I've been thinking about this one a lot lately... I think im pretty much a secular humanist (I wish I wasn't since it seems to easy to fit in with being a Christian, but I am what I am...
) but it seems almost pointless to bring up religion when getting to know the womenz knowing full and well they want a christian dude or something of the sort... Outside of religion, i'm sure i'm just as capable as any other dude. Religion always seems to be that kill-switch on relationships though... especially if you are asked how you will raise your kids... do you straight out tell them "there is no god" or what?
In short, I know what I am and how I think...but how can it be communicated to others when necessary? As of late I'm thinking I should just fib about it and fake the funk to keep the options open...
It would be so much easier if all of these religious skeptics "came out of the closet" as it may be. There is a lot of them but I feel, much like gays, they're kinda scare to express themselves and how they feel about religion and life in general. I almost understand what they go through. I'm sure they don't want to be ridiculed or go through what they experience and wish they didn't have to or even think they're not "normal" so they will to assimilate. I've hard this similar perspective when it comes to religion in that I almost used to think I was different or not normal for not being able to believe fully...but I know much better now and I'm more comfortable just outright saying how much of a skeptic I am of religion in general. (I know the jokes are coming about this line, but I'm trying to keep this one serious and I hope ya'll see where I'm going with this.
).
I'm just thinking about this sort of intellectual cross-roads i'm at...
...and nah, i'm not thinking about getting married yet
...just picking the NT's brains
