hello
I'm a 30 yer old atheist from romania. I tried a forum from romania, but the registrations were closed.
I lost my faith when I was 16. it had a lot to do with my computer. I am self thought in art and computer graphics. I tried to use scientific knowledge to pull me out hard spots. I don't like working mechanically, like measuring proportions. for example I like to think of humans as having big lower limbs to sustain bipedalism and this gives proportions some meaning.
I try my best to learn about evolution, about man made objects, the importance of symbols (specific only to homo sapiens). it's fun, but it didn't really paid of so far. I spend my last 10 years excluding religion from my experience. surprisingly, it didn't seem like priests would bother me, other then just being there at social events.
nonetheless I partly blame religion for the degrading situation I'm in. I live in my parents house and they gave me most of my money. there is a tremendous pressure from my parents and people around that I make my own money. but all those people are religious to some extend and they have no problem when the government pays nice salaries to priests. they have no problem with civilians donating money on different religious occasions.
I may be non productive, but there is this bred of people who have a phony job, phony studies, phony lives that are, paradoxically, paid and supported by the government. I'm a a smoker, but I don't ask for subventions cause I'm stupid. I don't say I want their money, I just wish that priest wouldn't have the first change in society. their excuse is that during the middle ages, they had land and influence. after secularization the state took it and issued a law by witch priest are getting paid for their land.
let me just dwell on the matter for a moment. being toward rationality doesn't mean being stupid out of your pocket. that's missing the point of all the progress that removed religious authority.
so now I have this burst, because I can't keep my eyes closed and ignoring religion anymore. maybe it's not the way to go and I should focus on my work, but I know this social facts will keep me down to some degree.
I don't have a global view on this situation, so I wait for different stories about religion and their funds.
thank you.
