Supernatural and Atheism

[Angrboda]

???

I enjoy learning and talking about traditional philosophy concerning the soul. This doesn't mean that I believe any or all of it, I just find it fascinating. 

The type of Aristotelian philosophy I mentioned above has been very influential in Christianity and (I'm pretty sure) Islamic theology. So if people are talking about Christian concepts of the soul, it makes sense that they would know these things. 

So it gives me pleasure to think about this stuff. 

Other people are not interested in the subject. That's fine. There's no reason for them to think about it at all.

Most people who aren't interested just walk away. Others somehow think that my talking about it should be mocked or insulted. They don't want me to enjoy the kind of things that I enjoy. It's basically a Puritan Pleasure Patrol, aiming to shut down discussions that they don't happen to get pleasure from. Passing judgment on other people's pleasures is pretty normal, and if that's what they want to do it's OK with me. I can ignore them too.

How long has this bug been up your ass?
