Jesus started to name the jew before it was cool, and no one is going to fight for pseudo ideals such as "Evolution", "genetic survival and the process of natural selection.", just as no one is going to fight for 2+2=4, nobody is willing to die or sacrifice anything for any of that shit

Faith, god, religion however, that's an entire different story...

If god doesn't exist and you choose to believe in him, you'll eventually lose/have renounced some pleasures, luxury, opportunities to sin. Nothing worth a shit in the end. Now if god does exist, and you choose to believe in him, you not only give yourself an opportunity to infinite gain, such as eternity in heaven, you also avoid exposing yourself to infinite losses, such as eternity in hell.

So you see, from a strict logical standpoint, believing in god, is the reasonable thing to do in the end.

You pride yourself as being smart, rational, "logical", "educated". Reality is that you're none of that. Reality is that you have a fuck you dad issue translating into a rejection of god, and you hide behind pseudo rationalization and atheism as if it was the smart thing to do.

It's all about the meta narrative.

I am agnostic, but I consider myself culturally Christian.

Being a cultural christian is potentially an interesting position to be in. I say potentially because in the end, it always boils down to what you make of it.

You're not totally in the "loop", while not being completely outside of it. You can consider the scriptures, take the scriptures as a point of reference, a framework, source of inspiration/guidance, as in "what do the scriptures have to say about that particular topic", and at the same time it's non binding, since technically, you're not christian, you haven't been baptized, yet. And if you ever do get baptized, it's really going to be something you want, something you choose, not something that has been imposed on you, something you didn't choose, something potentially going against your free will in the end. God gave you free will, he gave you the choice, the opportunity to drive your life the way you see fit, while at the same time, warning you about the consequences if you choose to sin, and sin is defined. But I digress.

So, ultimately, by being a cultural christian, you potentially are in a position to have a "freer" and more authentic relationship to god. Again it depends on what you do with that situation, what you choose to do ultimately. And I'm not advocating for you to run to the next church ASAP to get baptized, to be clear.

There are (many) people, religious people, who seem to believe that, if they do the all the "rituals", get baptized, get married, attend church, celebrate this and that, and do this and that, follow blindly and don't question a thing, they are "scoring points", getting closer to having their ticket to heaven like that. And if they don't do the rituals it's bad for their "divine social credit" score. You've probably met a couple of those already, there's no shortage of people like that attending churches.

I personally think it's a very foolish relationship to god, very superficial and limiting, they are kind of taking god for a fool like that, IMO

There's no indication that John, was baptized, according to the scriptures. And he died before it became a command for the new testament believers.

Does that render John as unworthy? As a lesser christian, of a lesser faith? Rhetorical question of course.

As with many thing, what's important is where your "heart" is, the underlying force guiding your will, if there's anything christianity can teach us it's this, among other things.

So yeah, maybe at some point you'll get baptized and technically become christian, and maybe it's going to be on your death bed, who knows. It's up to you, it's your choice in the end, it's between you and god, first and foremost.
