Christian preacher got me down in the dumps at pride today. I’m a strong pantheist and Nothing could waver my faith, but how is morality justified like murder and stuff?

So since the Pharaoh was seen as the divine manifestation of Horus on earth and he commanded slavery, is it okay if we say the Gods were in error with this judgement?

I have trauma with christianity in the past and I have trouble getting rid of it for good. A catholic asked me why I turned away and I gave him my reasons and he said "sounds like you were never catholic in the first place." that was strike one. He then proceeded to feel "sorry" that my friend's aunts were in a happy lesbian marriage. That was strike two. The final strike was when he said I was a pagan larp because I didn't practice human sacrifice. (technically he was a larp too because he doesn't pracice god-allowed slavery.) I try to be tolerant and kind to christians but I honestly feel like I'm at my wits end. I try to be friends and to respect their traditions (except the bigoted ones, of course.) But I feel like they will forever hate and bash people who are of different sexualities/religions and won't convert. I looked at the biblical evidence and after everything and after all the studies I reject it. But I WANT to be friends and I WANT to coexist kindly. I have the patience of a saint, but tonight just hit different and it wasn't positive...

Hello! So I’m trying to inquire into orthodox Christianity (Greek or Coptic) but I don’t want to leave my past spiritualities behind. They really helped me improve, grow, and understand people who are different than I am and my friends noticed a vast improvement in my moral character in the last six months. (I was a grumpy atheist before who left catholicism.) I’ve gotten mixed reactions from my orthodox friends (two good & two bad) and I want to stay the way I am while incorporating orthodox Christianity into my spiritual path. I’m a part of the practicing people who attempt (with knowledge and time) to reconstruct the ancient Egyptian religion and its a massive achievement of mine I’m proud of. I’m a high functioning autistic guy who knows what’s bad for himself and I felt miserable with monotheism when I was raised catholic and I know for a fact I’ll be miserable with it now. when I have a bad experience, it sticks with me forever. So I have three options on my back with this.

Either throw out my character development and be a monotheistic orthodox Christian and miserable.

Integrate orthodoxy into my spiritual path and find even more inner peace and new community

Ditch orthodoxy all together and potentially lose all my new friends while maintaining reconstruction of the ancient Egyptian faith.

The reason why the Coptic church is in my potential picks is because the Coptic church is the only institution outside of study and academics that’s keeping the wonderful Coptic language which is a vital part of my kemetic worship alive. I just need help and support with all this as it’s really stressing me out tonight…

I personally like it because you can type whatever you want and it has slow sound-outs that help me learn. I hope this is okay.

Hello! I didn’t really know where to start, so I arrived here. What are the best apps (IOS) for learning the coptic language (Bohairic & Sahidic)?
