I’m curious how much of the traffic here is people with religious beliefs.
There’s no rule against it. I just want to understand better. I’m not interested in debating or criticizing anyone’s choice to visit the comm or practice religion.
My questions:
-
Do you practice or otherwise hold some sort of faith? What kind? Is there a comm for it?
-
What are your thoughts on this (c/Atheism) comm? Do you visit because threads appear on your front page, or do you subscribe/visit intentionally? Why do you click on the topics / what kinds of topics do you click on?
-
Do you comment when you read threads here, or are you more of a lurker?
-
Is there anything you would like to express to the members of this community?
Thank you in advance for any responses.
See lots of post here fom all and local feed. I Like some of your memes. I used to be a hardcore scientific determinist type athiest. The kind who bought into a fully physical model of the world and anything unfalsifiable was discarded.
I have come around to being more spiritual since then due to very personal subjective experiences I’ve had through psychedelics. I’m very grateful for the opportunity I had to open my mind to the more mystical and personable aspects of reality. I still have my criticisms of traditional religion and blind faith though which is something atheist and I can usually agree on.
I like the memes here, but tend to lurk. I dont think my differing ideas on the nature of reality and god and whatever would be appreciated, this is a safe space for people who are in suffocatingly oppresive religious enviroments to vent, not a fourm to debate philosophy, so I keep my mouth shut.
Interesting! I agree with your description of the comm.
I’m no stranger to the third eye, although it hasn’t shaken me from my determinist leanings. In my personal experience they have seemed relatively compatible - although perhaps not in line with the average determinist worldview, against which I sometimes find myself playing the Devil’s Advocate.
