There is enough of my faith that overlaps with Christianity that I feel like I could just join a church or something, but there are so many caveats. Jesus, Mary, etc. as symbols are so good and make sense to me, but I don’t actually believe in the Bible. Sure, they may have been historical people, but not about the emasculate conception and virgin birth things. Like I could read the Bible, say prayers to God, but it would be my own perspective on God and my very non-literal interpretation of the Bible with its historical context in mind.
I had a conversation with a Lutheran minister recently. She offered a listening ear if I ever wanted to chat. I might take her up on it, but I feel like I wouldn’t actually have the community I seek if I joined because I would still feel different. I know it would just be a talk, but I feel like there is so much more weight on it. Idk
