If I took a shit and it came out as a brick of pure gold , how big of a yacht would I buy ? Since we ' re asking questions about hypothetical situations that will NEVER HAPPEN and all . <| sep |> However I have to say , it ' s interesting that you still think there might be an allpowerful being out yet you think it ' s not important to know more about whether that is true or false . I ' m open to the possibility , but the existence of a god wouldn ' t change anything in my life which is why I don ' t bother with its existencenonexistence . If such a being exists , it doesn ' t bother showing it ' s presence and therefore it doesn ' t care whether or not we believe . But you ' re saying it like they should be allowed to debate the signs . No , but you should be able to explain it . You should be able to explain why your decision is a good idea , regardless of where it ' s inspired from . Also , I don ' t think learning from a relationship or through religion makes any difference once you understand what it takes to make a relationship work . Out of curiosity , is your definition of a loving relationship the same as the one I gave ? Somewhat , but I wouldn ' t use the word submission to describe it . Now I will say that raising a kid in the Catholic church is a little different because the Catholic church is genuinely harmful in a lot of their beliefs , That ' s generally my thoughts on any form of organised religion . Well that ' s not quite fair , I ' m not at all trying to demonize atheists . I didn ' t say you specifically , but it ' s quite a recurring thing to hear that atheists can ' t possibly have morals or can ' t be trusted to behave in any moral fashion because they don ' t believe in a god . But I also need someone who challenges me in my faith . But not challenge it . To me that sounds like loving an echo chamber . We ' re both just real shy XHaha well still , which you both the best of luck !
