I became a hardcore christian at age 15. I was just a lost kid looking for guidance. But after a year I realized my heart wasn't really in it for the right reasons. I wasn't going because I really loved god. I just didn't wanna go to hell. I respected all the people at the church cause they really lived what they preached. But I bowed out that shyt and never looked back.
I still believe in a god. Just not the one from the bible. These books have been altered way too many times to really put much stock into em. And people point out how accurate some of the predictions in revelations were. As if back then people weren't worshipping money and sex. We've always been this way. I just can't be impressed that a bunch of people predicted humans will continue being humans
At this point I just believe that as long you're trying to spread positive energy to those around you, you're good. Just be a solid fukkin person through and through. That's all I'm trying to do. Maybe my stance will change as I get older. I would never rule out a return to the church cause I don't know what life will bring. But as of now, I just have different beliefs. Maybe the "god" who created all of this isn't even more powerful than us. I mean If we continue to create AI, eventually they will become more powerful than we are. But would they not consider us their god for bringing them into existence?
