Mary, etc. as symbols are so good and make sense to me, but I don’t actually believe in the Bible. Sure, they may have been historical people, but not about the emasculate conception and virgin birth things. Like I could read the Bible, say prayers to God, but it would be my own perspective on God and my very non-literal interpretation of the Bible with its historical context in mind.

I had a conversation with a Lutheran minister recently. She offered a listening ear if I ever wanted to chat. I might take her up on it, but I feel like I wouldn’t actually have the community I seek if I joined because I would still feel different. I know it would just be a talk, but I feel like there is so much more weight on it. Idk

As Strong As Your Mind

Do you know your mind? How much time do you spend consciously subconscious mind exploring the origins of your thought? Although we like to believe our conscious mind is making all our daily decisions, the truth is that our subconscious mind rules many choices and actions. Programmed from birth to this day by the experiences of our life, the people in it, and the organizations we are members…

I’ve had a huge argument with my family about LGBTQ+ rights. Not being a part of it myself, but I still do stand by the rights and equality they should be given.

In my uncle’s opinion, gays and lesbians should not kiss or show affection in public where children are.

My argument was that they have just as many rights to show their partner love as straight people do. Children need to know that being gay, lesbian, transgender or anything else is okay.

But now offended, the older generation seem to not be speaking to me. And as a person who is passionate about equality, I am prepared to be hated.

Just to prove a point and show what is right

There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (Man's search for God!) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He found us?

So it is a sort of Rubicon. One goes across; or not. But if one does, there is no manner of security against miracles. One may be in for anything.

All delusions begin in the mind. All delusions are based on various ways we’re talking to ourselves and then believing what we are saying.

If I was asked to pick one song that makes me think of the shift in my faith, this would be it.

One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.
