  • I had a recurring nightmare as a kid for years that I was in Hell and had to climb the hill at Golgotha and pray for mercy every day for eternity. I can still picture it clear as day some 30 years later.

    Religion is staying the fuck away from my kids.

    Edit: to be clear, I don’t indoctrinate them, they’ve always been free to make their own choices. The oldest went to church with Nana more than once. The youngest probably won’t, but they’ve got different mothers and those grandparents aren’t nearby. But as the oldest grew and developed their own strong critical mind, I felt free to voice my opinions on subjects when they came up organically. And I’m deeply critical of magical thinking.


  • I felt this way till recently. In my late 30s now with a feeling of confidence I’ve never had before. I work for myself, which goes a long way to figuring out “behind the scenes” stuff.

    Idk I feel like a more complete person now than I ever have. And when I was younger and suspected the adult world was full of bullshit, I was absolutely right.
