Lmao I’m something between someone actively practicing and figuring things out, but for me what solidified even trying religion is that it gives a lot of people a reason to be good and do good things, and to not go insane with all the awful stuff going on, it’s like the best coping mechanism lol
this!!! personally, huge huge fan of Jesus. love what he did, what he stood for, and what he said. however, i don’t like going to church and i don’t really trust the bible (at least except for the gospels) bc the people that wrote the other books were basically randoms. i don’t like organized religion and i think being “forced” (or forcing yourself) to follow any religious “rules” other than 1. love Jesus and 2. treat every living being with love and respect, is very very culty tbh.
Oh my god that’s so awful?! I try and focus on the people that aren’t doing that, because God explicitly said that there’s a special place in hell for people who use his name to hurt others, even if I’m not down with everything my specific church says, I just use it as a baseline ngl
