What I replace Christianity with: Abraham Piper
"I don't have to be anything" AP
I think these words from Abraham Piper are the sweetest breath of fresh air for me. I have indicated before that I struggle with a label to define who I am, so I currently am okay with what I'm not... until I figure out who I am. AP is okay with not having to be labeled anything. I like that.
Is god necessary for morality? : Abraham Piper
What I appreciate about AP's videos is they are short and too the point. He doesn't waste words. Sometimes all one needs is a swift kick in the pants. AP provides that. He takes common misunderstandings and in one minute deflates them. I would hope they don't reach deaf ears.
You can leave Christianity without taking it seriously : Abraham Piper
My biggest struggle with my departure from Christianity has been my people and their responses or my imagined responses. I want to believe that it's not my responsibility to convince anyone that I am okay the way I am processing life. Maybe I have bought into the lie that I am on trial now. Maybe I'm not. Thank you AP.
Almost nobody believes in a literal hell. : Abraham Piper
"Their core humanity won't allow them" AP
I am thankful for that. I am thankful that my people are human at their core. It's why I haven't got the hell speech from the people that know I've left Christianity. What AP says makes sense. There are a lot of things that doctrine and dogma say, but the humans have something doctrine and dogma don't have... compassion and a heart.
I would invite you, if you need something quick and thought provoking to check out Abraham Piper's Youtube Channel. It doesn't take a lot of words to activate one's thinking muscle. He's real good at getting a brain to think.
