I was born and raised methodist, later mom went over to the crazy side of evangelical (speaking in tongues, the pre-apocalyptic rapture, etc..) and I couldn’t muster the faith to follow. I became agnostic eventually and then went on to become a rather rabid atheist. No one could say anything about faith in my presence without my attempting to “set them straight” both in person and online.

I eventually found my way back to personal faith, but it is just that, personal. I attend no church because frankly I think that they are all completely full of shit to put it rather bluntly. I believe that Saul/Paul was a corrupter of Jesus’s message and a false prophet who led the church, especially the Roman Catholic Church into false worship and beliefs.

I believe that Jesus had the right idea about God but not in the way that is currently preached by the churches that claim to represent him. I call myself a Christian again now but I am also often highly critical of the many forms of the Church and also of others who call themselves Christian.

I am not your usual American evangelical “Christian” but something a bit…weirder.
