Re: Crisis of faith-iness

Okay, so I'm going to come at this from maybe a different angle?

I'm a polytheist, a Heathen, and the people who identify as belonging to my religion range from atheists to agnostics to devout followers of a patron god. Some are even a combination of these things. Some are hard polytheists (like me), and some are soft polytheists. All of these ways of approaching it are equally valid and generally accepted, and even attested to in our history and mythology.

Your belief means whatever YOU want it to mean. If you don't feel Jesus is your personal savior, that's fine. Maybe someone else is your personal savior. Maybe no one is, and it's just a larger benevolent force. It doesn't matter unless YOU decide it does.

Faith isn't pointless without religion. Lots of people have faith but aren't a follower of a strict religion. (And lots of followers of a religion don't have faith.) If you don't want to do the Praise Jesus evangelism thing, you don't have to. If you want to do something but don't know what that would be, there's lots of options for that, too.

There are literally SO MANY spiritual paths in the world that don't require you to make proclamations or have feelings.

Holy crap! A heathen who doesn't have a big chip on their shoulder about hard polytheism!
