I must’ve been a little too young to get sucked into the insufferable reddit atheism thank Allah for that.
Becoming religious because Dawkins pretend to be atheist is about the stupidest reason on this side of Pascal Wager.
Hate that I used to like this guy.
Hasn’t he survived like four strokes? He’s hard to kill I’ll give him that
I went from growing up in a borderline cult to a hardline atheist to some kind of agnostic generalized spirituality in a span of 10 years all thanks to the “rationalism” movement in Youtube
I went from growing up in fundamentalist Christianity to Reddit-style atheism to Soviet-style atheism, lol.
Opposite side of the coin, I went from Padre Pio style Catholicism as a reaction to annoying reddit atheists, to Desmond Tutu and Camilo Torres style Catholicism when I understood politics better.
Interesting. Can I ask more about how you became religious again? It wasn’t something I ever felt the desire to return to myself.
I never stopped! When I was much younger and a clueless reactionary trad I was mostly operating on vibes. I had some personal experiences that made me catch up with reality, realized how privileged I was and how my ideology was fundamentally unsustainable, then began to rapidly move left and explore the radical traditions that have existed across Catholic history.
e: wait I see why my first comment was confusing, ‘as a reaction to annoying reddit atheists’ is all part of the same clause. I mean that I was reacting to that style of atheism by being more ‘trad’ because I perceived all of the effects of new atheism as really negative and the opposite of what I wanted to be.
Ohh, yeah. I guess your comment and mayo_cider’s got blended together in my brain, lol.
In this moment, he is euphoric.
