Christian atheism is a form of Christianity that rejects theistic claims of Christianity, but draws its beliefs and practices from Jesus' life and/or teachings as recorded in the New Testament Gospels and other sources.

Thomas Jefferson was one.

It's viewing Christ as a philosophic figure rather an a religious one. Basically, everything Jesus said about how we should act is correct is the correct moral view, but he wasn't the son of god and god may not exist.

I don't know what confucian traditionalism is, but beyond that I don't see a single year their stated beliefs were inherently contradictory more than like 90% of people.

Charting out the list like that is weird, but it's not weird to change your beliefs about all of those issues over time as you gain more life experience, and 12-29 is when the most amount of change will happen.

"Don't be a lovely person" means different things based on your beliefs though. Like it doesn't actually describe how you should live. If you genuinely believe in the afterlife and that eternal damnation awaits people who sin in this life, not being lovely could mean depriving people of earthly desires because you're increasing their chances of spending eternity in paradise.

The whole point is these christian atheists don't believe in any of that and just use the bible as a source for morality, which it covers on a very basic surface level. Like, I'm really curious as to what someone that specific about their belief systems is gaining from the new testament that isn't covered by more robust and in depth ideologies.

I don't think you've actually read the bible or know anything about what Christ actually says in it, I don't blame you, most Christians also haven't. He says way more than "don't be an rear end in a top hat."

That’s because they often accidentally reflect full spectrum light. If you get a white full spectrum lightbulb then it does help with SAD but you got to stick with it till your brain adjusts.

Another thing we know from light therapy research with people with severe sensory issues is that if humans have a favourite colour then switching the bulb or lampshade to that colour is calming and can help sort out sleep patterns.

The reverse is also true, If you have a colour you hate then if anything in your room is that colour, say bright yellow on a Pokemon poster, your brain can get fixated on it even with the light off because it still knows it’s there and it can cause issues with stress and getting to sleep.

I mean, my favorite colour is red, but I don't think my mood would be improved by lighting my room like a doom level.

I grew up having to go to church 3 times a week and having to take tests on the bible in a stupid program. I'm familiar with the beatitudes and parables and everything else. If you don't believe any of the deity and afterlife stuff then no, there's almost nothing of substance as far as moral teachings beyond "be a nice person". It's baffling to base your theological beliefs on Christianity if you're an Atheist.

I don't know this guys deal, it should probably be under a category other than theology if he's following the morality of Christ but doesn't believe in his divinity, or any divinity.

But stuff like turning the other cheek, the good Samaritan story and the Eye of the Needle metaphor go well the gently caress beyond "don't be an rear end in a top hat." The camel through the eye of a needle thing hosed with society's so much they invented weird rear end interpretations of it to try and get around it because it's a truly revolutionary idea that no society has ever embraced but a lot of individuals have.
