The app for independent voices

Even people who appear to have no values care about things, even if it's not other people but their dog. I have a problem with various cults that society deems normal. I can't fully engage with people as if their cult is mine, but I can often find something to relate to them with, if only the weather. I can't relate with most people as if their whole shtick is my shtick. Never could (Asperger's you know), but even on the level of something like gardening, or fishing, or hikes in the woods I can talk to a lot of folks for a surprising amount of time, and ignore their cults.

For instance, I see a lot of good in Christians and Christianity, but it's not possible for me to agree with their whole crazy stuff. Mind you, I've studied religions (including Christianity) extensively. It's not sane to say they're all ultimately the same (they're not), but finding the good, though it takes a bit of work, works in the short term. And that may be enough.
