I dunno, maybe I'm just not on that level, spiritually

I was atheist for over twenty years

but everybody is on a spiritual path

over time some people either go more towards God or against him, for me everything brought me towards Him to the point that I experienced Him very explicitly and believe, if you don't believe in God you cannot really have a clear grasp of his nature (believing in Him will not give you this either but it will clarify it at least a bit)

but

if you don't believe but recognize the value of the tradition, morality, myths, purposes etc

thats good enough just keep following that

Personally I lean towards concepts of Reason and evidence. Things I can grasp in my mind and have a solid foundation in fact. I Fully respect and admire the concept of religiona nd God but personally I've never really "felt" that connection there as others may, so I tend to avoid delving too deep into it

not as good as someone who fully is dedicated to the long term spiritual battle but it's much better than the average person who acts against God

yup that was basically me you are describing too

I never felt him until recently, and then when I did it made me realize all the times in my life I felt him but attributed it to something else

Reason and evidence is good but only for certain things, it's extremely limited

For practical things, it is ideal

the most important things in life you dont reason with. You don't reason or require evidence that you love your wife or children, or people and want to secure a future for them , your hate for Kikes who try to subvert everything CONSTANTLY to prevent this etc, this is not a position you reasoned at

yeah sure if I want to build a toaster it's ideal I agree

but I don't idolize my toaster lol

I'm a scientist by trade I've worked in multiple labs and still conduct independent research, I value reason and evidence very highly they were given by God and are wonderful faculties but they aren't all important and all powerful

though our materialist spiritually void enlightenment value-filled society would make you think otherwise

I don't "hate" kikes either. "for me, "love" and "hate" are very extreme.

kikes are satanic, worthy to hate

if anything in the world is worthy of being hated it is kikes IMO

they are constantly genocidal against our people

Hate is an irrational impulse. I am able to recognize an enemy without hating them emotionally.

lol

emotions are by definition irrational

of course

love is as irrational as hate,

doesn't mean its not meaningful

so it doesn't mean anything to say it's irraitonal

it's still inseparable from us as humans, hate is a natural faculty, those who don't feel it are supressing it

I never said it wasn't meaningful. I simply wouldn't subject myself to pure emotion while making decisions in life

I guess I'm just so used to suppressing it that it's part of who I am

in general I agree but often gut feelings are necessary in decision making, business 101 courses will teach this

Emotions are much more easily manipulated

suppressing natural emotions is really not healthy man

many psychological/physical disorders come from this

lol oh yeah?

you are easily in control of your emotions?

In most cases

I mean

There are extreme cases
