Do people really lose their religion because of logic and reason? I’ve never seen this. There is usually some deeper story. If someone asks me why I don’t believe, despite being raised in the church, I’ll simply say it didn’t make sense and babble on about reason and logic if they push. This is just a shield to avoid sharing the truth with people I don’t trust on a very deep level.
- duped 4mo agoYes. Your experience is not every experience.
- al_borland 4mo agoThis is why I said “usually”, and provided an example from my life, instead of saying “always” as if it was a universal fact.
- Chu4eeno 4mo agoNo, but it's extremely common. Whenever I've met people who claim to have "reasoned" their way out of religion it has always been extremely shallow teenage rebellion, and always driven by feelings. Even aalewis was "euphoric".
- SR2Z 4mo agoYes, it tends to be the youths who reason themselves out of religion precisely because they don't have a strong emotional connection to it.
