Oh gods, this hits too close to home, at some point I joined the church choir to try to make peace with religion, but the closer I got to music the more it made me realize I wasn't a religious person, the music was just comforting, I'm glad to see more people share a similar feeling
Good timing on this one. I was wrapping Christmas presents earlier this week and out of nowhere an Audio Adrenaline song from my Evangelic teen days popped into my head with full lyrics from 1999.
I've been agnostic for many years now, but I still have binders of Christian rock CDs I can't bear to part with because they are so representative of a place and time for me.
Having grown up in the Evangelic church in the peak of purity culture, I have a lot baggage from my experience, especially as a baby queer, but also some fond memories of the inter-generational community that forms in churches, something that is hard to find outside of it.
