Those are all super legitimate questions... that I know I’m not qualified to definitively answer. But I think you just need to consider both what you understand what/whom your words reference, and how others would reasonably hear it. We are all sinners, and always will be, but as long as your intent is there, your heart will follow, and then so can your actions.
And although the state of our world is beyond concerning, if that leads you to Jesus, then I say this with all sincerity and perspective... all this madness has been a blessing.
And I wasn’t a true believing Christian most of my life. I first accepted Christ sometime after a friend suggested I read CS Lewis’ “Mere Christianity.” It’s a short, modest book, and it’s been well over a decade, so I honestly don’t remember much detail about... but I just remember I liked it. It made all the difference for me, and my direction. And so I’d recommend it to you, if you’re curious.
