I need help to reconcile faith and my open minded values

ok so I long blamed catholicism for my own wrongdoings and i ll be honest I think some church positions are antiquated, im pro LGBTQ, dont care about premarital sex or other forms of sexual activity before marriage I dont care if you cohabitate as long as its two conscenting adults I give no damn for confession and im open to married and women priests but the pain i ve endured in catholic discords is unbearable, here catholics are just cultural and mainline churches are dying so its either catholic or very strict churches id feel prisoner in are there open catholics and progressive catholic discords and do I belong in the church as I am im basically crying for help with this

to add on the post about primacy of conscience

so im a 26 year old man who left catholicism years ago as im an ally, firmly believe in women s ordination and gender equality, I had no idea about this doctrine, I decided to reject the pope and main catholic church and explore old catholicism as my conscience tells me what RCC does is wrong, there have been numerous scandals, abuse, lives destroyed and I cannot stand with this do you think im wrong

I have a question: am I getting too full of myself

so I plan to attend my first adventist service soon and this sub but also the two pastors that where at my local church are a big part of why, despite hesitation, im still drawn to SDA a year later, do you think it would be too crazy to get trained for digital evangelism and perhaps share my story at our version of it is written in quebec, id like to give back to the SDA church cuz even though I havnt yet visited, been a long time I consider SDA and folks have just been amazing

Remade my old covenants of power preset

new rules, some changed countries a lot of content, goes 2000 to 2026

Covenants of Power: Dawn of the Modern Era An alternate modern history where faith, ideology, and power collide on a fractured world stage.

(Millenium Dawn Preset used as base, all credits to the author)

Step into a world shaped not only by politics and wars, but by the visions, convictions, and ambitions of religious movements and revolutionary states. Every divergence from real history opens new possibilities: the CSA survived and expanded westward; California stands as a prosperous, independent republic; India divided between competing governments claiming its legacy; African states rise and fracture under dynastic, religious, and revolutionary forces.

Playable Religions: From historical faiths to newly formed sects, this preset lets you explore global spiritual landscapes:

Tenrikyo, Iglesia Ni Cristo, Unification Church, Unitarian Universalism, Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, LDS Church – familiar faiths navigating an alternate modern world.

Restorationist Judaism – a 20th-century revivalist movement emphasizing ethics, social justice, and a literal God.

Satya Navayana Buddhism – “True Navayana,” combining Ambedkarite principles with ritual, meditation, and global missionary zeal.

Restorationist Zoroastrianism – modern, inclusive, and ethical, resisting clerical authoritarianism while spreading Ahura Mazda’s truth.

Bodhyāna Buddhism – extreme puritan Theravāda sect focused on karmic purification, societal discipline, and missionary expansion.

Reform Messianic Jewish Union – progressive messianic Judaism, welcoming Gentiles, affirming LGBTQ inclusion, and restoring Second Temple ideals.

Lingomba ya Nzambe Moboti – an African Initiated Church wielding territorial control and a full armed wing; only through obedience to Oyamama do believers attain salvation.

Geopolitical Powerhouses & Hotspots:

Confederate States of America – a semi-Western Christian democracy blending southern identity, industrial modernization, and strategic Mexican annexations.

California Republic – a progressive, technocratic settler-state controlling Baja Sonora and Hawaii, leading in tech, culture, and green energy.

Azad Hind Government – socialist, militant, and Navayana-backed, claiming India’s legacy from exile in Sri Lanka under the Bose regime, with insurgent support on the mainland.

Beta Israel – a wealthy African Jewish homeland, blending ancient Ethiopian Judaism with modern parliamentary governance and offshore oil wealth.

Lingomba ya Nzambe Moboti – theocratic military-religious enclave in the Congo, spreading influence across Central Africa and abroad.

Other vibrant states – the Manchu Republic, Kingdom of Choden, Ezo, Ryukyu, Kingdom of Southern Africa, Adventist Liberation Army of Rwanda, State of Menasseh, and more. Each with distinct political, military, and religious identities.

Why Play This Preset:

Witness the interplay of faith, ideology, and power in shaping the modern world.

Command nations, religious movements, or insurgent factions with unique doctrines, technologies, and military structures.

Explore alternative societies: theocratic enclaves, socialist experiments, settler republics, and revolutionary kingdoms.

Balance diplomacy, ideology, and military might as you navigate a globe fractured by both human ambition and divine mandate.

Experience a world where salvation, sovereignty, and survival are intertwined, and where your choices reshape both nations and the hearts of their people.
