I wish I could believe in the tenets of Christianity. In some ways I WANT TO. I was raised Catholic, and I think I got to this skeptical point because nobody ever even tried to answer my questions intelligently.

But! I've at least renounced atheism.

The best I can do is believe in Goodness. You made a profound comment on Twitter that brought me here. Thank you for writing about this trickery. It's very uncommon to find a Christian who doesn't simultaneously talk crap about Muslims or people in other religious groups.

Since you have made such profound points I'm giving you a follow. 😊 Thank you for using your precious energy to speak out. I'm down on American society now, the viciousness, the constant desire to argue and hate. Now the betrayal of the president. And now Tulsi. Makes me wonder, what is the deep state (handful of oligarchs) doing to them?? Are they being drugged or do they have a gun to Tulsi's family's heads? I want to assume that Trump and Tulsi are forced to behave this way. I want to believe this.

Anyways, thanks again. It consoles me a bit to read your words.

Thank you so much for your comment, and for taking the time to read my article. I only came to Christianity a couple of years ago, and very much for the reasons you laid out. I started to find it difficult to listen to claims of compassion for some groups while hating other groups, which I don't think is psychologically coherent and came across as completely fake.

The key factor for me was the realisation that, as Christians, we are not meant to be part of the world, but set apart from it. That helped me because whenever I would socialise, I would hear so much ego, lies, self-deceit, judgement and hatred of others, and talk about wealth and status.

In the same vein, I also realised that everything the sate tells us is untrue as well, so we are surrounded by it, and when you see the type of people that really run our countries, the agendas, divisions, hatred and nonsense they push, and how that correlates with what scripture tells us about who really runs the world, I decided to make the effort to form a relationship with God. Ever since, everything has made sense, no gaslighting works anymore, I know this is a spiritual battle, no political sides, just freedom to be me and to live in a peace I have never had before.
