grew up evangelical christian

Probably played into my confusion / misunderstanding. I'm still a Christian, but I mean like I can't just ignore science. Some of the things Evangelicals believe is just so blatantly dumb.

I'm OK with this reality and will now adopt it as my own.

So you believe that a specific man from Galilee in Judea was the embodied form of the almighty creator of the universe, killed as a sacrifice to cleanse humanity's immortal souls of the impurities that would eternally separate them from communion with their creator?

That's what I remember from Sunday school, and just like you I don't see anything in there about a super young Earth, or contemporary dinosaurs, or God hates ***s, or embryos are people. Evangelicals really do like to toss whatever they feel like on top of the core premise, don't they?

Good on ya, friend, for not falling for their bullcrap! 👍 All that core premise stuff is pretty cool, though.
