I grew up “Catholic”, but to be honest I never bought into it. Mostly as a kid the last thing I wanted to do was spend 5 days in school and then another day at Sunday school. So I distanced myself for a long time from Faith in general. About as distanced as I was from politics. Politicians are less trustworthy than used car salesman, at least you know the motive for the salesman. I also voted third party in 2016 being sick of the 2 party system. I felt the same way about the church with their Priest situations. My views haven’t changed much since say 10 years ago. The biggest change was that I was indifferent on abortion until we had our first kid in 2018. When I saw the ultrasound and heartbeat for the first time at 9 weeks I knew that was my child immediately. Nothing can change that opinion. Then later that year I began to pay attention to politics after the blatant deception from the Kavanaugh BS. I found a lot of parallels with the people standing up for Kavanaugh/Trump as with the teachings from Christianity. In 2019 I bought my first Bible (King James version).

Skipping the rest of the journey to get to the point:

The efforts these people have taken to actively undermine the lessons of the Bible has lead me to exactly what they are trying to destroy.

I am just starting to build on my surface level knowledge from my childhood, but I’m determined to learn more.

I just wanted to share with this community of shit posters, memers, truthers, pedes, and most importantly Patriots that I feel there is much more going on than what we see.

I, for one, simply was taught all science and no religion as a child, so it's not surprising that I don't believe in religion as an adult. I hate that the word has shifted from meaning "lack of belief in religion" to "23yo with a craft beer and a fedora telling you you're an Iron-age idiot for praying when your grandma had cancer", so I don't often use it anymore.

But that same scientific worldview means I see the statistics and understand that the average "Muslim conservative" is far scarier than the average "Christian conservative", and that vertebrates have two sexes, and authoritarianism is counterproductive, and so is suppressing speech you don't like, and on and on.

Far leftism has become a religion of its own, and it scares me too.
