    religion in general yea that & more radical politics

    i actually think the effect of seeing your parents/family get completely brainrotted from all-day internet exposure has a lot to do with it . such a spiritually bankrupt, atomised society makes ppl have a thirst for something transcendant & communal maybe

    kinda the opposite for me, seeing my highly educated (PhD and masters) parents burn books and say frogs are turning ppl gay cuz that's what their pastor told em made me question religion

    but I see what ur saying, I think both points are valid

    true

    i grew up really secular & when i was younger i for sure felt like religion was antiquated, dying out. im finding the opposite to be true these days at least anecdotally. im agnostic personally but i have much more understanding/respect for faith

    i do think the loss of some of the rituals that come with religion (church, confessionals, prayer) really are detrimental in terms of lack of meditative practise, socialising, even a moral compass. living under capitalism ppl are just so blatantly incentivised to be alone in their apartment, arguing & ordering things online, being hedonistic completely detached from anything real . creates a void in oneself that doesn't /need/ to be filled by religion but it kinda fits the size of the hole left by modernity i think

    nah I feel similarly, I think we arrived to a similar position from opposite sides.

    couple weeks ago I actually attended an initiation ceremony with 20 other men, it was incredibly powerful, beyond description even if it weren't for the confidentiality aspect, so I heartily agree that so much good has been lost, we really tossed the baby out with the spiritual bathwater

    Attending the modern church is like attending Ted X sessions

    yeah, not to be rude, but non-denominational new churches just aren't it for me.

    the traditional churches with the formal ceremonies feel like you're closer to God, if that makes sense

    I dunno.. but most of the people I associate with and new people I meet still say grace and pray during social gatherings, lol.
