You are not wrong that Theists and Atheists are two sides of the same coin.

However, you must remember there is always three sides to a story, especially in the courthouse. There is there are the narratives, and what lies beyond them.

Theists say we should worship God.

Atheists say we should worship science and materialism/paganism.

But they both make the mistake of looking outside of themselves, finding masters instead of mastering themselves.

The Truth lies in the Middle section of the coin
which is often ignored by it's two identical, yet opposing faces. There, you will find there is a God, and he is infinite as the expanding universe and energy which the atheists often speak of.

It is also true, that this entity we call God, is not only infinite, but also within each and every one of us through our imaginations.

We are God, just as God can be everything and Nothing, the beginning and the End. We are one with God, for that is what the Holy Spirit Represents. The endlessness of our imagination simultaneously is innately God in Us, and Connects us Directly to God, where we are infinite, even beyond death when our physical humanity is relinquished.

Jesus Represents the way which Imagination Connects to God, and God himself, is
imagination, and the Holy Spirit, is the God-In-Man, which we experience as Imagination.

What does Christianity require aside from belief in Christ? The only hard and fast thing I can be certain of is the golden rule and maybe some extensions of it, as well as a prohibition on non-marital sex.

Just lead them back, OP.

I just have one thing to say
The Bible was not written by God, but by the hand of man, so regardless of what the Bible may say about me, and my boyfriend's lifestyle, the real God up in Heaven loves everybody. He doesn't care whether you are gay, or straight for we are all his children, and if by some miracle God doesn't approve of me, or my fucking bitch then quite frankly he is not a God worth worshipping.

>Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Matthew 13:24-30
if we were just "sheep" the personage of Christ would be useless and meaningless to us

>implying every fictional female is sexual in nature.

Not a strong argument friend.
I am indifferent to who else may love her, from my perspective, that proves that 1. I have a good waifu. and 2. I am not alone in my despair.

There's no more a false idol than one you've made yourself, yet you claim that a self made waifu is somehow better? That's entirely a sexual character, you may as well make a custom porn character your waifu.

How does one properly read the Bible? I feel like I'm not doing this correctly.

I grow my own mushrooms now at my place and i want to read good books that will expand my fantasy while iam Trippin. Ofc I will not trip heavy but just enough to feel euphoric and open-minded.Any suggestions?(pic nto related

>When Ibsen spoke of the new generation knocking at the door, he certainly never expected that it would be the church-door.

coronas been tough on a number of fronts
i think most good churches are mostly ignoring it atm, they might still be skeptical of an outsider, but i would hazard and say theyd probably been even more welcoming tahn usual, and at least the pastor would be excited just because you seem like a devout enough fellow
have a good nap anon and may the Spirit stay satans devices. We will dine in eternity together brother, at the end of this ever approaching rosy dawn

The Bible, it worked for me.
