yes i have personal & intimate reasons for my own (lack of) religious/supernatural beliefs, but it's not dishonest to admit: i am also an atheist bc at no point in my life have i, after completing a slightly unpleasant task, been witness to an angel/imp/sprite/devil/entity-of-any-kind manifesting in all their glory to offer me a pat on the head and a little plastic baggy of crackers (by way of encouragement/reward).

call me childish but in my heart of hearts i cannot truly participate in a belief system that tolerates such negligence

#ok u are free to believe in angels who perform miracles very very rarely when no one is watching #and i am free to disbelieve (and be disappointed and judgemental) in angels who (fail to) perform boring acts of mild encouragement #look if a spiritual being & divine messenger isn't gonna be my imaginary friend when i'm 7 years old and having a hard day #then what is the goshdarn POINT of yall?#blah blah blah revelations & prophecies. if you can't show up sit down shut up and comfort a lonely 2nd grader having a 1-person tea party #then u aren't qualified for any divine duty nonsense. gtfo
