What Kind Of Church Don't You Attend.

I subscribe strictly to the "What-If" theory. I've never been religous. I have attended churches for MANY religions. But my own personal beliefs are not associated with any of them. I walk the right path on my own.

That works. I have a similar way, but I believe that religion can be a great way to focus upon the Creation of OVERYTHING - and it follows - a CREATOR.

Sometimes I feel it could be a circular thing - the creator created us so we could create the Creator. Or that we are all the CREATOR, but just a splinter part - and eventually we all reassemble. OR the grand argument - "There HAS to be something about existing - or else we would not!"

So me? Methodist, Catholic and Wiccan - mixed in with my innate spirituality, and my old soul - GOD what a mix! PUN INTENDED.

It seems like, for those of us who are posting here, walking our own path is a common thread. I walk my own trail that blends facets from many places into a whole which works for me.

I do believe in the Bible. I have found through my years of searching, that Bilical truths mirror my Native American spiritual beliefs. As for chuch....I don't attend. I find that most churches are to tied into being religious and legalistic vs. having a very real spiritual, intimate relationship with Great Spirit, God the Creator. God is Spirit. We have to worship in Spirit. Just my belief.

I'm an empirical rationalist with no time for concepts like gods or souls. I am, however, psychologically disposed towards religion. This combination pretty much demands a lone path.

I do have a church, but only online; there aren't enough of us in one place to have otherwise. And I don't like the First One very much, so I rarely go there.

Non denominational Christian Church. Basically one that gets its beliefs strictly from the Bible and doesnt have the corporate hiearchy that some churches have. I am a very firm believer that God sent his son Jesus to walk among us and he died on a cross and rose again. I believe that Jesus gave us a new testament to live from and the old testament is just historical reference.

I come from a Catholic family but most people in my family are vehemently anti-religious. In my personal understanding

of spirituality over the years I have come a long way, for a long time I was bitterly angry at and institution I thought to be

the cause of many wars. However I have changed my mind and come to the thinking that religion is one of many things

unfairly, demonised- it is not religion that causes war but people.

Now I've come to find myself envious of people with religion in there heart, I think to have faith is a beautiful thing.

I believe in some thing wether that is cause and effect, Karma or simply that people are good, but in groups they can be

dangerous.

sorry not sure how clear that is

I believe in a power greater than me and I call him/her God. Thre are billions of galaxies out there, ours being a bit small. I believe one day we will realise how powerful god Really is. I do not belong to any religion except the feeling in mt heart that there is a god.

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?
