I cancel a lot more lately. As I’m writing my response I’m also thinking about what they might respond with to my response and as I’m doing this I realize this discussion is going to take more energy and engagement than I really initially cared for or than it’s worth and at that point I’m like… why even bother, nevermind

There’s even a wikiHow, if you use a search engine you can find it ❤️

Isn’t he talking about people talking about him in the cut verse? Referring to himself? He’s not calling anyone a bundle of sticks, he’s repeating what he’s been called

Probably because you act like this 🙄

There were just too many contradictions and the more I learned about science, especially physics, astronomy, and psychology, and the way the world works, I discovered that there is always a rational explanation for things, even if sometimes the knowledge necessary to comprehend something is not something I possess personally at the moment. People who would preach in my church would confidently claim things I knew to be fallacies, misleading, or straight up incorrect, not out of malice but their own ignorance as well, and I stopped trusting the words of religious leaders as I discovered they were as human as myself- their faith didn’t protect them from error or make them better people, and eventually I just couldn’t fall back on faith or ideology to be the bedrock of my moral or philosophical compass because it just wasn’t trustworthy.

I think in that case I’d just ask them to write it down and I’ll come read it and write a response when they’re done, then could go do something else in that time- I guess it’s like my life now… text me or what you said doesn’t exist… 😆😩
