  I made the same journey during COVID, ultimately arriving at a similar place that the Nicene Creed was the first in a long line of obvious retconned political and human decisions. For what is worth, I also feel like it’s in the same vein as most of what Paul did, codifying and standardizing to the detriment of the source material and to the benefit of anyone willing to take charge.

  I’m still genuinely shocked that anyone can read the Gospels and then not see the record-scratch pivot in tone for everything else afterwards. Well, shocked in as far as to then be disappointed at how easily a mess of addenda created something antithetical to a bunch of nebulous good vibes with no clear avenue to monetize it all.

  Which, oddly enough, Buddhism does as well, but owns it as part of the process.

    Bruce Gore. Seems to be a Presbyterian which imo are usually the biggest nerds but that was what I was looking for anyway ;)

  I can’t help but to agree with you on more or less all points made.

  You sound like you need Satan in your life.

  The satanic temple recognizes that religion has a huge sphere of influence over humanity, and this sphere should not be conceded to theist religions alone. The satanic temple serves as a counter balance to theist religions, and their influence in the world.

  PS: Here is a joke:

  Question: What to do call people who believe that Satan exists?

  Answer:

  Christians

    Nah diehard atheism isn’t really my jam. I’m leaning more towards gnosticism / esotericism. I’m actually fine with the whole Jesus thing I just wanna skip the misogyny and do more chasing capitalists out of churches while getting drunk with hookers. Also I’m actually kinda vibing with the aesthetic of the weird pseudoscientific spiritual shit because I like pretty rocks and starry shit.

      Whatever works for you. I hope you find a religion that fits you (and does not hurt other people in the process)
