This one has been going in my kind for a while so I’m just asking out

Is it weird for a person to have their own religious beliefs system? Like they don’t adhere to a said religion and just has theirs own beliefs system , for example : a bit of Christian and paganist beliefs that someone personally upholds but doesn’t adhere to neither of these religions, just their own beliefs system

    Pretty much everyone has their own unique blend of beliefs. Like. Most Christian’s have their things they do or don’t believe, even if there’s a shared framework.

    Like, ask 10 Christian’s what the hell the trinity is, you’ll get 20 different and usually mutually contradictory answers.

    Or about hell and who goes and for how long.

      Yeah. The bible is literally unbelievable, it contradicts itself. Every “believer” has their own headcanon.

        And you’ll notice that believers will have the vaguest excuses "god works in mysterious ways “we aren’t meant to understand god’s will” “god has a plan”. It’s all saying we don’t know how things work, but at the same time they will tell you they know god is real. To be a true believer you need to throw logic out the window and play by your own rules. It’s why the hardcore ones are so opinionated and self righteous. They deluded themselves into believing they have a divine connection and know things that they’ve never learned.
