Does having a personal relationship with God works like having a Comfort character?⁠｡⁠*°

I'm not talking about cultural influences religion affects, or how it gets used for Power.. but more about the types of people that talk to their God personally, usually for grievances or how they look up to them like a role model. There's some overlap I see with how people use modern fandoms n characters,,

For context I am not religious, but I do have a background in an abrahamic religion (⁠ー⁠_⁠ー⁠゛⁠)

I just think the psychology of religion is super interesting considering how old religions and beliefs have existed a long side Humans. The need to believe in hope though, I think is necessary, whether you're religious or not.

Has anyone watched The Good Place? Highly recommend the show delves into a lot of philosophical topics!

I think the rise in people using Artificial Intelligence, specifically LLMs as companions is an interesting topic, especially when correlated with the rising loneliness epidemic, and just how much newer generation's style of socializing has changed.

whats your fav book that dabbles in philosophy (like a fictional book or something that really portrays some form of philosophy)

what is your favourite philosophical theory of dealing with absurdity of existence... mine has always been existentialism idk ive always felt that deeply, but i am open to others too

hey guys! welcome, i’m so glad you’re here ^^

we should do introductions; how’d you get into philosophy? experiences, ideas, concepts, anything that interested you in the topic counts!

—

for me, i’m ngl it stemmed from my fascination with psychology; i could say that there’s a huge overlap that explains this, since psychology covers how the human mind works, and philosophy studies the beliefs and the morals, values and ethics someone holds affects our thoughts and actions which i think is pretty cool hehe.. wb you guys? (eugh there’s lit nobody else in this group but me yo there IS no ‘guys’ yet 🫩🫩)

Waddup the other 9 ppl in dis place- ok so idk if it has a more specific name but it’s smth bout religious guilt, fun right?

I might be gay as hell but whenever my lil sis asks me anything about that stuff i feel really guilty about informing her of anything, same for when shes like ‘im gay hehe’ or sees anything queer as normal- which she does 4 everything. Not that id prefer her hating it- twas rly annoying when she was like dat, but i also feel like its wrong of me to normalise it 4 her.

It makes me feel like im js saying wrong things and making her believe it. Cause like its a sin in this religion and im doing sum rly bad thing whenever i tell her bout dis stuff.

All i can say as the me who can’t explain feelings at all is dat it makes me feel like im doing something wrong, the sentence is rly small and simple but the feeling is rly bad idk how 2 explain, religion rly be doin u like dat lol

Yea idk wat i wanted 2 say bru dis feeling is annoying and weird & i don understand it much ig das all.
