It sure AF ain’t easy being a rational thinking, or at least attempting to be a rational thinking Adult, AND a Conservative, with corn pone bullshit like this crap here, from Prager U. And whom I tend to agree with more often then not, but it annoys me to no end to see this clearly pandering fuckery. Mainly because I KNOW that someone with as keen a mind as Prager has SURELY knows this is exactly THAT- Pandering to the assumed christian base. He might be surprised, I think, by the real numbers of NON christians that are also conservative. But anyway, here is yet another fake ass “I used to be an atheist” bit of propaganda. I’ve never heard one of these YET that I ever actually believed the person spouting off had EVER actually been an atheist. And at the risk of sounding like a "True Scotsman’, hahaha, I really think a lot of these folks really don’t know what a REAL atheist even IS, lol… it seems the leftists have once again succeeded in fucking it all up so the average person just assumes THEY are what ‘atheists’ are… Adrienne Johnson: Why I Am No Longer an Atheist | PragerU
I think she probably believes in what she’s saying.
Since she had no guidance or boundaries growing up, which led to self destructive behavior, she turned to religion as a way to rescue herself from that, and create those boundaries.
If she’d been guided into a study of Objectivism, the philosophy based on reality and reason, by her counselor, instead of “whatever religion made her feel good”, she might have become fully rational.
But my point remains. She was NEVER any type of ‘atheist’, and it’s annoying AF to hear these crap pseudo ‘cautionary tales’ about how ‘baaaad’ those godless atheists are, smmfh… It is just yet another “I used religion to fill up the holes in my life that I’m too weak to actually buckle down and sort out myself, like an Adult” stories, to me.
Yes, you’re right - she was never really an an atheist in a conscious way. She just unconsciously absorbed the atmosphere she grew up in.
And I agree, it does get really tiresome to hear Christians talk about how the problem with leftists is that they’re all “godless atheists” - as if being an atheist automatically makes you a leftist!
Because of course the only thing that can POSSIBLY fill the “hole” is to worship government.
Ipso Facto!
