It's funny, I've had mainly atheist friends in my life, all through my life, and for the most part, they've always had my back.
I like you, and I have had no qualms with you when you decided to return to the faith.
I have had moments of wanting to return, mainly to a pagan spirituality, but in the end I always choose reason over fantasy.
Whatever you decide, however, in the end I will be your friend.
I like you, too. There's a lot of interesting philosophies out there, where you can glean something beneficial perhaps from each. But, when you think about it, those ideas were all from other humans, helping out other humans to cope with the difficulties of life. The stranger ideologies are those that suggest for people to hurt others who don't believe, etc. But, again, those ideas are also...from humans. I'm not sad about my epiphany this week, that has made me incredibly happy.But, it's always a little saddening when people who claim to care about you, can't be happy for you, too.
