Anonymous:you’re definitely right. i left out a lot of reasons why people believe in a higher power, so i apologize. i know that fear is a powerful motivator, so i based many of the reasons why i think people believe on fear, but there are tons of other reasons that i left out. please forgive me :]
i am only human, so i make mistakes. i have firmly-rooted beliefs, so i try and respect those who choose to think differently than me, but i’m not always very good at that. i’m learning though. i’m trying to make less mistakes and be more respectful when discussing the religion of others, and i ALWAYS appreciate feedback on how well i am or am not doing that.
thank you for this discussion we’re having! it’s made me think critically and helped me analyze my atheism. if you or anyone else wants to talk about anything, i’m free! :]
