my solution, hopefully a step forward
I am no longer a Christian. I think I have found a solution to my static mind. To myself, it is obvious that I no longer accept the views I once did. I might have taken those views for granted accepting the category of christian on my mind, but now that I can't remember with clarity the reasons I made the logical leap to accepting the Christian views as my own, I should no longer call myself a Christian, not that I really ever have except for a few years of my life (probably around 8th, 9th and 10 grade)(another side note: I can't really lie to other people, and it's much harder for me to lie to myself. I just ignore things I guess.. put them off). I think by accepting the Christian views as my own, I stopped searching for truth, and accepted that I had found it, and no more searching was necessary, a mistake I hopefully won't make again, because in order to continually accept truth, I would have to continually live in the truth that I have found and constantly remind myself why I believe what I believe. I think it necessary for me to ditch the prepackaged, easy belief system I've been clinging on to for much too long and start over, hopefully leaving my biases and static, unmotivated mind behind. I think I'm way over-simplifying my mind, but it's close enough.
