Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

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.

    Well, just to clear any confusion: I was raised Catholic and was a big fan of what Jesus said and did (still am, ofc) but the Paulian/Roman nature of the Frankenstein'd Trinitarian tradition just didn't make sense so I was a very young atheist (arguing in Yahoo answers and everything, lol, the good old days) at the age of 11-12. Then I read more and life changed my circumstances and with it, my perspective, and I became a monotheist at the start of my 30s, like Jesus and those of his time and before him were. I'm a Muslim man today (I just don't take the hadiths seriously because, duh, but idk if this means anything to you, I'm just making sure I'm understood). And I'm not American, we don't have these popular sects or whatever where I'm from.

    And no, "my religion" doesn't allow me to judge, my morality and my brain does. The same way you can judge yourself and know when you acted right or not (hopefully), I can do it as well. And when I see "moral relativity" for the sake of hedonism, I gotta say something, for all of our sakes (because I need a reminder as well). I'm not here hating on people because they watch Harry Potter or eat too much candy, lol, I'm talking about something that can only evolve into tragedy, so one must be wary of it and avoid it, because "it feels good!" cannot be a passable moral argument (that's the "Diddy/Epstein argument", after all).

    “my religion” doesn’t allow me to judge, my morality and my brain does.

    Yeah, I know. Your religion expressly forbids judging others. You don't know anything about alcohol. Therefore no one will be interested in your thoughts on it.
