If you want to talk about religion, atheism, or agnosticism in a public, semi-anonymous internet community such as Reddit/Lemmy, you’ll want to have thick skin. Sadly my skin is not as thick as I’d like.
Oh, and as an ex-Christian, I still use Christianity as a frame of reference a lot— especially when criticizing American “Christians” for their lack of empathy when a good chunk of their own book states they should be otherwise. But then because I brought up Christianity but didn’t explicitly say it was wrong and/or evil, I get shit on pretty quickly. Then people literally try to tell me I’m lying about being an ex-Christian, including on Lemmy. People are… sad.
That’s basically me. I mean, I grew up Baptist, and they definitely helped me realize one day that I would no longer be a Christian. I ended up doing my own thinking, realized what traits I believed I observed from a possible creator, decided that it doesn’t fit into any given religion, and also decided that there’s very little else I can prove or know about this creator.
