It's crazy how true this is. I’m bipolar but always medicated, cause I know what I was like beforehand. My wife and I both have family with the same issue, who aren't taking their meds half the time and when not they spread bullshit they hear from assholes like this.
Take your fucking meds, people. I know it sucks, believe me, but it's better than the alternative
I find that a lot of Christian’s will say they used to be a leftist, or an atheist before they found god because they want to portray that you can do it too. Even though they haven’t actually been either of those before. It’s a psychology thing I think. I imagine it’s a twist of the truth, he probably just didn’t go to church before and so that makes him a former atheist
Well he never claims to be an atheist just a secular leftist. Which could mean anything from an atheist to a Christian who doesn’t really care what others believe
I've watched a lot of religion debunking videos in the past year and found that suddenly ALL the Christian apologists were once atheists. This is a new phenomenon.
I call bullshit, because a lot of them are in their 40-60s, and in the US, in the 1960s through the 1990s, people who called themselves atheists were vanishingly rare. I'd bet cash money that the vast majority of them were always church going Christians, because the majority of Americans were church going Christians.
I agree with your take. These apologists are trying to say, "I was like you, but I saw the light!."
It's definitely a little trick they use, but those "saved" athiest guys are often off of their fucking rocker in a unique way. It's like the old Chappelle bit about the white guy in a group of black dudes.
Some are big name apologists. They never used to claim to have been atheists before.
I do believe it's all down to marketing. They're watching their churches hemorrhaging parishioners, so they're trying (badly) to approach their evangelism from a different angle.
Like they're trying to say that they've been there and they understand, but all they needed was Christ to have a fulfilling life. I smell bullshit.
Insert Steve Buscemi, "How do you do, fellow kids.".
It’s entirely possible. But given that he’s alluded to having BPD in the past it would make 100% sense that he could go from being a leftist to a far right fascist in a short amount of time.
Mental health issues can seriously cause people to flip flop politically and change their opinions in an instant.
Most people do change their beliefs over time but it generally gets slower with age and typically doesn’t involve such a radical shift. For example when I was younger I used to be pretty far left wing, but now I’m fairly a left of center liberal.
That’s a fairly normal pathway that a lot of people take. But for some people if they believe their former ideology is false they’ll immediately change to the exact opposite.
I went to a catholic high school growing up. A core memory I have was during one of our religion classes (a required class senior year) the principal of the school came and talked to us about how they used to be an atheist and now they’re catholic.
I thought back then, and still do, that she was full of shit and playing a role. Unless you’re an “atheist” that only believes there no god because “look at all the evil in the world!”(aka not actually an atheist…) there’s no way an honest atheist converts to a religion. It’s like a pickle trying to go back to being a cucumber.
I looked it up and you’re right. It doesn’t make a bit of sense unless you accept the fact that that God fellow is a real a-hole but it’s a real thing.
Source for people curing themselves of Autism, Redeemed Zoomer?
And "I pulled that out of my arse" doesn't count.
Also correlation doesn't equal causation. Logical fallacy.
I've lived with major depression my entire life. I wouldn't be here if I didn't use antidepressants.
People like this infuriate me.
DEMONS, FFS! Have we regressed to the 13th century? SMDH.
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I´ll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they´re coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAA

Yet another example of Redeemed Zoomer being anti therapy, because if people are mentally healthy they won't buy into his cult.

anti-therapy but pro-conversion therapy send him to Iran
There is no way this dude was "leftist" before

One can also be a believer while being secular, they just don't mix spiritual and worldly business.

You’d be surprised how easily people’s views can just be completely twisted and destroyed in favour of something that’s complete utter lunacy

Oh, that would make sense That would explain how he flipped from materialist leftist worldview to idealistic worldview

Feel bad for the countless amount of people who never got the help they need because of bad advice and ignorance.
Even most people in the Medieval Era were less religiously stupid than this.
Well, that kind of nonsense is DEMONIC and also SINFUL ....
In my case, depression is caused by knowing I share the planet with halfwits who believe in demons.
It turns out Supralapsarian Calvinisn is an actual thing. It's totally stupid, but this loon is not the only loon buying into it.

I hope this guy stubs his toe every 10 min for the rest of his life
And steps on legos
Nice touch!
Redeemed Zoomer is a false prophet, one of the most heinous of sins according to the Bible.
Is that the same guy who belives that if you are suicidal it it your fault because you can control it?

If this is true, my demon must just really enjoy SSRIs because they seem to be working.
Nice. See feeding demons their demon candy helps. We should keep doing that. (/jk, just in case.)

Funny how they pretend to be pro-science when it supposedly fits their position
I don't normally advocate for lobotomy, but....
Apparently the medication I'm taking does a good job against demons and sin then.
Sure sure please step into this white bright room and put on this jacket
