I feel like I need to be honest about something because a lot of people have followed me recently who are what I’ll call Proper Christians in that they really deeply believe in all of it and talk about Jesus and the gospel and such a whole lot and that’s...definitely not me.

I feel like my adjacency and friendship with some Proper Christians maybe made people think I was one but I’m probably closer to an agnostic than anything. Faith is a real struggle for me. And as far as theology goes, I have three degrees in it and, at best, I’m deeply suspicious

of it as a discipline (for a lot of reasons that won’t fit in a thread on twitter). Like, I still go to church and I’m Episcopalian but that’s because I’m not totally willing to write off the communal aspect of things and because I still think there’s some sort of metaphysical

reality beyond our own even I’m less convinced that Christianity is the only way to access that reality.

So, I don’t know. I guess this is my disclaimer that most of what I talk about when I talk about religion and theology is going to probably be a bit more critical and

maybe even what you’d consider “secular” than what you’re looking for. My relationship to faith and religion is complicated at best. Which is also probably why I get really impatient with weird Christian twitter’s proclivity to dunk on stuff like process theology or whatever

because ultimately I find that stuff compelling and helpful and it feels like you’re dunking specifically on me and people like me. People trying to make sense of what often feels like a senseless god or faith.

Anyway. That’s all. Sorry for the thread.
