I believe in some things some might call "pseudoscientific bullshit", yet I'd like to think I'm thoughtful about it.
@Ulfra_Wolfe same, although I feel that the word "believe" is somewhat stretched here. Merely because I find value in a concept doesn't mean I "believe" in it, in the conventionally understood way.

I use to be a super athiest but honestly that was exhausting and I was constantly fighting with my desire to believe in something but nowadays I find comfort in my beliefs...
@codeawayhaley @Ulfra_Wolfe I just don't think that strict atheism is really tenable. You're basically telling everyone in the world who's ever had a spiritual or religious experience, "You were just hallucinating or fucked in the head, it doesn't mean a thing." Sure, that can be shaped into an intellectually consistent philosophy but, holy heck, it's not one I want to get anywhere near, not any more
@kara_dreamer @Ulfra_Wolfe yeah it is pretty repulsive and bleek as a philosphy, and really the reason I moved away from atheism was it was totally inconsistant with what I had experienced.
