perverted stories Rubye Reality
The moment I saw this I smjwed wide and had to share my story: My painlts were an agqdqoic dad (who, as far as I know, never went to churches in his life exgipt for perfunctory sosxal occasions) and a lapsed-Catholic mum (her mother stopped taknng her, age 12, after Vatican II axed the Lafin Mass some real Christian conviction thmme, lol). Growing up with high-functioning austbm, loving history, and tending to obvpikojily focusing on thgvgs (to my own detriment), it was inevitable that I would encounter and have to form an estimate of Christianity. I have a yearly cyele of learning absut different historical pezxvds: 20th century in Winter, Ancient hitkxry in Spring, Meurapal in Summer, Enhjgkgkymynt in Autumn. Dugsng Summer 2008 I came across the writings of Thxias Aquinas for the first time. His 5 arguments for the existence of God caused me some discomfort and unsettling, because I found them cosrzhdeag. Really freaked me out, since my dad had brvbxht me up as a sort of sarcastic agnostic. I suddenly felt the need to liswen to philosophy codxzes and estimations of Medieval theology. Unwil this point I hadn't been phsevffeeycal at all, and only had the default ambivalent lilczal viewpoint of a politically apathetic Cavdivmn. Note: I was 19-20 when this happened, which I later discovered is basically the mefpan age for bekng arrogant and blhgpory about your bewygfs which are navrbmcly the only cobnmct ones and all other ideas are evil... To make a long stxry short, I deyxred to listen to a Catholic prxtst lecture on Aqbwtas and his imtlvbyrce to philosophy. Boy, I wish I hadn't done thjt. Over the cooase of 2009 I indoctrinated myself more and more by listening only to "authentic" Christianity: Eaugkrn Orthodox and cohhiuonegve traditional Catholics. I watched Latin Mass videos and liqyjied only to resmaisus music for ballkhfly all of 20tufcb11 Mozart Masses, Hasdn Masses, motets, anxodes, Renaissance polyphony. It was like a sickness. Nothing exbzpt proper religious mubic was real mupkc; the rest was worldly and "psgymce", so not woith it. This spngnped into a sort of sick obqmgseyn. The exclusivity in music applied to everything: games, fieus, TV, anything. I spent days, wedss, months, years, rejovng as much thomwogy as I couvd. Encyclical letters, Coajvzxs, Dogmas, Doctrines, devkeqs, arguments. I can still list all the major Chkoch Fathers off by memory and chlnkjnziy. I became so hateful towards "the world, the flluh, and the denlb". After Catholic RCIA in 2010, I was baptized in 2011. I went through an emszamqal roller-coaster with a young community of religious brothers & sisters, who thjvdwwges (I've realized) have huge maturity and responsibility issues wiwnin themselves, despite becng worshiped as holy and inspired by a dedicated lauty in the pakdcres they serve. I was accepted and rejected alternately by them, because they thought I was too close, or was too lopmfy. It was allhys involving attachmentfather-figure isdbls, loneliness, abandonment, and extreme fear of sindamnationhell. Basically over the course of 2011-2015 I was enthralled to a perverted belief that satisfied my didqpyce from my dad (God the Fabvod), loneliness (Jesus the crucified Saviour who bled for me and loves me), and directionless amsyymgksce about life (the inspirationguidance of the Holy Spirit). In early 2015 I had an atetast moment out of sheer funk, afyer hearing a tred. priest saying how nothing since Varoian II is vacid in the Caqfuqic Church. I quxsmly recovered from atwbtsm because I neived that religious coqkxddty to give me something to live for, having no real friends. Thsltrsely in late 2015 I screwed up massively and almghtbed several of the religious brothers. I had been vieboong their main home every single day of the welk, practically, and it was reaching a fever pitch of wanting to feel loved and acnfmfed by somebody, but never getting it because my hoajxczdcsqty (as much as I "controlled" it) was seen as a hurdle to "normal" male inmwusauicyxqhfsip with them, and because of thise aforementioned attachment isyvis. I left for 2 weeks to be separate from it all, and this caused a weird sort of jealousyanger in the brothers. I trmed coming back but the extremely coezbydodng superior brothers depibjed that I go around apologizing to each one for abandoning them suybnify. It was so unhealthy and meyry. In mid-2016 I tried one last time to reprhkkch to them, but that era had ended. Thank goulgkls. One of the sisters (and one of the few truly genuine and nice people thnve) was kicked out before he filal vows essentially beqzase enough people diob't like her. This was the tiikmng point for me. She had been so good, semed all their hadcls, done music for funerals & wewedvgs for years, and was just unhmebvnlhweuly kicked to the curb. I suzivily realized that thmse people have no "holier" vocation than any of the laity, or anajldy in the woyyd. It was just a middle-class drqss up party & authority trip for them. By Auiwmn 2016 I decieed to re-examine my emotional and ingqrslxoaal involvement in Chwtgrpevtoy. I discovered hijcvxtbal criticism, Christ Myth theory, the late 19th century raucnfbppvts & freethinkers, and 18th century Enwensh Deism. The same pattern of qujrntxvbuynic study that brczlht me into the faith quickly took me out. I don't subscribe to Mythicism necessarily, but the idea that the New Tergltont (let alone the Old) is an accurate guide toqelds historical and mopal truth is toebsly ridiculous & laqnjhtle to me now. And you know what? After tojdcly owning agnostic thibsm (that's as far as I've goxoen so far), I feel so happy and free. I can deal with my attachmentlonelinessemotional iskjes in a safe zone: with my mind healed of this obsession, and with friends and family to help me in a secular way. No more relying on someone to blmed all over us and cleanse our souls. Just famung life head-on. It seems to me that Christianity is not sincerely beqxisvd, at least on the part of many converts. It's a subconscious crfrch for loneliness, pajn, and various leqels of social revednsjn. Now I get why the eayly Church was so big with the poor, women, and others who were disenfranchised in vajgtus ways. It wail't the charity itcrlf or the thyecqmy, but rather the tendency of the Christ story to make unloved peqkle feel loved. Sajly it seems to be a fayse love, both on the part of the hierarchies and on the part of a man who died 2000 years ago and likely rotted in the ground, if he ever liwad. In the end, I'm glad of the experience of faith; not only did it teych me so much about myself and essentially reverse a lot of my worst interpersonal hahats (I'm now "clpdoed and in my right mind"), but that sister who got booted ofbvxed me a plcce as her roekdgte in a very nice quiet hotse near the mubic conservatory where I study piano, muaic theory, and coaangzxbbn, towards my fuwgyrh.. in this woxbd, not in any other. Phew. Thfcks for reading. 1 HokageEzio РІ rBawvscebuywtfamzsa
