Curiosity led me here....

Growing up, I was told that questions would eventually lead me to faith.

Instead, questions led me somewhere else.

The more I learned about science, history, and how the universe works, the more I realized that I didn't need supernatural explanations to feel wonder. Looking at the stars, learning about evolution, or reading about the age of the universe fills me with awe far more than any story ever could.

Being an atheist doesn't mean I think I know everything. It means I'm comfortable saying, "I don't know," when there isn't enough evidence for an answer.

For me, truth matters more than comfort. If a claim is true, it should stand up to questioning. If it can't, then questioning it wasn't the problem.

The universe is under no obligation to be simple, human-centered, or easy to understand. Yet its complexity is exactly what makes it fascinating.

Curiosity brought me here, and curiosity is what keeps me moving forward.

I don't claim to have all the answers. I simply choose to follow the evidence, wherever it leads.

And if future evidence proves me wrong, I will change my mind. The goal was never to defend a belief at all costs. The goal was always to get closer to the truth.

The Lost Pages

[calicorexic]

You guys ever feel bitter and spiteful because of all that exists? You ever grow up a devoted Christian because of your own choices and suddenly lose that faith in an instant? Then months later you realize the need to stand on your own is rooted from a place of self growth and learning? Then think that the choice to let go of my toxic faith for a while was exactly what I needed? I have made the choice to make my own decisions and not blame a higher power for things not working out how I want them to. I have been cautiously returning to my faith, but in a way that I think will be better and more self sufficient.

That one time at church camp

Okay but I remember that one year I was forced to go to church camp (not literally I just didn’t want to make my grandma sad) and the theme of the camp was “practically perfect in every way” because God makes us all 100% perfect, and shit like that. And so for the last day of camp they had us write on these little miniature chalk boards we got to decorate, and you had to write something in the middle for an aesthetic picture they were all gonna take for the end of camp, and my bitter little ass who was having a hard time dealing with my sexuality at the time and just generally annoyed at the hypocritical behavior going on in my church, I wrote in the board “as long as it means being happy, be as imperfect as you want” and my church counselors were so fucking bitter that I didn’t stick with the “practically perfect” theme they hid my board behind everyone else’s and made sure it was on the edge so it was only half into the picture.
