    I agree, i have read the bible from a outside point of view, and i feel like all these people misunderstand so much at a fundamental level

    Granted, this was a while ago, and i dont remember the whole thing. But how can you anyway, its so long and inconsistant

      I was forced to go to a southern Baptist church for a while in high school, and over the 3ish years I did not hear a single sermon from the New Testament. But, the preacher was a broken record about accepting Jesus as your personal savior.

      Imo the Episcopalians got it right. Their philosophy is basically, “If it’s not hurting anyone else, you’re good.”

      The world would be a better place if everyone actually followed the teachings of Jesus, because it’s basically just, “don’t be a selfish asshole.”
