Your faith timeline.

[PSOL]

Shopped around for a tradition that might suit me but was turned off by the dominance of TERFs, Neo-Nazis, and feel-good revisionist hippies in all the circles I became

Ok I’m actually interested in what this looks like.

I mean, I knew beforehand that Wicca has a strong following by Radical Feminists, but I assumed that there would be several known parallel groupings accepting of/for Transgender folks like some all-gay communes I’ve heard about.

Feel-good revisionist hippies? Uh, could you explain that further?

My faith timeline has been a bit spiced up, with there being three major episodes in my life so far along with 4 major shifts in belief

The beginnings 1/3: Uncaring about the Faith. Associated with my youth as I had yet to form political opinions. Outside of doubting a few relatives overseas in their atheism with gotcha questions, I did not care, and I don’t think agnosticism would be the right choice here to describe young me

2/3: begin learning more about the world through books and the internet. I was in school and mainly doing that outside of periods of work in my latter years. I developed into an agnostic period where I thought that there might be a chance for spiritual powers to exist

3/3 outside of a latter month(s?): atheism. Associated with periods of absence of me working and me struggling with staying in school. Became quite sure in my belief that there was no gods out there or spiritual beings. Still, I was and still am irl interested about faith systems and learning more.

Now: stability in my life but not faith. I’ve become sort of a caricature irreligious person in the eyes of fundies by somewhat embracing misotheism and hating god and all that. I think my recent anger at the abstract is bleeding through. Still, I’m having debates in my head that hating something which is not real is kind of nonsense, but whatever. Honestly, maybe in me progressing with my life I’m realizing what has been lost before, and am lashing out in undirected anger at things which do not exist as a proxy for what does. I’ll probably revert back to atheism as I get a grip on my life and COVID isn’t f•••ing my life up
