Necessitated Branching

Balthazzar

N. Germanic Descent
Leaving home isn't always an easy decision, but throwing a kink into the standard is no less troublesome. For this reason, I'm finding myself more and more compelled to venture beyond the confines of my religious upbringing. To title an understanding, unique from the others who have done the same, is what is being placed on me to accomplish. A religious branch, defined and named appropriately, based on an understanding not shared by others belonging to my religious household. I thought "Chrisian Evolutionist" might be appropriate, but I'm not sure if this truly reflects the nature of my stance. In a sense, it most certainly does, but in other ways it may be misleading.

I'm a theist. A general summation and similar, with or without the space between. I'm a theist in that I have faith in God as I understand the term God, and an atheist for the very same reason, holding very similar views as the Dutch philosopher, Baruch Spinoza.

It might help avoid confusion to title a position most accurate to its nature, if only to separate one view from the many others that accompany the households of faith, to which I belong

I'm thinking this might be useful as a foundational association:

"Effective Feild Christian Church" (Modern Christianity)

The implication being true to its nature.

Borrowing from my upbringing and my involvement with many Christian denominations, the premise has a similar purpose to those of the Methodist variant, namely as it relates to the study of the texts and how those who adhere to the principal standards, utilize them in practice.
