I told myself once that I wouldn't delete my blog posts, but I did delete two of my more recent ones. I was recently going through some denominationaly shenaniganry (basically inquiry into Christian denominations), but I think it's better to keep that topic between myself and friends, since I don't think my flailing about is very helpful towards others on this topic.

I still figure on probably making blog posts on faith-based topics, but I think it'd be better for me to do so when I'm on more... solid ground theologically speaking? Rather than this odd limbo state I currently find myself in. Rest assured my faith remains firm regardless, but, ech, I don't want to drag people I don't know too well into my confusion on other matters.

I thought those posts were fairly interesting, especially since I myself don't have a denomination and am left to figure that all out on my own (and have seen similar helpfulness in tradition) but that reasoning is fair! I hope it all bodes well for you ^^

@flying-with-quills I feel ya. It's not a fun position to be in. I definitely would recommend not getting so lost in denominational particulars that you lose sight of the basic truths of the faith and Gospel. Remain in prayer and continue to read the Scriptures as you search! Your sentiment is much appreciated. I'm in a better spot now than before, and have at least narrowed myself down to Protestantism.

It is okay to change your mind, and it is great to change it to the better believes.. I hope you are feeling better at least.. will read your posts and tell you my opinion.. I changed my opinions a lot throughout the years, so I really feel what you are going through...

Totally respect your privacy, though I admit I am interested to know what the discussion was like. I went through a kind of wild faith journey; raised Episcopal originally, then non-denominational for several years, then irreligious, then broadly delving into paganism and occult, until inevitably ending up in Orthodox Christianity. So, I'm always interested to hear other people's tales or ongoing journeys.

@reaganlodge It was moreso that I've had multiple conversations with friends and family along the way, so I'd have to make a summary of points or something kekek. Your journey seems an interesting one though. As for myself, I was raised Christian but didn't seek God earnestly until I had fallen into a serious sin, but my beliefs were poorly defined and erroneous until I met with other Christians online.

I could definitely be a tad more specific, but I'm not too good at keeping a long story short, and the Neocities comment character limit is quite low. Long and short of it is was that I was very much a boat being tossed about by every wave and wind until I met other Christians.

Sorry only just saw your comment -- thank you, I appreciate it ^^;; It's been a few days since I wrote that depressed rambling but I finally did some things I've needed to do and I'm a tad more calm. A very, very mature and kind of friend is also trying to help me be in God more, as much as one can without a church. He's the most consistant thing in my life atm so hopefully that bodes well.

No worries! Your friend sounds rad, and glad to hear he's helping you out. The Lord bless and keep you both.

sorry for that, I think I used a kind of portion of a slang or so but the wrong way... but anyway I meant, if there are any chances you have do your job immediately before the chance goes away..

Y'know those links on my navbar that didn't link to any pages at all for... 2 years? Well, ONE of them works now. "Starfaring Strangers" now links to a webcomic site, and I got one (1) page done. The actual site will need more work and the comic itself is just a title page (so far), but it's a start!!

Thank you for the kind message; I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. Things have been just, as they are right now, but your sentiments cheer me a little. I hope you yourself are doing okay as well ^^;;

Oh. I just realized, I was going to answer emails before releasing this. Oh well; I'm sorry for the silence, I did finally make that layout and I did most of the work a while ago actually. Just... *gestures vaguely*

YOU HAVE RETURNED. New page looks nice. There's nothing wrong with expressing melancholy either. Life is tough and it can help others that are struggling to know that they're not abnormal, or alone, for struggling. Glad to see you again in any case.

I can comment as someone who moved from Evangelical to Catholic. I'm still friends with the Evangelicals who brought me into the faith, but I don't see them for church because the Church you know is true is the church you go to. In the end, you should be a brother to all men, but you also can't serve two masters.

A good take, and much appreciated. Interestingly most of the brothers and sisters in Christ I was referring to are online, so going to a different church itself wouldn't impact our relationship in that way. Further research seems to indicate nuance within the Orthodox view, so my initial struggle may be because of my tendency to view things as black-and-white.
