my life has had a more diverse set of experiences
Yeah, I strongly, strongly doubt that. Not just from the way you think and write but from the conclusions you draw about everything you express thoughts about.
I don’t argue as much in my usual social circles
Yeah probably because you know how ridiculed and ostracized you'd be in almost any social circle. Referring to normal common human behavior as "hedonistic" and repeatedly babbling about "monotheism" is not only unpopular and weird, no one cares about those topics. News flash: most anyone who is religious is monotheistic. Therefore it's not interesting or notable to bring up EVER. Let alone CONSTANTLY.
And still, you didn’t disagree.
I disagree with practically everything you've ever written, that I've seen. Here's one thing we agree on: "religion doesn't need to be used for bad". That's it. Nothing else. I get shit on every time I say it on here but I'll keep saying it, because it's true. But again, NOTHING else you write resonates in any positive way for me whatsoever.
Here's what I glean from what you write.
- You were raised in a cult and heavily sheltered.
- You don't talk to normal people often enough to know what "normal" is.
- You apparently believe in some form of Christianity that emphasizes hatred of pleasure in all forms and also emphasizes judgement to the extreme. It's not a problem for you that the Bible expressly forbids the passing of judgement. Somehow that part always gets skipped, which you have in common with fundamentalist psychopaths.
- Yeah, alcohol can easily be bad, but I don't see any reason to think you know anything about it firsthand.
- You come off as literally caring about nothing but using your "religion" as an excuse to judge.
