Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Never once in my life was I a believer

When I was a kid one day I prayed for a rocket ship and never got one. As an adult I have prayed desperately for other things that are genuinely beyond my control. I don't really believe in anything though. Belief in a specific God with obscure rules where you can easily prove the lore was written by specific people, at different times, for different purposes, all of them seeking to justify their own existence and elevate themselves over others? I physically cringe at anyone who takes scripture seriously. If you need a middle man between you and God, I genuinely think that you are pathetic and intellectually lazy. But of course I won't tell anyone this.
