DiVi - The Belief Master!
I just coded this and I've been working on it for a while. It is Beta and still has many bugs, but I'm working to fix it. Originally just a sermon generator, I decided I was going to have it become a resource tool for anyone in any religion or belief system. I am aware that there isn't many beliefs within the tool itself, but I am hoping overtime to add them and polish everything. The reason why this is a special interest for me (I'm AuDHD) is because I grew up learning about different cultures and religions (I myself am a person of color albeit white passing, I have Middle Eastern (Iranian/Israeli/Turkish and Indian) ancestry plus Native American) I had Jewish ancestry and also I do have ancestors that I assume were Islamic and I don't know that information. I was raised southern baptist just because of where I'm located, then as a messianic Jew and now I really just am independent. I learn for myself that there are multiple Gods , Goddesses and Deities, angels, and what have you and they work intermittently to help you find your purpose in life - some people have certain deities attached to them from birth or childhood, others have to learn the calling and hear who is talking them or watching over them. Most of the time people believe in a Guardian angel concept. I am actually an ordained minister and because I don't do well with traditional schooling I don't hold a degree in religious text or theology, though I do consider myself a backwoods theologian, but I see the errors and discrimination a lot religion does and it angers me. I am a lesbian and I'm in a lesbian relationship with my partner, I've been subjected to so much abuse for things that don't even apply to me. I always thought that every belief system, unless it was a cult, was purely for the individual and not a group mentality. I was brought up with the relationship between me and God being an initmate personal connection, not necessarily romantic, but it was my own journey with him by my side. I was subjected to abusive situations and had to overcome a lot of trauma based thinking when I committed to my partner.
I also have a condition called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and I have had it since birth. I didn't know about it though till just recently. I've been kind of in a fog and haze because CAH is a lack of the enzyme used to make and process cortisol efficiently and on top of AuDHD, I am quick to dysregulation and burn out very easily. That's another reason why I couldn't function well in college. I dropped out 3 times at 3 different schools.
At any rate, it's even got a premium tier for expanded tools and resources within the program and I am looking forward to see how this works! Please be kind, I am not trying to hurt anyone with this or claim piety with it, I just thought it would help theologians and scholars work on their sermons better or anyone who wants to read religious texts and learn more historical information on certain topics or use the resources and tools to help better their experience.
I did add the paywall and a premium tier because I cannot really work and I'm hoping people pay it forward if they like the app and I am always welcome to hear constructive criticism or anything about the app or whatever. My email is chrissysmith260@gmail.com I also don't intend to claim or predict anything with the text or resource material in the app. I also am not selling the texts or resources, just the app itself. You can readily find much of the resources on your own and use Gemini or ChatGPT as a standalone sermon generator, but if your less tech savvy, I integrated and automated the process a little better.
Please and thank you!
