Thanks for telling me. More Trilafon tonight.
But I still believe this is any competent parent's duty. I do. To just pretend like God never existed for anyone because you worship Heidegger and the human brain is negligent and unfair to that child. What if the child is born with an undiagnosed and untreated congenital illness and blindness and might derive comfort in contemplating any higher power? Five year olds in mixed states do not feel better after reading Nietzsche.

Its a lot to take in. You feel how you feel. I think its good that you're allowing yourself to explore your truth. Just take it in small bites if you can.
I think sometimes parents are still struggling with these questions themselves and don't do a good job of just owning up to that. I'm not justifying your parent's choices, but you were at least loved enough to know compassion and higher love in several forms. That is in a way spiritual depending on how you look at it. I also think its cool you're doing more for your children.
Don't be sorry, you know I have your back. Take some time away and let this mellow for a bit and then revisit it. You can unpack it in phases. I think it was Beth who reminded me its a game of intensity. We can do what we need to do, we just gotta be smart about how we do it. The love you feel from your God is eternal. There's no rush
