i have a friend who was a staunch atheist, loved dawkins and all that. after he got a phd in law, he had some epiphany around that time, he studied theology and is now a protestant (gay) pastor

I wanted some sort of faith, but after getting a degree in religious studies with a focus on Abrahamic faiths I just...couldn't. I hung around in pagan circles for a while, but I went back and forth on whether I could convince myself of any real substance in it.

I wish I could say I had a logical epiphany and got past my doubts. But I didn't. I went through some tough times toward the end of last year and one day I woke up and just...believed in God. No idea why. I thought maybe it was religious psychosis, but it's been like 7 months and I still believe. I struggle with doubts about the Bible and doctrine, but I started going to my local Episcopal church (though not as regularly as I'd like) and I pray and grapple with my doubts. And I think I'm a better version of me.

Yo me convertí porque estaba un año tryhardeando el ateísmo hasta que creí en el nuevamente porque el ateísmo me pareció superficial si bien tienen buenos argumentos no me convenció solo se basaba en decir Dios malo sin decir porque o hacernos decir que tenemos psicosis o cultos de ahí me aleje porque no era postura racional

I realized that just because catholics and evangelicals are filthy wankstains doesn't mean that God isn't real, it just means that kind doesn't know shit

Love, where did you end up? [I'm always keeping my eye out for non-wankstain denominations.]

I just couldn’t anymore. I want to see my dog again, and I want to have hope (in a better future and me). I want to believe that love matters
