    As a Christian in faith. I believe the bible needs to fade into obscurity. We need a new narrative that defines the sense of love, compassion & spiritual growth we seek. Fuck the dogma & the original sin idea that has been used to oppress and strike fear into peoples hearts and minds. Fear of god is spiritual abuse. That is what Christianity teaches right out of the gate. 🤦

      It’s okay to let go of the label and just come to terms with the fact that you have good values, you know?

        In one comment you chastise for believing and not taking responsibility, and in this comment you chastise for still believing while trying to fix things. Is it safe to assume that anyone who finds religious creeds acceptable is inferior to you

      If it’s possible to just retcon all of the shit that makes up the foundation of your religion and create a “new narrative” doesn’t that just prove that it’s all made up bullshit? Like isn’t faith by its very nature “blind” and the fact that you assert that you can reshape it to your tastes just means that you don’t actually believe in this as much as you think you do?
