like, people will post something about Christianity, and i’ll spend a decent amount of time writing a thoughtful reply based on radical liberation theology only to have my comment immediately rejected by the person i was replying to because they’re only really interested in dunking on the stupid, idiot religioids… i don’t mind anyone dunking on religious institutions, because basically all of them are horrible, and i, obviously, understand that many may have religious trauma. but, still, it saddens me that so many trannies seem so fundamentally incapable of engaging with other ways of interpreting life and our place in the Universe. like, they’ve just replaced fundamentalist religion with fundamentalist atheism, and, tbh, even though the latter tends to produce significantly better political positions and outcomes, i do think they’re pretty much just as anti-intellectual at their core… and, i guess, i just feel like if there’s one group of people who should at least be somewhat open to hearing out other perspectives than the dominant one, it’d be trannies :I
All autists need to grow out of their reddit atheism phase. It’s a coming of age thing. The human spirit, in all its cultural expressions, is shaped by conceptions of an Absolute, of a final truth and reality which isn’t necessarily confined to religion. Secularism is a myth, we have merely replaced religion with a cult of the state and atomized citizen. Any living arrangement necessarily presupposes questions about the self and the other the self is inevitably oriented towards. If you don’t want to associate with religion, that’s fine. Our blood-caked religious texts are difficult to reconcile with. But a new spirituality is still in order, which sets aside the psychosis of a life after death (which perhaps more than anything explains the popular apathy towards environmental destruction) and places the preservation of the real world at the center. What do leftists believe in, if not in a profound cosmopolitanism of life? That we have to take responsibility. For what? For everything. For the cosmos and each other.
TLDR: cringe rambling
