Bree, I haven’t been brainwashed on any level. And "honey" is extremely condescending. Do you know Francis Collins, the head of NIH & founder of the Human Genome Project? Yeah, he became a Christian well after he began his science career. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
I sense a lot of anger in you, that you feel compelled to spout off about fairytales to a stranger, not to mention the "honey." Not the most articulate of arguments, and certainly not respectful discourse.
If you have soul-searched and researched various beliefs systems, then more power to you. I respect your right to put your faith wherever you’d like. I’d ask the same from you in return. I don’t know you. I’ve never read anything you’ve written. I’m curious as to why you chose to read the comment thread of an obviously faith-based article and leave a nasty comment🤷‍♀️.
Be well, and be honest with yourself about your heart/ intentions behind comments like this.
