"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.

I wish we had been born into a kinder time.

But we weren't. So we're going to have to build one.

I’m crying because when my dad was eighteen he was going to join the airforce and then the night before he had a dream that Jesus slapped him in the face with a gigantic fish and asked him what he was doing and he woke up and thought, “Jesus is right what am I doing?” And that’s why my dad did not join the military.

I was taught my whole childhood that you could logic and reason yourself towards the truth of Catholicism if you just studied enough apologetics. I frequently find myself slipping into the same mindset when exploring religions today- that if I just figure it out like a logic problem, I can analyze anything and find The One True Religion. But at the end of the day, I'm just a traumatized animal and a lot of things just feel Bad. That's not some lesser/ base instinct to be looked down on. Every time I try out mainstream Christianity, I feel bad. Very bad. No matter how many books I read about it try to convince myself. Would my mental health not be important to the Divine?

Sometimes people demand you justify being an atheist with a 200 page well-sourced thesis on biblical scholarship but one of the reasons I am not a Christian anymore is so fucking simple. It made my life worse. It made me unhealthy mentally. I’ve grown one thousand times more as a person without it. If it were really the one true wisdom from an all knowing infinite god, it would make my life better. And that’s enough proof for me. And it’s a valid reason.
