      Yeah one of the ways evangelical Christianity messes you up is it actively pushes you to rewrite history and memory They give you a universal life script (sin, repentance, salvation) and tell you to remember your life that wayhttps://twitter.com/mcjulie/status/1348682609384067072 …

      McJulie is writing the next book @mcjulie
      My own experience as an evangelical leads me to say -- they always mean it, but what you don't know is whether it's something they genuinely felt *on that day* https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1348621218216243201 …

      And because so much of this narrative is internal and invisible it's really easy to do You get tons of extremely pat narratives about how anything that went wrong in your life was a test or a punishment for unaddressed sin, and then God took care of it as soon as you prayed

      This is just why I'm generally averse to "spirituality" in this vein even divorced from theology It is very important to understand, as the writer of Ecclesiastes did, that everything does NOT happen for a reason

      The sense of control and comfort people get from having something to thank when things go well is not, in my view, worth the burden of being Job and being stuck looking for a reason when things go wrong

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          Yeah. I think it's actually why spiritual-but-not-religious is WORSE than most forms of organized religion. It means you can cheat without ever having a system to hold yourself accountable.

          Replying to @mssilverstein @arthur_affect

          Modern evangelical Christianity is far closer to that than it is to say, the Catholic Church. Doctrine, theology, morality - all adaptable moment by moment, with no structure to do anything about it.

          bugs me endlessly that evangelicals camp on "everything happens for a reason, God is in control🤗" when Ecclesiastes and Job are RIGHT THERE like "damn man, sometimes shit just be that way huh?"
