I'm 27, and I'm non-religious and not spiritual. I just have no good reason to believe in anything like that. For me, just wanting something to be true isn't enough of a reason to believe in it. There are several things that I would like to be true that just aren't. I've come to terms with and accepted that. That's not to say that I'm close-minded or not open to being shown that something is true, but for me, there has to be tangible, measurable, verifiable evidence. A lot of that just has to do with the way that my brain works.

I just like knowing the truth and not sounding ignorant. One of my favorite quotes is from Abraham Lincoln: "I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him." I keep this quote in mind and try to live by that. Obviously, I'm not perfect, but it gives me something to strive toward. I don't believe in anything supernatural or a soul because I don't have any good reason to. There's no proof or evidence for either of those things—nothing that can be verified, tested, or measured.

I've met many people who were fine with me not being religious but weren't okay with me not being spiritual or not believing in the supernatural or ghosts. I still find those things interesting and like those types of things—hell, my favorite type of horror movies are the ones that have ghosts and demons and things in them. I'm open-minded to the idea of supernatural things being real, but again, I would need some type of verifiable proof before I'm just going to accept somebody's claim about it.

I'm also just not the type to accept people's personal testimony as evidence. I've walked this Earth for 27 years and never felt or experienced anything. I was technically religious for 21 of them. I've been in places where people have died, I've worked in nursing homes and hospitals, and even lived in houses where family members of mine have died, and never felt or experienced anything.

M27 I'm stupid bored. I work job with a job with a lot of down time. just looking for fun conversation. i have stupid amount of memes and can talk your ear off about almost anything. I'm a history and science nerd and also enjoy video games and more recently started watching some anime. come vent or chat or send memes or something lol I really don't have friends to do that with anymore. I have friends but they aren't those type lol. I feel I need throw this out there too cuz its a deal breaker for many people but im also non religious, not spiritual and left leaning.
