I’m not sure if this is the right community to post in (maybe y’all can comment more appropriate ones if that’s the case) but basically, I’m not sure what I believe in spiritually. While I believe in an afterlife and that my loved ones who are no longer here are there I’m uncertain If I believe in god, reincarnation, chakras, etc. I’m uncertain which religion to try to validate this belief that my loved ones are in a better place, but I know that I want life/spiritual guidance, community, and inclusion (both as a Queer person and a general outsider.) I just need some help figuring this part of myself out, is there anyone I can talk to about this? What should I do?
Same here. I was raised a Christian. Luckily the good types, love, community and peace. Then in my teenage years went atheist as I developed the classic Anti religion doctrine that it causes more harm than good. And now as young adult I have rekindled my spiritual side and take inspiration from Islam, Buddhism, Christianity and even Norse paganism and Greek patheon.
I still struggle to actually devote myself to one religion. On one side this keeps me floating and ungrounded. But to actually take the step to go to church etc also doesn’t feel necessary for me. On the other hand it allows me find my own way with God(s).
It depends on what you’re looking for. If you need something in life that really becomes your Red Line, that guides every action, then find a church/community and attend it. If you need a spiritual outlet then stay free forming it and take what works for you.
