How would you feel if your entire belief system had collapsed around you?

[Neema]

65. I can't imagine that being possible for me because

I don’t think in black and white absolutes.

I’m spiritually agnostic because, while I’m highly suspect of the notion that there’s a robed white dude in the sky who cares whether or not I’m gay, I accept there are a LOT of things I don’t know about the universe. I sure would be disappointed to learn that God is A-OK with Joel Osteen grifting money for a huge mansion and private jet while people starve to death, but who knows?

I don’t think any leader is an infallible messiah, no matter how good they appear to be. Obviously the gulf of basic humanity between someone like Barack Obama and a shitstain like trump or McConnell is vast, but that doesn’t mean I think Obama is perfect by any stretch.

Sure I’m disappointed when someone I greatly admire turns out to be not so great, but simply don’t think it’s possible for my entire belief system to crash around me because I allow myself to change my mind as facts emerge.
