Religion meta 

@DissidentKitty@radical.town I once drove a Christian away from a chat room because he was yammering on about how people can only criticize his religion from a place of anger as atheists.

And I was like, "I am just a Samsaran Animist, a pagan, and you're full of shit."

@DissidentKitty@radical.town Like, while I WAS raised as a Christian, my departure from it was a lot more of a philosophical consequence of personal moral development at 16 than the white-centric stories you hear in 99% of deconversion stories.

In other words, I simply drifted away from it because I believed that morals are developed bottom-up rather than top-down. Also, reconciling the bible's events with what we know of the universe became impossible.
