i've been going to life group with t lately. life group is once a week at someone's house where we watch a short video and discuss the week's readings. oh, and this is all bible stuff, btw. but it's a casual setting. no one preaches, questions are asked and people give their opinions.
coming into this as a "devout" atheist (i say devout because i'm unwavering in my beliefs), it's really interesting to hear what they're concerned about.last night someone asked what it meant to be a true christian. there are over 40,000 different sects so this is a pretty good question!
...but is it really? there's no "evidence" of which sect, or even which religion, is the true one. so maybe don't waste time wondering what can never be proved. and don't worry about the others; just be sure of yourself. i think as long as you follow your holy book and the basic tenants of your religion you'll probably be just fine. i don't think you can focus too much on the details anyway since even the devil can cite scripture for his purpose and most holy books are written by people, so who knows how much of the original message has been perverted.
god, or whomever, will decide if you get into heaven, or wherever. so live your life without regrets as close as you can to how you think god, or whomever, would approve. that's the best you can do. and honestly, i think that's all god wants.
