it’s strange to me how people think they have agency over their beliefs
it doesn’t seem to me I choose to believe or not believe anything - I just do or don’t.
Maybe I’m just splitting hairs about language but when religious people say just pray or just ask god... they must have a sense that something is listening ... it used to bother me that so many people have this peculiar mental illness but now my own life is too shitty to worry about their problems
Does okayness really have any influence on what you really believe?
