Yes. I think. It's becoming more difficult.

I shouldn't have to. Any God worthy of the title would provide clear and irrefutable proof of its own existence.

Yeah sorta. She's torturing me because she's just a hottie bad bitch like that π₯΅
Yes
No. Raised in the faith but never truly believed.
I believe in me. You are all being perceived by me. And anything I cannot perceive is not in the realm of existence.
Yup I sure do
I try to separate βbelievingβ things β ie, concluding that I will accept something as true (helpful) β from βbelieving inβ things, which edges more into hoping and convincing myself (problematic).
Nope.
Yeah, I used to be an atheist but I converted to Catholicism after a bad trip on shrooms
Can you tell me why? I have a friend who was atheist and one day converted simply so,to ultracatholicicm (he's not pushy about it, just very... definite), and I suspect that he had a sort of bad trip. I'm pretty sure he's hurting himself and his wife in the long term in the process, and he won't tell anyone what caused his sudden change.

Yeah. Even if it intellectually makes no sense, I still do. I never discuss it and would never attempt to convert someone or anything, I really have better things to do. But despite the fact it isn't logical I still always do.
No. I usually call myself an agnostic atheist and follow it up with this thought: say humanity some day, somehow sends a man or a robot to explore a black hole and at the very bottom of that black hole there is an old door with a doorbell. We ring the doorbell and soon after an old man opens the door and says: "oh, there you are. I'm God, come on in". I think it would be kind of arrogant to just dismiss him immediately and say "no you're not! God doesn't exist!" That's why I'm not just a hardcore atheist.
