Since it's been removed I pulled the post here:
"sorry for repost but the last title was too political so it got taken down
im currently 17 and pretty much all my life i have demanded economic prosperity and for politics to not waste their time on social issues that dont really matter.
but ever since i took my first tab, i have begun considering leftist ideology, such as free healthcare, reformation to education, taxing the rich, affordable housing, and putting a focus on environmental clense.
this current mindset i am being uncontrollably pushed towards is really scary, as i am becoming the type of person i wouldve bullied online a year ago
what do should i give up lsd so i can try and manage this political shift of mine or embrace the change"
And this is exactly why I call bullshit on a lot of so-called "All-American Christians".
I'd argue that Christian values led me to the left. I see prejudice and bigotry as a form of arrogance and therefore de-generacy, I see the destruction of the environment as de-generacy as it is ruining a divine work of art for philistinic decadence, I also have a strong amount of admiration for the advances in science, literature, etc done by Christianity: (Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel, the Bible shaped literature as we know it, etc.), and not even all "Americanized" Christianity is bad, as transcendentalist Chrisitianity is one of the best subsections and that was born right here in the states. Finally, French and Irish history has also influenced my leftism, even though both are global north.
