Ex-believers, what made you quit your religion/cult?
  • I was a Christian.

    I was an "everything has an explanation" type of kid/teen and was always asking why/how.

    This led me to looking into different denominations of Christianity with different explanations but none of them sat right.

    Eventually I gave up and decided that this must not be true and became a sort of hard-line "reddit atheist".

    I left that because I eventually found things that I also could not explain within this understanding and also found new explanations for things that didn't make sense as a Christian.

    This led em to looking deeper into many other religions and I eventually found one that satisfied me (which I will avoid saying to not draw hate/accusations of propagandizing which I don't want to deal with)

  • Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows
  • Have you never heard of "RINOS"? Republicans attack Republicans they don't agree with just as hard if not harder.

    The problem is, the Republican party actually rallies around what their constituents support because they know they need their base, while Democratic party expect their constituents to rally around what their leadership supports because they take their base for granted.

  • Democrats are only necessary if your goal is to maintain the illusion that America is a democracy which serves the people while maintaining the status quo.

    Democrats are a net negative. What is necessary is something we don't have and haven't had, a true leftist party. The lack of that necessary party is what has led us to this current situation.

    The Republicans being bad doesn't make the Democrats good. Especially when they are complicit.
