i'm also agnostic-slash-pagan, so like.... it's odd that most of my family is religious in some form or other, but not overly weird to me.

ah yeah I'm newly converted to agnosticism after a lifetime in the grasp of evangelicals lol

oh boy. welcome to the club, shadsy

My Dad thinks I'm Christian. He is devout but I just don't grasp the concept. There is evidence that most miracles could have happened naturally.

i couldn't deal with the contradictions

Contradictions? I believe in a multiverse and some type of force that makes things work and yet that could be a mix of forces too... (Taking gravity as a force.)

i mean, i get that.

but i meant in the bible text. it's like do X, and then later it's like don't do X....okay, so which is it? I'm confused??

Yeahhh, the homophobia was the nail in the coffin for me. I got told rainbows don't represent the LGBTQ community -- they're God's promise to never destroy the world again, not a beacon of pride for the people that are the reason god destroyed the world to begin with.

And I'm like *blink blink blink* excuse me???

what the hell even. that makes NO SENSE. i would've been like excuse me too

also, pretty sure there were LGBTQ+ peeps before christanity was even a thing like what.

haha right? I used to be hyper-religious so I know alllll the theology and I go in fists swinging now xD

hahaha i know enough to know that it's not for me

fair enough

Oh, religion.

Not a big fan of it because of the priest in my village. Against everything new and probably burning witches on Sunday.

heh yeah

That was actually the thing that got me out of religion. They are all super conservative, like women stay in the kitchen, get children and be religious and shut up and all other ideas are forbidden.

I hate that the so-called religion of love is so against everything. When I first came home with a girl as girlfriend (?) do you call that so, the whole village was like "She´s insane". That was the moment when I thought I should be more and more unorthodox.

Nowadays I accept religion, they are needed as long as power isn´t misused in a human form. Religion is a philosophy of hope not the showing of glory.
