Anyone else not super religious? I could see there being some higher power with god-like abilities but don’t believe in the god of the Bible.

I don’t see a reason to 🤷‍♀️ In a world with thousands of gods and religions I see no reason to think the “Bible one” is more real than the all the others just because the place I grew up in thinks so. I found other ways of making sense of the world.

We have fairies and leprechauns, and trolls, and dragons we’ve made into fun, fictional mythical creatures but they were serious religious deities to former pagan religions. I guess the way most people see those is how I see Christianity. It still has parts I can agree with and a tangible impact on the world but I don’t see the saints, angels, trinity, original sin, etc. as any more real than them.

You should look into Holy Orthodoxy.

Sorry if that came up as random lol. I’m just saying there are videos out there that address some of your indirect questions you had above that could offer a better perspective. Asking “why” in your case is a start.

I don’t have any indirect questions? You asked why I don’t believe in the god of Christianity and I answered. I’m not secretly trying to be convinced to follow your version as an alternative lol.

Holy Orthodoxy is another version of Christianity—albeit a much older one. My why question was intended to know what your motivation for suggesting it was. Based on your answer it seems you think I needed help finding a religion to address indirect questions I didn’t actually have. I’m assuming you did that because you follow it or are fond of it but maybe I’m wrong. 🤷‍♀️
