Uhhh so I'd say I believe there's a God out there and that I'm a Christian. A lukewarm Christian.. ugh and I feel a bit crappy for it but there's no point in overthinking about something I can fix. (ahem I'm still gonna continue) Anyways, I've noticed I have a lack of motivation when it comes to going to church and reading the bible. Going to church kinda feels like a chore to me and whenever I read the bible it's always when I'm feeling negative and I'm desperate for the word of God. I sin and sometimes I know it's a sin but do it anyways. Music especially makes me feel like it doesn't align with my religion but what the heck I still listen to it anyways. It's so random and I've denied relating to it but I have this one quote suck in my head I made up, (I think I did unless another person has already said it.) "Religion was never a band I could get myself into." I honestly don't feel totally disconnected from God, maybe when I'm older and more mature I can build a connection and passion for religion because that's how it was for my mom. When she was my age she didn't really care for church. I love God and he's the reason I am where I am today, but gosh I SUCK practicing and preaching.. uh so yeh ermmmm writing this makes me realize how much I've revolved myself around music..idk if its in a unhealthy way uh oh
wuh oh

It really depends on whether you value knowledge of the Bible or the community more because you very often cannot balance both. The former can be pretty rewarding if you're dedicated enough to try and learn the original Latin, Greek, and/or Hebrew and read the writings of Martin Luther and the people trying to refute him. The latter is more rewarding if you're in a tolerant and very communal church that's not mired in paranoia, rules, or trying to rope members into MLMs.
