Ok. So how does one go from being in evangelical work to growing up? I feel there is a bit of a long story between those 2. Lol
Yes indeed. A very long story.

I forgot to mention, I was even an alterboy/server. Assisted in the preparation for communion, carried the cross leading the choir and the minister and the 2 other servers in an out.
Memorized and still recall several very long prayers. Actually fainted in the big preamble to the blessing of the wine and bread. Nothing to kneel against, free kneeling, dressed in a smock, endless prayer.... BOOM. Next thing I know the leading choir lady is slapping my face in the vestry.....
But I'll have you know, I got back on that horse and finished the service to an applause.
Took one for the team.

He was Jehova Witness and doesn't understand that is a non-Christian cult and hasn't experienced a true relationship with Christ. Unfortunately that combined with his early life experiences have jaded him towards the concept of a higher power.
I pray for him because the majority of his world view isn't his fault. He has done exceptionally considering the obstacles he was given.
It's weird how you've construsted a skeletal shell of my upbringing and it's shallower than a skeleton.

This.......
I actually believe when you die,we are nothing but dust in the wind......
Dieing is like when you go into surgery and they put you to sleep,you wont know,see or feel anything........your just gone.....
I ain’t here to judge my man. I’m just a human
Makes no sense to me or my experience. I’m not afraid and actually have something I believe in. Why does that bother so many?

Doesn't bother me.But it seems to bother you that everyone doesn't believe as you.
Beliefs are subjective. We all believe differently. Why can't that be acceptable and not a challenge?
Wrong. What makes you think I’m bothered? I’m not here questioning or dogging anyone’s belief. What do you believe in?

Pretty simple. Our beliefs are shaped by our experiences, education and thought. No two are the same therefore no two sets of beliefs are the same. Metaphysics is not objective.
So what do you believe in?
Probably most of the same things you believe in minus a sky daddy.

I stated it. There is no absolute truth. There are facts, verifiable statements. There are beliefs, non verifiable statements.
Outside of that, Cartesian thought at the base. I think, therefore I am.
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"
I’m gonna roll with the book over 2000 that clearly states absolute truth. How old are you? Curious
You have the need to keep attacking God. Interesting. Why? You mad bro?
how old are you?
