Grew up evangelical. Now I’m not “religious” but am “Christ leaning.” Like, I appreciate the idea of Christ and hope that whatever higher being there might be has some Christlike qualities.
I don’t know. I doubt. I hope. I do shrooms. I’m confident there is more to existence than we know. I hope to leave a legacy of kindness. I like to learn and experience as much as I can. Love wins and transcends. I think enjoying the universe is method of worship. All that shit. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also, when I was religious I was an amillenial partial preterist which pissed off a lot of bible thumpers in my region. Felt kind of punk to adopt those beliefs. That Left Behind shit is weird and never helped anyone.
I have no idea what this means but I'm curious. Care to elaborate?
Amillenial = basically we are not waiting for a literal 1,000 year reign of Christ as king on earth. More info here: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-is-amillennialism.html
Preterism = the belief that some or all of the biblical prophecies have already taken place. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preterism
