faith

Evangelicals and "prosperity preachers" are, far as I can see, pretty much destroying not just Christianity but Religion, in general

I am very much a Christian (in my own, unique, way) . . . this doesn't mean I don't "believe in" things most Christians would lose their minds over

nor does it preclude a love and deep appreciation for Judaism + Islam and many other religious faiths . . . I am way more a religious seeker than a New Age kind of dude; never doubt this

my #faith never wavers

even though I am constantly annoyed with what I see "in the world"

I believe in Religion, even though we all know the "institution" has been hijacked for hundreds and hundreds of years to support political and economic power

You can be a Christian, imo, and believe in reincarnation and discount all the nonsense about "women submitting" (hash tag #bullshit) and be "a psychic", too . . . you say prophet, I say clairvoyant

and feel a deep love and kinship with people who practice "competing" religions, as well -- if they come with a good heart (and of course there are people of pure hearts in all religions, somewhere or another)

there is truth in Religion

it is just buried

because its "truth" doesn't support oppression and so oppressors "suppress it"

I am much closer in my religious faith to Christianity than to more "New Agey" types of practices

this often surprises people when I say this
​
but it is very much, for me, my personal truth
