I...I really don't want to be bigoted or reactionary or anything, but I feel like if you're trying to fight God with your magic powers, almost died in the fight, and are using healing items to get your HP back up, you've crossed some line beyond just practicing a religion.
Theres people that are, like, sliders or something that swear they're fictional characters in an alternate universe. I dont know the line between irony and sincerity on that one.
Have you... met run of the mill protestants? These people talk to god and explain the world in terms of supernatural forces. A majority of Americans believe in ghosts.
This is not a line past practicing religion, this is just normal religious shit.
Essentially that you really don't have to care whether or not there is a god because based on everything, if there is one we understand it about as well as a fish understands quantum computers.
Ah, nice. I like that tale about some "demiurg" or whatever that goes like "something started all this shit but it never really ran the place nor cared for it" or something like that
My grandfather was a Reddit atheist despite being born in 1939. When he was dying he complained and got a nurse change because the one he had insisted on praying for him and talking about it. Dude just didn't suffer bullshit. So that was my baseline from birth. My Reddit atheist phase was learning to respect religion to a degree
As with any other religion, it's fine to laugh as long as you don't behave like r/atheism power user

Is that related to the Mandela Effect?
It seems like it evolved out of headmates/people thinking they have the movie version of DID and then people really liking Harry Potter.

Not really, American Protestantism is like "God is my friend and he talks to me and tells me he wants me to own an SUV."
Mocking Islam is punching down and immediately identifies you with the MAGA crowd.
Theological non cognitivism is where it's at anyway.

That's Gnosticism. It's pretty interesting
Why would there be just one 🤔

Or several, the overall thing is, 'who cares?'

Yeah, but indifference instead of uncertainty. It's a hair split. Also it has the near certainty that all existing religions are definitely wrong.
If you're thinking about it this much, I don't think you are indifferent.
You can have well justified indifference. I cared until I figured out I shouldn't and that's how I got there.
Yeah that makes sense.

Ah. I grew up in the rural southern US.
