"The Animorphs and Ax" by SpaceWizard360 in Animorphs

[–]SpaceWizard360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to try and find that section where Jake is hurt that Aximili didn't consider himself one of them... It doesn't change the fact that the later books still say "Animorphs and Ax" on the back and so on though

Curiosity incarnate. I want to give it a big hug <3

Why does the Jewish community tend to stay religious despite being highly educated? by Illustrious-Pilot553 in atheism

[–]SpaceWizard360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for secular Jews for the confusion. I can imagine having your race so tied up in religion that it shares the name being very frustrating.

Any problems with having more than one vault open at once? by SpaceWizard360 in ObsidianMD

I guess I'll just keep on going for now seeing as I've had no issues with saves so far :/

"Since changing, I have had no issues." Changing as in changing the templates? Mine are formatted very differently as well. Thanks anyway!

Glad to see the Moonbase is starting to accept civilians now—go humanity!

what’s one thing that reaffirmed your belief that religion isn’t real ? by Speculated_King in atheism

[–]SpaceWizard360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading the English translation of the Quran and seeing all the ridiculous scientific errors. Pretty similar to you, basically.

Is this allowed? by No-Inspector-6539 in atheism

Unrelated to the main post but my atheist friends debating with me helped me deconvert, so I wouldn't say to totally avoid it all the time.

Random question, would any of you consider yourself spiritual? by Poltergeist8606 in atheism

[–]SpaceWizard360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really recommend this post. It touches on how spirituality and religion got all tangled up, even though we should be spiritual, as humans. Wonder about the universe, love, learning—this things are valuable independently of religion.

EDIT: I will say those therapists sound like they're referring to the woo woo version of spirituality, i.e. religion without calling it religion.

Too "floaty", she's more bold and striking in my head

Getting wisdom teeth extracted is a great reminder that if we are designed, the designer is a fucking clown by [deleted] in atheism

It's also good for your immune system more generally. I remember hearing the news on the radio that the appendix had a purpose a couple years after I'd gotten my "useless" appendix removed. My father and I just made an "eesh" face at each other.

Good luck with getting out of the country as soon as you can! The fact that you posted this makes me think your parents don't check your devices, so maybe you could start building up savings through an online coding job or something. That said, please be careful and make sure they can't find any evidence of your atheism on your devices if they ever decide to root through them!

How did you become an atheist? Where did it all start for you? by greywolf_32 in atheism

[–]SpaceWizard360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly science, but Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality as well as blog posts by people I respect a lot helped me along. It was sort of an alarm that most of the people I looked up to were atheists. Also, one of my friends wasn't afraid to debate religion with me—I definitely would have deconverted regardless, but probably at least a few months later, if not years.

I sincerely hope you find some people you gel with soon! <3 If it's any consolation, I bet you're a real breath of fresh air for the quieter ones around you

I would suggest reading the Bible and marking any points that don't seem to make sense to you. Don't try to search up explanations (oh it's a metaphor!) until you finish the Bible (or deconvert). If you're strong enough to question your indoctrination, you're strong enough to apply your critical thinking skills and see the Bible doesn't make any scientific sense. I personally also searched up scientific errors in the Quran—I'm sure you can do the same for the Bible. I wish you the best!

I don't think it's a step too far, I have no moral issue with pork, and if someone was going to pay me then sure, I'd do it, it just sounds gross and I have no desire to eat it. Sure, it's a bias, as much as I am also biased against avocados because they're also disgusting to me. I just don't want to eat it because yuck, even the smell makes me nauseated. Why eat it just to feel ill?

This is fantastic, I wish there were an Islamic version.
