This is from Reddit…

“An apathist (or apatheist) is someone who feels deep indifference, apathy, or lack of interest toward the existence or non-existence of God(s) and religious dogma. Rather than denying a deity, they find the entire subject irrelevant to their life. The term stems from combining apathy with theism.”

I like it.

"Il est très important de ne pas prendre de la ciguë pour du persil, mais nullement de croire ou de ne pas croire en Dieu."

"It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but by no means is it about believing or not believing in God."

'Apatheist'...or 'Apathist', depending on one's feelings about the letter 'e'.

I was long-ago hurt by a individual fount capital and its cohort. It cut profoundly and is still an sobbing wound.

That would easily describe my views. I truly don’t have time to think about

JB - just randomly curious, do you spend much time on Reddit? Any subs you'd recommend to like-minded individuals as yourself?
