I'm actually a big fan of the point in every convo like this where the mask just slips right off. Way back when we first spoke I already knew it wasn't on account of any of the things you were saying that you believed in gods. I don't think you believe in panpsychism either, to be honest. That you hadn't reasoned your way to any of this is no surprise. That you recognize you are not motivated by and are in fact impervious to reason is a bit of a twist, though.
I'm as uninterested in being your boyfriend's boyfriend now as I was before. Truth be told, if I ever met a god, I obviously couldn't be an atheist anymore, but I still wouldn't be a christian. Christianity disgusts me.
But part of that disgust probably stems from the idiocy of traditional bible scholars who essentially depict Yahweh as a jerk.
When I first realized Jesus was God, I hated Him. He was indeed a jerk, in my view. This went on for two years at which point I began to suspect that traditional theology might be wrong. I soon began to postulate panpsychism (didn't know that term back then). After that, I never looked back.
It's tragic that you think it's a problem with some bible scholar somewhere. No, the issues all lie with the source material and fruits like yourself.
