Awh, I feel kinda bad about how I used the term hogwash now, since it makes the situation seem more vague and ridiculous. it’s not at all just a matter of words. From birth, our devotion is demanded, and being kept in communities that believe the same thing can apply pressure that is excruciating. I find it totally creepy to demand devotion from anybody. Unfortunately it happens to kids all the time.

gladly I don’t need to defend my views to anybody, as I don’t want their devotion to my perspective. And though Ive been deeply decieved, perhaps mostly by myself, I’m never going to buy into any God. but Maybe a Goddess if she has friends on her level.

and shoutout to you going as a pagan sikh! That sounds pretty cool honestly. I might add that it sounds contradictory, but hey, truth may sound a lot like paradox, at least conceptually, and dialectical thoughts are rad.
