Meanwhile, I’m dealing with parents that believe in God, Jesus and the holy trinity while claiming they’re not religious.
Here’s how that works: First, you get preachers to redefine “religion” to mean “following the Biblical laws”, then you get them to talk about how Jesus did not come to “abolish Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”, which somehow means the old laws (don’t eat shellfish, don’t wear clothes made of mixed materials, etc) don’t apply anymore??? Anyway, Jesus said “until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”, but ye olde laws don’t apply, and my parents are not-religious Christians.
Oh well, at least they’re some of the most loving human beings that ever walked this earth, so if this is the worst I’ve got to complain about, then my life isn’t that bad 😂
They’re not “religious” by their own definition, but it’s not the definition the rest of the world uses, so it’s meaningless. But as long as they’re not assholes they can believe what they want!
