What religion is close enough to Christian that it’s comforting but far enough away that it’s not triggering? Important: accepts gays. I have a deep yearning for religion even despite my lack of faith in any Christian god that lets the world run the way it does.

#it’s like. i need a religion that’s not about god. that’s not about contriteness.#a religion that’s about mutual respect between the world and I #ofc I think my idea of what religion I want is one I can’t have bc of how stubborn I am #need something that’s not about sin. smthng about doing good not preventing evil #i would say something that allows me not to change but no. something that I get to CHOOSE what change is important and not feel guilty #about not doing it all perfectly #something where I can debate the rules if they sound stupid #something where faith is not another word for obidience #where blindly following isn’t the ideal worshipper #smth. smth ab respect. i give it to god he gives it the fuck back. smth ab earning grace both ways round #oh fuck I think. i think I want a religion where being angry at god isn’t a sin. and it can even be a good thing when it helps you learn #where I matter. a religion where I matter as much as god does because we are ALL SENTIENT BEINGS and therefore matter the same amount
