It's not good for us to be completely alone. We are social beings, and community is part of who we are. We search for truth in relationships, politics, games, drugs, anything. We search to the end of ourselves but end up with the same emptiness and questions. The truth, wholeness, community, and love we need and seek is often in the place we're too afraid to look - the Christian church. Even if you're not religious, the community and familial elements of a good Christian church are empowering. Put any biases you might have aside and take a step in. It might just be the real thing that finally makes us whole.
The Christian church has nothing to do with truth. Sure it might offer community, but it is a community based on dogma, on faith, not truth. Why was humanity banished from the garden? For eating from the tree of knowledge. Join a Promethean cult if you can find it OP.
I am so conflicted with this stuff. You let old men tell you how to live your life, but it makes people so happy. People hate having freedom. Of course they are lying too, but those lies make people happy.
Makes sense. I've found that Christianity, at its core, is the opposite. Freedom isn't forfeited, but actually found in one simple truth. The one truth actually leads to freedom: “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” and also that “the truth will set you free.”
