Is there a category for people not interested in knowing whether or not god exists? I think I’m one of them. I barely want to debate it because I came to the understanding that no one wants to be convinced of a fact if it opposes their belief. The belief itself is core and they will create a blind spot and stuff it in.
All the same, I do like how celebration of equinoxes, concentration on personal renewal make me feel. It’s a conscious choice to recognize the change of seasons and treat both negative and positive as seasonal. That’s about as far as I get. I have felt the twinge to reread the works of my early 20s and see what’s new in skepticism. I had Dawkins, Hitchens, and even Penn Jillette. I’m not sure there are so many outspoken non-believers these days or maybe I just don’t know them.
Hmmm, just a few thoughts. Reading this it seems you are referring to the Christian religion in particular. Well, maybe Judeo-Christian religions. Do you feel the same way towards other religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American belief systems, etc? Do you have any spiritual beliefs or are you a pure atheist? I know a lot of people who came to question their Judeo-Christian roots as they grew up and left them in the dust. many still have some kind of spiritual beliefs whether they are pagan or "starseed." Whether you are a pure atheist or not really doesn't matter to me, I am just wondering. As we transition from the Age of Piscses into Aquarius it seems to be a natural progression away from Christianity and toward something more "progressive" as you might put it.

In any case, this was a nice read. Thank you. 😊
