Are you an atheist?

[vimothy]

my parents are born again Christians so I've always had the feeling that there was something more to reality

 

[vimothy]

it's how I was raised

 

[luka]

Oh.

 

[vimothy]

then it was just a case of taking the right drugs and reading the right books

 

[vimothy]

tbh one thing that really impressed me was the convo between Bertrand Russel and DC coppleston

 

[luka]

Not heard of that. Who is DC Copplestone?

 

[vimothy]

unfortunately my phone is refusing to let me copy the link, but you should be able to find it

 

[vimothy]

fc not dc

 

[vimothy]

it's on YouTube and its fabulous

 

[vimothy]

extremely grim britainia

 

[vimothy]

atheism is extremely boring

 

[vimothy]

I've no idea why anyone would identify with something so boring

 

[luka]

It's heroic to break away from childhood indoctrination.

 

[vimothy]

yeah maybe

 

[vimothy]

depends I reckon

 

[vimothy]

if your childhood indoctrination is super generic it's not that impressive

 

[luka]

Ok it depends. Everything depends.

 

[vimothy]

 

[vimothy]

that's it

Can't stand the Dawkins type who are so militantly and confrontationally atheist and righeously so. I don't believe but I don't begrudge anyone having faith or questions for reasons that are obviously significant to them and I hate how folk bore on about it otherwise
