Pleased to meet you, selkie. After reading your intro, I can say that I was also there at one point in life... well not as a mom, but the transition from religion. I am still in the undecided camp when it comes to God's existence. I'm actually proud of that despite the peer pressure and labels that many atheists and theists try to impose on me.
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum.
Hello, everyone. I will go ahead and introduce myself. I am a middle-aged woman reared in an Evangelical Christian tradition. Lost my faith in college and then began to trundle back toward it like a stunned and addled beast of burden when I had children because I was not at all sure I could be a good mom, so I followed my internal "good mom formula" and that included taking my children to church. Was all over the map for several years due to "poor fit" between my beliefs and the dogmas of every church I tried. Eventually settled on Catholicism in 2006 due to the mystical elements which I was quite drawn to at the time--relics, incense, rosaries, prayers to the dead (saints)--SIGN ME UP. My woo-woo side loved all of this, and I deliberately tuned out the distasteful things I did not agree with in order to "go along to get along" (such as contraception bans and "holy days of obligation", and Marian adoration). During the Pandemic I realized how relieved I was to have a "pass" on attending Mass weekly and how quiet and internally peaceful I felt without any religion at all. And that is basically where I am to this day. I do not attend church. I do not pray. I feel very much at peace with the state of my soul and I get along well with both people of faith and those without. I consider myself to be NEITHER a believer nor a non-believer. I don't have enough evidence to call it, so I will sit out the religion debates and just live my life the best way I know how without stressing about questions I can't answer.
Recently watched Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Guardians of Galaxy part 1 was probably the best out of the 3.

Hmm
Watched the DC superhero movie, The Flash. I wish I would have saw it in the theaters on big screen. Reminded me of some of the best Spider-Man movies.

I recently released a self-help book with a commentary on the utilization of Classic Philosophy; the psyche and philosophy are intertwined. It is a brief 50-page read and is available on Amazon and wherever new books are sold.
