but at the same time it's making me wonder if i should keep going to church.

I'm convinced intellectually of at least some higher reality, it's possibly God, but I've never had any kind of special experience. i don't believe in a lot of christian doctrine.

i want God to reach out and guide me

fuck off and fuck you. what the fuck is wrong with you. what do you think you're accomplishing? i hate you

we kinda don't have access to the type of thing that divine command theorists want

in this way anything done by humans even if it involves something that's stance independent is subjective

some people think morality is identical to something, like well-being for example. so to say something is good or bad is to say it increases or decreases well-being. but that's kinda normative ethics i think

i did learn about a bit about wesley and i kind of like the concept of methodism, like yeah i want to find a method to be holy

well right now I'm visiting churches based on 1. belonging to larger organization 2. not hating gay people. in my home town tho i guess i just picked the methodist one by looking at the websites and sticking with it after learning it was global

"whether it can be understood in terms of the Christian message about the Christ" is similar to inclusivism but I knew you didn't buy into all of it

its all just regular people trying to understand the world and inheriting the traditions of their society, similar christians and everyone

i remember reading a baptist website say the devil was the source of other religions and I thought that was insane

it's like that inclusivism where other people are actually accidentally worshipping christ instead of what they say they're doing

which while might be condescending has the advantages of pluralism without claiming everyone's right

i understand now. i tried reading that earlier and couldn't parse it

I mean it's like anything that doesn't contradict something that's fundamental to christianity could be true for you right?

don't have a job or car rn and live in texas
