I’m an agnostic atheist, but recently I’ve been drawn to somewhat pagan beliefs about spirituality in nature. I can’t bring myself to believe in some mother Gaia goddess that controls the flow of nature, but something about nature holding innate power and energy rings true. I’m still figuring it out.
I had some traumatic events happen in my life recently, and in looking for ways to feel safe again I found myself believing in things I’ve never believed in before. I had some serious dysphoria about it lol, I was like “is this how ancient humans developed religions? A result of terror and seeking comfort?” As someone who became an atheist on my own as a young child, having any belief in something without actual evidence was making me question a lot about myself. But I don’t think I need to pigeon-hole myself into any self-made boxes, I can just let my beliefs be.
Postdata: But I hope you can allow me a quote of Father Jorge Loring in her book "to save yourself":
"Those who reject all morals (" prohibited to prohibit "), are some hypocrites, because they want to impose their rules. He said, Ortega and Gasset:" of the moral, it is not possible to be disengaged "69".
I personally like the scientific approach to look for the truth, but also that same has prevented me many times to walk quietly. Although and I'm just surpassing.
Did you know that Martin Luther references child molestation in his little paper?
The Catholic Church spends so much resources protecting child molesters that at some point you have to wonder 'whats the purpose of the church?'
