It’s funny that you and I have so much in common and diverge so much on this topic. “The root problem with conventional christianity is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The church must be trusted not to debase the faith, but the history of religions is full of breaches of that trust. Pastors must be trusted to lead their flocks of sheep into a “promised land” but they meander in circles, never seeing the return of their zombie savior”. - Bohdi Nakamoto
