Morality

[Acrobat]

Out of curiosity, did you do a lot of drugs when you were younger Brian?

What does that have to do with shit? There are plenty of theists who still hold their beliefs in God and are addicts.

Nope sorry, addiction in reality, is a medical condition not a result of not believing. 

I was a believer growing up if you must know. But none of what I did right or wrong as a kid or teen had anything to do with a sky hero vs a ground troll making bets over the neurons in my brain. But even with all my problems, I was never a violent felon, and when I grew up and started I outgrew my insecurities. 

I didn't reject religion because of anything good or bad happening back then, I simply thought about the claims and over a decade the more I thought about them and studied the history of MULTIPLE religions, the less I saw them as credible, and the more I saw them as merely human inventions.

I lost my late mother in 2017, but as horrible as that loss was, it still wasn't about hating a fictional being. It still hurt, but was an unfortunate part of nature and reality.

Humans worldwide all go through good and bad to greater or lesser degrees, and neither require a sky wizard to explain.

No worries, you don’t have to answer.

It’s been my experience that many people who used drugs heavily, regardless of if their believers or unbelievers, share a certain cadence, pattern in their responses.

You responses seem similiar to their’s, and out of curiosity, I wonder if heavy drug use is the common variable. I wasn’t trying to attach this to your disbelief, or beliefs.
