I guess I'm just looking for comfort and sympathy.
In my conversations and Bible studies with people lately, I've really been noticing people who have beliefs that are cherry picked, that aren't really thought out, that aren't rationalized, and so on. It's like a spirituality where anyone can believe anything, and there's no helping someone see otherwise, even within Christianity.
I know this is the nature of religion, and I appreciate diversity, but things seem way off kilter right now. It's like basic Biblical fundamentals are being replaced with "this is how I see the Bible, and I don't care about seeing it any other way."
It's like we have to lay a basic foundation again, but many people don't agree about that foundation or even feel the need to have one.
I always look for unity in diversity, but some things make me question where we are heading spiritually.
I guess I'm trying to say orthodoxy doesn't seem to matter to many people today.
