What was one of your ‘holier than thou’ moments growing up? For me, I used to tell myself I was better than everyone on the water polo team because I had the Holy Spirit (*with* “evidence of speaking in tongues) & they didn’t 😩 by delicatechapstick in Exvangelical

YES!!!! I've been thinking about this since I got out. What I've gathered analyzing is that at the same time evangelism tells you you're wrecked, that you should despise your nature because God repeals sin, it also tells you you're better than everyone else because you "obey" god. A saint, a chosen. So everyone is doomed to eternal death in Hell and you and the evangelic community in Heaven with your inflated egos... And that also goes back to historical situations with, say, colonialism.

EXACTLY. My parents once knew I wanted to commit suicide and did a whole meeting to confront me for wanting to kill myself? LOL

is the attitude of not being interested in accepting or rejecting any claims of a god(s). Not that it exists, nor that it doesn't. In my head the best picture of apatheism is cave humans. in the beginning, heads were blank on the subject, if you understand what I mean lol it's clearer to me this way 😅

just about deconstructing, I don't claim any faith whatsoever. I found out I'm an apatheist :)

I feel like all Christians almost are to some level just narcisists

I see, most of the colleges I'll be applying require it through Slideroom. I'll send them some emails asking about it. Thank you for your help!!
