i'm an atheist if we go off beliefs only, but i have been baptised as a kid so i technically am christian. it doesn't bother me, if that's where you thought this was going lmao
sometimes i wish i believed in god. because whenever i spiral into these thoughts about what happens after death my mind just goes blank. i believe nothing happens, everything goes dark but you also just don't know it, you're no longer there to be experiencing any of it, you know?
where i think religion came from, is fear of death. people wanted to believe that they'll go to heaven and live a better life after they die, so they made up religions, and people followed. i can't blame them, i wish i could believe it. but it's not something you choose.
i'm christian on paper, but in practice im not. i don't believe in heaven and hell, i don't think prayers help in bad situations, and i don't believe that god created all that there is. i'm an atheist.
some of those things do seem comforting, like praying for life to get better, or maybe heaven after death. it seems truly comforting, and i wish i could believe it with my whole being. but what i think stops me from it is the irrationality of some of it. what do you mean his existed before everything else? evolution isn't real? people still evolve as of now. not only people, but animals and plants aswell. everything around us is evolving. i think that's what makes it hard for me to believe. i truly wish i did. it would make life so much easier if i believed in a higher power above all of us. maybe one day ill suffer a concussion and end up believing, we'll see.

instead of “wishing” just make yourself delusional, make yourself forget your rationality and blindly follow it, with habit of praying and reading the bible and doing other practices, you will become like them.
the catch is you will regain consciousness from times to times which could ruin your whole “delusional” progress.
i’m also an atheist and I don’t believe any religion is real. the only thing that helped me through anything or even speaking to people about religion that were against me was genuinely just not caring anymore. i know I will find a solution to my problems sooner or later and I know that they are going to last until the day I die, and that is our horrible truth.
consciousness is our enemy, my friend. the more conscious you are, the more depressed everything will feel, the only solution to that is to not care, but in a positive way.
