  • Is it the beliefs?

    Can you imagine a religious organization that an atheist would find problem-free if only they had the right beliefs? Why or why not?

    The dogmatism?

    Since you’re asking, I suppose you’re positing that some forms of dogmatism are good? I would like to hear some of your thoughts on what good dogmatism looks like. Otherwise, why would you ask if dogmatism is a problem?

    The epistemology?

    Again, I’m confused by your question. Religions don’t have a single unified epistemology. What are you asking and what do you posit or conjecture?









  • As a straight man, every straight man I’ve ever been friends with has eventually simply made me so tired to be around them.

    Like, times are hard. But then we just collectively… have unmet needs, and so many of us deal so badly with them. It just seems like straight men inevitably make it everyone else’s problem.

    I have heard the same old thing so many times-- to have a friend, be a friend. Reach out. Listen, be empathetic, blah blah blah. And I wind up hanging out with some douchebag thinking to myself why am I in the same room with this fucking guy. Before I know it he’s drunk or desperate for a long, long hug from being so touch starved, or he lets his guard down and casually says some slur. I don’t have the patience to be friends with straight men. I don’t have the patience to start to try.
