What is a belief you’ve done a total 180 on? - Lemmy.ca

I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

Idk why we’ve reached the point where anyone saying they’re anything but an atheist has to specify that they aren’t a bigot. Being religious doesn’t make you a bigot and being atheist doesn’t mean you aren’t one either.

I had a similar 180 though, I used to be an atheist but in the last year or so I pivoted into druidism. Turns out following a religion that focuses on spending time in nature helps to get you out of the house when you’re going though a depressive episode.

Being religious doesn’t make you a bigot

Looking at the entire history of (a) faith-based religion, versus (b) evidence-based science

I have to say:

  • learn history
  • fuck you, you ignorant evil-enabling asshat
  • There’s no denying that most of the major religions are rooted in racism, and many still promote hate against certain people.

    That being said, “fuck you, you ignorant evil enabling asshat” sure sounds like you are making assumptions and vilifying someone you’ve never met based on one trait that you do not agree with.

    Sorry, bro, but you’ve become the monster you’re trying to fight.
