Yeah sorta. She's torturing me because she's just a hottie bad bitch like that 🥵
I try to separate “believing” things — ie, concluding that I will accept something as true (helpful) — from “believing in” things, which edges more into hoping and convincing myself (problematic).
No. Raised in the faith but never truly believed.
I used to as my parent taught me that but now as a grown up , I dont believe in god. I mean I am not sure if god exists so I dont believe in god. Just like ghosts, aliens etc.
God? No... Gods? Yea sure, i believe in nature, i believe in the balance of everything, and for a lack of giving my faith a focus, i have turned to the norse gods multiple times.
They arent omnipotent, they arent all knowing, but they are beings bumbling around the universe like us, doing dumb ass shit... like all of us... and you can ask for favors, but dont expect to get it granted, because if you arent willing to make a sacrafice, and do the groundwork, why on earth would they help you?
"Omnism" is the closest definition to what I'm trying to define. Debates will never end, but I'm happy with my own path
Yup I sure do
I believe in me. You are all being perceived by me. And anything I cannot perceive is not in the realm of existence.
