My dad is very self involved. Though he may have changed a bit. His current wife has stage 4 cancer. So I do feel bad for him. I havent talked to him much in the last few months.

Oh that’s horrible

Yeah I've never wished him happy father's day but I did it this year \

half of my family is super conservative evangelical preachers and my mom works for a local catholic church

I honestly dont know what my dad believes because he changes it for whoever he's around

My dad gets in fights with me all the time. Disowned me as his daughter. Forgot my birthday this year. Threatens to rip my braces off my mouth. Sends me awful texts

my parents arent bad except for the fact that I am at extremely high risk for childhood ptsd and show all the symptoms (don't have a diagnosis because any form of mental health facility is used as a threat)

My mom and one of my sisters are agnostic, then me and my other sister are just atheist

im apatheist

I've done my time as an admin of theology and philosophy debate groups and I decided they're all just idiots wasting their time

I’m Wiccan. Though I count it as more spiritual. I also like Buddhism

If your opinion can be changed by reading an essay by some old white guy do you really have an opinion

yknow

But I also lean towards atheism

Agree

I like learning about other religions and spiritual ideologies but I dont really believe in anything

I've spent the past few years just talking to different people all over the world and learning about their life experiences and their morals and I base my morals and reasoning on those collective stories

In my opinion that's real philosophy

I agree. That’s kinda what I do in a sense

I remember talking to my mom a couple of years ago about it and she was telling me about how she is agnostic because she WANTS to believe there is something out there. I told her I dont really think there is, and she told me "But isn't that scary". I dont know. Question caught me offguard because I never really thought about it in that regard :P

You don't learn about human behavior or the meaning of anything by reading essays by extremely educated people

Education is a privilege

you only get part of the story with that

It's still important to be educated, though. But there isn't only one kind of intelligence

Yeah but formal education that these philosophers have

I can see wanting to believe in more. I have impending doom of just being gone along with my family and it gives me terrible anxiety

Welcome back @seggy

This is why I'm apatheist

I’ve never heard that term before tbh

*chat is talking about weird shit again*

I personally enjoy listening to lectures from people who have studied a subject for a long time. It doesn't mean that it's the only type of intelligence that should be respected, but it should be respected.

It's like there's no point in spending my time worrying about if there is or isn't a higher being judging me for my actions

We didn't just stumble on all that information in a day. It's something we've built up.

I can make my own morals and live a good life and be sure of myself

Religion and theology are not important to me or my own morality

me when my internet goes just when i’m ready to sleep 😐

I don't think a lot of people who disbelieve in god really sit and worry about whether they are being judged. You either believe, don't believe, or don't know what to believe.

are ghosts real then?

I dont believe in anything supernatural lol.
