Ok. So, what's your point? Lol
So you live in a bubble where someone says she used to believe a certain way, and because you never met anyone who did... what? What is it? What's the point? I've met theists who don't like it when the way others handle faith is too embarrassing, so they deny the legitimacy of what is being said. Is that it?
I was the kind of theist who believed dumb things. I was raised by my pastor parents to believe crazy things, yes, even past age five. Saying that you never met anyone who seriously believes this way does not mean it's a non existent thing. Good for you! Lol but I mean... what's your point? I didn't really believe that? I must have a mental disability, because believing stuff like that past age five is unheard of?
First and foremost, I want to apologize if I was rudely dismissive of your experience. That wasn't my intention and my reaction was partially due to a misreading of your initial response. In my experience, most of the time I've heard expressions like that, it was either just an expression of frustration/resolve, or a substitution of God for Fate (I.e. If there's such a thing as destiny, then obviously, painting the house today is not part of it), so that's what I thought it probably meant, and when you dismissively said "nah, it probably means yada yada", I thought you were just stubbornly asserting your interpretation despite that probability. I honestly wasn't trying to disrespect you. My point, for the OP, was that it's possible It was taken too literally. I always presume people don't actually want to think ill of others if they don't have to, so I wrote that in case the OP hadn't really thought of it as a possibility.
