Well, no. I'm not a wolf in sheep's clothing or an anti-Christian posing as a Christian. You see, I still believe that Christ was literally God in the flesh, and He was literally crucified and buried, and literally rose from the dead three days later to wash away our sins and serve as an example to the world. I still believe miracles literally happen. I still believe that Christians ought to abstain from certain things, such as drunkenness and Ouija boards and violence, and strive to become more like Christ even though we’ll never be anywhere like Him in our fleshy bodies. I still believe in a literal spiritual realm, and in a literal spiritual afterlife. Just like my conservative family members. 

I just happen to disagree with many of the non-essential things my conservative (and progressive) brothers and sisters believe, which is totally okay with me. I don't believe that I know everything, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong, stupid, and going to hell. I don’t believe my beliefs ought to be shoved down others’ throats or used to shame and oppress people, especially since I can guarantee many of my beliefs and views will change every five years or so. Hell, I have a hard time just sharing them with others, not just because I am afraid of making them upset or misrepresenting things, but also because in Matthew 6 and 7, Jesus specifically said that we ought to keep matters of faith just between us and God. I’m not yet sure how that applies to me. Should I keep quiet and pray only silently or behind closed doors? Or, is it okay to open my mouth sometimes? Where is the healthy balance?

I guess I’ll eventually figure out whether or not I’m sinning at the moment. But, I don’t feel like the Holy Spirit is convicting me of any wrongdoing. If anything, I feel like I'm being led to write this for others from all walks of life to read.
