Antitheism and egalitarianism (read anti-feminsm). I was an ubsufferable cunt. Not to excuse my cuntness, I was raised Mormon: condescending hatred of all those not like me was all I knew.
Tends to be the way things go. You see the flaws in something you believed in and go too far to the extreme opposite direction.
I used to believe in god about 45 years ago, does that count?
Pizza party, soccer practice, Christmas, whenever it's served really
I actually genuinely believed for awhile as a kid/young adult that ADHD was a gift and that society wouldn't try to strangle and kill me for having it in a million ways.
Kony 2012, not the genreal idea of raising awareness about Joseph Kony, but that it would actually lead to his capture.
I drank the atheist nihilistic hedonism kool aid when I was a kid (Christianity is too contradictory and that soured my view on belief in general) and I didn't get out of that "lol I just wanna have fun, what's personal responsibility?!" Ideological hole until my mid 20s. 🥲
"Nothing matters so just have a good time" doesn't necessarily mean you also can't be a "good" person.
I believed I was a man.
I used to think that thinking had deep intrinsic significance. (That's what I get for growing up in a thinking-obsessed culture)
I always thought Kool-Aid just tasted like water
It did in our house because mom wouldn't add sugar.
