I have two central complaints about Christianity.
One, it requires you to believe absurdities.
Two, it engenders certainty in a large subset of it’s adherents.
”Not all Christians!”
Sure. There are chill Christians who are just doing their thing. Quietly believing absurdities and not making it anybodies problem. Bless them.
I don’t think there are Christians that don’t believe absurdities. I think if you don’t believe the absurdities, you’re an atheist (or something else) who likes the vibes. But that’s a fight for another day.
The thing is, religion is a matter of personal taste. There are people who see God as one thing, from which everything emanates. Ok great. There are other people who see many Gods populating the world, distinct and rich. Ok, also great. You might find, with practice, that you can see it either way, that you can turn your mind one way and see the unity, and turn it another and see the plenitude.
This kind of perspectival flexibility is my absolutely holy jam. You might say this is one of my Gods. The God of “When you look at it a different way, it looks like a different thing.“ Or you might say this is one of my favorite emanations of the one God ;)
But it’s a neat trick. And the more you develop this trick, the harder it makes it to go back to looking at it one particular way and saying “THIS IS DEFINITELY THE RIGHT WAY“
