not one of my best moments.
if i were to go back in time, instead of telling him to "let go of rationality", i would say that there is something distinctly rational to running the Faithless Christianity experiment:
- pretend God is real for a month
- pray to Him daily even if you don't believe
- read the Bible (I would start with gospels)
- try to be like Jesus
- see what happens!

@bdguan Been following your journey. Super happy for you man.

"I don't respect your religion. I respect you."
Religions don't respect each other by design.
'Thou shalt have no other gods before me' isn't a suggestion — it's the entire point. The whole 'I respect all religions' thing is just polite atheism.
You can't actually respect contradictory claims at the same time.

@Bonecondor didn’t mean any disrespect
but fair enough I probably could have been kinder in my response
Twitter brings out the worst in me

@bdguan The sheer and utter disrespect it takes to respond like you have is not holiness, nor godliness. Don't ever speak to me again.

the renaissance and enlightenment period you want existed immediately after the most Christian period of history in Europe ever
what you are really asking for is a spiritual reawakening
Chairman Birb Bernanke@Bonecondor
just a thought, but many people who are about to be wildly liquid could perhaps engage in noblesse oblige and breathe life into the spark of a new renaissance / enlightenment era. that could happen next, if you wanted

you grew up in the best country in the world bc of its Christian values and the teachings of Christ
you live in the most American city in the world, the most diverse city in the world, the most accepting city in the world because of universal humanism that Jesus represented
I’m not saying you have to believe in him as your lord and savior, but you should understand the impact

This is not ragebait, this is me being as polite as I can in telling you that your view is not the only one, and I do not appreciate having yours shoved down my throat and told that I just don't know what I want. I grew up jewish in the deep south, I have had enough of this attitude to last me several lifetimes.
English

@Bonecondor I would engage in this ragebait but luckily Jesus has saved me for greater things
God be with you ma’am 🫡

@bdguan This doesn’t make any sense at all. Lol. You’re basically just reinventing Unitarian Universalism.
