I have seen these seemingly contradictory views particularly from Muslim comrades. However, this is not limited to them.

This post is a genuine question not a rant, so please treat it as such.

    I was raised in a Christian cult. I was reading the Bible, and Paul explicitly said the following was his opinion, not inspired by God. Meanwhile, the cult was telling us he was just being humble, and it was indeed the word of God.

    It was pretty confusing from a literal-minded, autistic kid perspective

    I sorta left it to fulfill my life purpose as a dirty, heretic commie, I guess? Still got close family members trapped in it, sadly.
