Everything you said is true for me. What surprised me lately was the people who remain irrational, discriminatory, and ignorant by choice. My family is sadly...among them.
I'm sorry to hear that about your family. However, you seem to be different from them. Maybe you're family isn't the smartest but they're the only ones you got. If you want to understand others, try talking to them like equals.
I don't understand how I could grow up and end up being completely different from my family. I see the world in a true light, at least, how I perceive it.
I understand now what is the problem with them. It's a combination of society-enforced pressures, closed-mindedness, and religion that has tainted their minds.
It would be all fine and dandy though if they didn't try to enforce their views on me. A good chunk of the world is like this.
I think that you just strive hard to reject your parents beliefs, which is okey so long as you love them, which I think you do.
Ya I think that religion can have that effect on some people, sorry that it effected your parents in a bad way.
I think that you're a smart enough person to live your own life without having someone shove their beliefs down your throat. Still, they're your parents and you gotta love them.
I don't try to reject their beliefs. I was raised as a full blown Pentecostal Christian and tried so hard to get closer to God. If he existed, he just didn't care.
For the longest time, my parents never even knew I was Atheist. I just hid it from them for good reason. I figured there was no way to properly argue with them, as they will cheat the argument and force me to go back to Church.
I'm just...diss-appointed in the majority of humanity. They only seem interested in what makes those 'happy feelings' come. They don't want knowledge, they want feeling.
Most people want to escape reality and feel good. Drug addicts do it. I'm not saying your parents are drug addicts I'm just saying their behavior is understandable. Also, knowledge can usually lead to misery. I mean just look at what happened to Adam and Eve. If your family wants to stay happy then let them.
Is it normal I'm Fascinated with the Human Mind?
