I have the same thoughts on things as your dad did it sounds like. Iâve had a really tumultuous relationship with religion throughout my life though.
I think religion has a tricky system lately. I grew up catholic, but around my teenage years a lot abuse stories from the catholic church, including cardinals and priests came out. Obviously we drifted.
However, a few years ago a family member got cancer. I passed by a churched and prayed. Praying was the only thing I could do. It's hard to explain, but im a drifted catholic.
Feel free to DM me to discuss further if that helpful?
I write about religion in my poetry sometimes. I just wrote a satirical narrative poem recently, actually.
I totally get the feelings youâre talking about here, but I guess I stopped trying to think about those a long time ago.
Not because Iâm avoiding them.
I constantly think about philosophy and the universe and meaning and origins of life, etc.
But I stopped thinking about if thereâs a creator, afterlife, etc.
I donât think that brings anything to me. Personally, not knowing and/or thinking that this life could literally be all and then weâre just atoms getting dispersed back into the void brings meaning to the current moment that goes beyond eternal life.
Weâre here and gone, possibly, so I feel like making the most of it is important.
You're one of my favourite writers on here!! ð
I love Ethel Cain, and really loved this too. Thanks for sharing
as an Ethel Cain listener, this beautiful piece deeply resonated with me. ðð

I also discovered this song recently and it stopped me in my tracks as well!!!!

Good post, all I can think to say is that God and religion are not the same thing...
