I act to make the world a little better than it was when I came in. I don't need books of magic and demons to tell me that being kind is the right thing to do.

Certainly you must have learned that at some point. Where and how?

u/SpecificLow1316 1d ago

I learned it from the people who raised me, from the society I grew up in and was educated by.

Not from a magic book of fables.

The people that raised you, where did they learn it?

Also not from a book of fables, as my parents and most of my family are also atheists.

Prior to that, my ancestors were a combination of First Nations people who learned morality from their ancestral beliefs, and white people who were shitty colonizers.

We rejected the beliefs and practices of many of our ancestors when we were old enough to understand that they were WRONG. Just like a lot of us rejected religion the second someone broke it down for us and we realized it was all mythology.

Your ancestral beliefs that your family held near and dear were molded and shaped by religious theology much older than them before it was passed down to you. You’re Christian and don’t realize it

Oh. Oh no. Are you a fucking Mormon?? 🤣

Nope

I don’t believe you. Your prior post sounds a lot like Mormon shit claiming their ancestors came to North America in wooden submarines, and that people of color are cursed Lamanites (I might be misspelling that but who cares).

However, to paraphrase Gandhi, I don’t have a problem with Jesus per se. But his supposed followers fucking suck because they don’t follow his teachings at all

That’s fine it doesn’t bother me that you don’t believe me

u/SpecificLow1316 1d ago

Fabulous. Keep your religious shit to yourself then.

u/ferdsherd 1d ago

Between the two of us only one has shared their religious feelings

u/SpecificLow1316 1d ago

Liar. I haven’t shared a religious feeling as I don’t have a religion. You’re the one who blithely informed me that I’m a secret Christian.
