Bridging the Gap Between Believers and Skeptics
Who has influenced your spiritual journey? And how did they influence you?
I would say Aaron White, the Unitarian Universalist minister of Dallas, is one of my influencers. As well as my friend @dannerz .
-They helped me understand that being in right relation works out better than being right about all my beliefs.
Baha'u'llah is an influencer, as well as @Trailblazer and @InvestigateTruth who has helped me understand his scripture to better detail.
-He taught me the value of monotheism and helped me understand the God of various religions better.
A big one would be Octavia E Butler and her character Lauren Olamina, which in effect created the religion of Earthseed, has influenced me.
-I now identity with the syntheist movement which I believe Earthseed is a part of, and Lauren and I came to the same epiphany at a young age.
Martine Rothblatt of Terasem and Guilio Prisco of Turing Church are huge influencers too.
-The Terasem movement led me to understand that there are many religious and spiritual transhumanists out there, and that I wasn't alone.
Whoever invented the idea of entire sanctification, inner divinity, exaltation or theosis has been a huge influence to me too.
-Which really began the idea of Exaltism, the belief that all people and the things around them can be exalted or have increased divinity over time.
Lastly, I would like to say that I myself am my own biggest self-influence. There are some beliefs I hold that almost nobody believes in, including any of people I know as religious influencers. My futurist Christianity beliefs, trinitarian pantheist views and the ten divine attributes are uniquely my own.
You can list religions who have influenced you, but I'm more or less looking for individual people who have influenced your spiritual journey. Who was it and how did they influence you? Let us know below.
