I think I read somewhere that there is or was a sect of Christians who believe Satan wrote the Bible or something like that. Maybe I'm misremembering lol.
I'll have to read that poem when I get a chance.
Have you read any William Blake? -

The topic of religion is fascinating, and I still have a predilection for certain religious customs and aesthetics, especially Catholicism, which I grew up around.
It's kind of intertwined with a lot of Louisiana culture. -

My favorite philosopher and the person who puts into words what I feel in my self is Alan Watts. He explored all religions, philosophies and mysticism with an open mind and sees us all as the Universe, or God if you like, experiencing itself.

I study the Bible. I don't see how that's supposed to change my mind. Reading the Bible is how I know the religion justifies infanticide. Which makes it badfling that modern Christians are so against abortion. A form of abortion is also in the Bible and treated as an okay thing.
God didn't save you from mental illness. -

God is made up. I've seen zero evidence of any deities⦠not even anecdotal. Speaking of anecdotes, there was a time, in my teens, when I was losing my faith, and I really didn't want to. I grew up in a family that was Catholic, but just barely. Almost never went to church, and when I did, I usually went with my grandma. I did my Catechism a year late and didn't do the confirmation or whatever it's called. I just grew up with this comforting belief that there was this all powerful, all loving being who created us, and good people would go to Heaven. We would get to see our loved ones when we died and everything would be wonderful.
Coming to terms with reality was incredibly difficult. It's like your whole foundation crumbles, and you're just clawing, trying to make sense of it all. I prayed and prayed to keep my faith, but it just felt more and more like talking to myself. I wanted to believe and have that comfort. I eventually just accepted it and was more at peace. It was freeing. I learned to see the beauty of it all without the comfortable delusions.
