I Am the Black Sheep of the Family

I have no problem with thinking different. That's just who I am. And what i stand for is the pure God honest truth. I can go on and on with my family about what I've learned and they'll never get out of the hole their in. Too prideful. Old and set in their ways. They're not about to listen to a young one like me. Now how is it that your own child is wiser than you?? Must be embarrassing i know. So i keep my distance. Living about a thousand miles from em. I love em but don't miss em 'cause We're all spiritually connected in some way. We cannot be destroyed unless we allow ourselves to be, remember that.
But most people don't get me.
Most people would skim past wise words like they do when they're told to read scripture, they just cannot picture the scenes, most churches aren't exposing any deep truth, life and soul saving truth. People hate the truth, even church folks, that's why i don't attend those... Grandma used to ask me "why don't u come to church anymore? Has the devil got you?"

Little does she know I had a dream about her being oblivious to the darkness around her... If anything she's the one who's blinded by that religiosity and self righteousness.
Little does she know I've talked to God for hours, and prayed for her and i didn't need to presumptiously tell her i did so. I keep it in my heart. Little does she know God's guided me throughout my painful life experiences, has led me to find some remarkable people help me get through. If it wasn't for His Wisdom I don't know where I'd be, certainly not writing this right now. And this is coming from a former atheist/agnostic who was raised Catholic.
I am an atheist and yet have a sort of respect for the catholic church, it's just that in my time outside of christianity I've become more aware of the bible than at any point when I considered myself christian.

Now I look at it and I see that most of the problematic elements of the bible that I was not able to reconcile to my views came from the alleged apostle paul and that modern churches have become Dens of Hatred against the oppressed minorities that made me unable to square my heart with christianity.

For all the women who hate the bible and god all I want to say to you is simply I do too when I view this alleged god through the alleged apostle paul's eyes.

To be blunt most of the Biblical misogyny, the homophobia, etc that exist in the new testament comes from Paul himself and none of the others and what do you know except that the modern church reveres this charalatan as their highest saint of all, much like the stories of how Satan Thought of himself as most high, higher than even "The Lord."

Well the church has held paul up and given him that honor, they don't honor jesus's words, they follow paul even when he contradicts jesus by 180 degrees....

and the Catholics well, they don't stomach that Sola Fida Crap which means that they basically expect works of faith from their congregants...

Which means even as an atheist most of the christian mercy I've ever received has come from catholics.
