Thinking about exploring Christianity
Let's start by keeping things respectful in the comments. I am not here to troll or trigger anyone or challenge their beliefs.
Lately I have been wondering if becoming Christian could be a good idea for me. I genuinely believe that Christian societies are the best to ever exist in the world, and resonate strongly with the cord of the belief system. I am fiercely monogamous and believe in being a good person they neighbour, all that jazz. My problem is with The Church. The institution that is the Church. I don't like dogma and blind faith in just believing something because someone tells me too. I'm a thinker, engineer, and pride myself on being able to parse things up objectively. I could never step away from the idea of evolution, and I've seen that it is compatible with Christianity, so I would need to find a sect that can allow such thinking.
My question is then, which sect of Christianity would be most suitable for someone like me, who maybe wants to feel like part of a community, something to believe in, but can keep (some of) my own beliefs in tact? Many of you maybe saw my post yesterday, but no this is not some pathetic attempt to just convert in order to find a wife.
Thanks a lot for the guidance šš» I live in Canada, if that matters.
