Well, I guess I'm a new user after being absent for so long lol. Thought about coming back on here after getting a bit too deep into the whole Dead Internet Theory recently. Back then, I was an ardent Atheist, but I have mellowed out over time. I still reject all forms of a higher power (including the more abstract "Universe"), but still see some utility in the more mythical or mystical aspects of religion. I realize they are all humankind's creations to create a narrative story about our existence on this lonely planet that we are seemingly hell bent on destroying. Now that I think about it, it's hard to believe that I signed up 15 years ago and now get annoying Grammarly suggestions as I type this. Ugh lol.
