It’s funny in the “life is so incredibly fucked up that you just have to laugh at it sometimes even though laughter is objectively entirely inappropriate” kind of way lol

@KennethLPearce My indifference about God was hard earned lol, W therapy. Don’t hate God and don’t believe in Satan.

These tropes are so bizarre. Obviously if you're an atheist who is indifferent to God you just like...don't go around talking about your atheism all the time? Because you don't really care? And there are plenty of those people in the world.

@Brayden_Hurley1 @waldenpod Likewise 🫡

@sent1entanimal @waldenpod To each their own I hope you live well and wish you the best

@Brayden_Hurley1 @waldenpod Unfortunately, I am quite confident that the poor actions in question have everything to do with religion. Removing myself from religion has limited people’s ability to negatively influence me in shitty ways.

@sent1entanimal @waldenpod I’m really sorry you had to go through that You don’t need to go through the trouble of responding if it’s bothersome I just think if you really look at the Church’s doctrine and focus you’ll find it probably had a lot more to do with people’s poor actions rather than religion

@Brayden_Hurley1 @waldenpod I’m really not going to get in too deep about this with you by the way but I thought I’d respond.

@Brayden_Hurley1 @waldenpod Yeah, you really don’t. 5 years of therapy and I’m still not done undoing all the trauma the LDS church has caused me in my life. Appreciate the try though.

@praiseoflight Funny concept for sure. Here’s some quick math (it would be more if I took taxes out)

@sent1entanimal Lol, that's a really interesting thought.

Thought about hell for a minute

I never tweet on this account anymore. I just saw a tweet saying eating steak is vegan because almond milk kills bees. The post had 13k likes. Never want to hear my degree is useless again LOL.

@JeremyTate41 I take it you think getting a philosophy degree was a good use of my time then right?

The goal of education in each century. 753 BC - The cultivation of virtue 33 AD - The cultivation of virtue 313 AD - The cultivation of virtue 800 AD - The cultivation of virtue 1517 - The cultivation of virtue 1865 - The cultivation of virtue 2025 - College and career readiness

Have not successfully engaged with a single vehement anti-psychiatry individual so far. My conclusion is that they are extremely dogmatic and ignore any evidence that goes against their understanding. Yet they won’t shut up about how meds should disappear. Spineless cowards

The church is run by imperfect mortals and even given divine inspiration imperfect mortals are probably still going to get some critical things wrong. I’m not sure how heretical I sound saying that but it took 100+ years to change racist doctrine so I’m kinda just right

Gotta write an argument for atheism from religious trauma. “You can always find Jesus in your heart” Christianity took my soul out of commission I wouldn’t be so sure God I hate it here sometimes

@justin_garson Okay is there is a paper or something o need to read because if there’s anything I know about my antidepressant, it’s that it’s been working

As a future teacher, I’m super excited to have a former CEO of the WWE who lied about an education degree as the head of the Department of Education!

@justin_garson This point I genuinely just agree with. I’m going to start shifting my language from “I have depression” to “I am depressed” both because it will affirm my attachment to my feelings and it will emphasize that my psychology affects me even when I’m feeling good

I hate the whole idea that someone “has” depression or is “going through a depressive episode”. It’s so ugly and clinical. You’d never say “sounds like you’re having an anger episode” or “I have enthusiasm today.” How detached from our feelings do we have to be to talk this way?

@justin_garson My depression meds strangle the part of myself that wants to literally strangle myself so I think I’m okay with that? Lol

@justin_garson Def talking with my therapist about this concern with my ADHD drugs. ADHD is a fuckin weird one man idk. It sucks really fucking bad and meds genuinely help with some things but I know there’s parts of me missing.

I don’t blame anyone close to me lol, the system is flawed and, well, I know why. Just shit.

Being told at 8 years old “hey you should make a covenant to be a moral member of God’s chosen religion” when I barely could conceptualize God, morality, and religion was not it and I despise the fact that it happened.
