Am a Christian atheist ftr–just feels bad to see so many accept convenient lies over the honest truths of a worthwhile series of stories (wether they factually happened is of little to no value in the pursuit of truth, no?)
you don’t believe in any of the supernatural stuff
Correct. It feels beyond a little silly to pretend there is any kind of entity in control or overlooking the unfolding of events that is reality or what we mean by reality. I will admit, the ‘god in process’ theories are fun and maybe insightful to some degree but nothing worth putting faith in just yet.
are just about the better teachings of Jesus? Aka a Jefferson bible take?
I’ve heard of this, but I just now researched it. Seems interesting, but it is certainly not what I’m speaking to at all afaict
