I'm not trying to batter you into deconversion, all I'm doing is trying to explain how things seem to me, so you can understand my godforsaken perspective
It's great that you actually want to learn about atheists, you have no idea how rare that is (at least on this forum).
Oh trust me. I'm not holding anything against you. I understand how to a non believer words like "sacraments" and "spiritual life" sound like a bunch of baloney and make absolutely 0 sense. So rest assured, I get it! :
I'm just thankful you are respectful.. that's really all I ask.
And of course! You guys are interesting to me! Anyone who is very different from myself, to me, is interesting. I'm enjoying my time here with you guys.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
