The church got way too political so you went from agnostic to atheist? How did your perception of the church resolve that ambiguity for you?

- jdavis703 5y agoI don’t know. Religion isn’t always logical. But if I had to guess I’d say Abrahamic religious belief is based on trusting spiritual authorities. When that trust is killed, I suppose it undermines one’s faith?
- xanaxagoras 5y agoI kind of see what you're getting at. I never had a lot of trust "spiritual authorities" to begin with. I do admire them and think its fantastic that some people are able to think about these big questions on a full time basis but it's not the kind of thing where you come away with an answer, at least not one that grants authority in my eyes. Also bad science doesn't undermine my faith in science.
