Christianity is something special, I recently just converted to it, it's really changed my life.
I am quite glad to hear it! What kind?
I'm not sure if I've decided a denomination quite yet, but I do know I'll have it figured out soon. I'm leaning towards Baptist at the moment!

Why Baptist?

It was a terrible day until I left school. Now I’m on my way to the snow and watching the second To All The Boys I Loved Before
What is?
A movie
And a book but I haven’t read it
The third book is the best imo, but they're all cute! If you like YA with a strong family aspect and good family dynamics, it's a fun and quick read.
Are you Team Kavinsky or Team McClaren lol

It's the first type of church that I've attended that hasn't presented something that I disagree with, or something false, I guess. That church has only told me blatant truth, and supported it well.

That's a very loaded question.

1st one. Why does that even matter if there is such a thing as objective truth?
2nd. How do you know what is true or not?

Is anything truly objective though?
Oh feel free to give us a speech, Jyn.

Nein.
Is anything truly objective though?
Well yes. A water is made out of two hydrogens and one oxygen. It is a truth universally acknowledged that killing someone is evil at least unless you have a very good reason to do so. We may all see the color blue differently, but the color is the same measurement on the spectrum.

I took some 30 minute philosophy classes this week and have been reminded of why I don't really like it.

But what defines a good reason, and what defines evil?

hmm. you spark questions up, I guess this really is thought provoking.

Oh I don't have an answer that I will be so arrogant as to say is The Truth. But that is not necessary as these are merely different examples to point to the same thing.

Everything is true, from a certain point of view.
I think that's what Obi-Wan says, anyways

- I don't really believe there's something that's definitively true, I just believe in certain things for whatever reasons I find. Most times I just see both sides of things, and choose to remain opinion-less.
- I don't. I just simply choose if I think it might be judging by the facts that I know or find out.
Well if that's the case how can you follow Jesus? Is Jesus true? I think so. Mostly because of the eloquence and logic of men smarter than I. But you can't have religion without Truth.
Well that seems like a logical approach, so long as you always remember that you have the capacity to be terribly wrong.

Obi-Wan also said that Only a Sith uses absolutes so…

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."
To be fair, he was right in that instance, because Anakin was being obnoxiously absolute with his "if you're not with me, then you're my enemy!" thing.
But he had just said an absolute! In that same sentence!

- That's actually a great question, and you make quite a lot of sense out of it. I think I follow him for things other than truth, or what truth I could find. If I'm right, I might even be following for healing, with out thankfulness. I very recently began working my way into that aspect of character.
Well I suppose it could be logical to follow a religion for the benefits, but I never could. If I am understanding you correctly (if) then you are not truly a believer. Forgive my frowardness (and forwardness as well).

Forwardness is alright, don't worry. And frowardness? I don't mind that one bit! It's actually a relief to have someone treating me realistically, and I need a little bit more of it in my life. I might not be, or perhaps I may be a false believer. As for now, the facts seem to lead towards falsehood. It takes me a bit to change my thoughts and ideals, however, so it might be a little before I believe, more truly.
My advice, read Mere Christianity. It's a really great and logical book. And also sort of short so there's that too.
