This is a big one. I faked being Catholic for most of my adolescence, then shifted over to a more generalized “I love everyone, man” pseudo-theism, before finally admitting to myself that I never actually believed in any of it, and was just trying to fit in while also trying to figure out why so many people put so much effort into it.
It’s funny how being honest with oneself leads to actual happiness, isn’t it? I still don’t get theistic faith. I doubt I ever will. Might as well tell me the sky is made of cottage cheese for all the sense it makes to me.
