Those stories are so fake. "I used to be a leftist, then I was mildly annoyed by something. Now I'm ragingTrumpist!"

Same energy as born again Christians trying to convert me from atheism.

"I used to be you!"

No, you were a slightly less annoying version of you. You don't know me at all.

Sorry to dump this out here, but I have dealt with this shit since I was a teen and I'm mad tonight about some other shit.

That's because they think everyone who isn't hardcore christian is unhappy and questioning their choices every day, just waiting on god to help.

I'm hard agnostic. That doesn't mean I'm questioning. That means I believe that we can't possibly know any more than a bacteria can fathom what I am. They're convinced that means I'm not sure if their god exists and I desperately want them to show me the light.

You know how I know what they think? It's how I was raised. It's the literal words that came out of their mouths. Luckily it's been years since anyone other than a Jehovah's Witness tried to convert me to anything and I just tell them "I think god is dead so I'm trying to get on Satan's good side by having sex outside of marriage and killing. Which do you prefer?"

At least a bacteria knows for sure that you EXIST.

But it doesn’t, it merely relies on its environment to survive

Thank you for being a reasonable agnostic.

"One of the good ones"?

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think a lot of people get agnostic twisted, but I'm not one to gatekeep people's beliefs so they can do what they like. I think a lot of folks would file me under atheism pretty quickly if I started talking, except I ain't really talking.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

Still, thank you for not being a gstekeeper.

My aunt was an atheist turned born again Christian but that’s only because she took too much acid in the 70s and fried her brain

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago

That's an interesting tactic that no Jehovah's witnesses tried with me. That one might actually work.

I’ve noticed tons of ex-alcohol/drug users take that route.
