How long have you had your beliefs?

[Secret Chief]

Not a US term. That is likely the first time I've ever been called a sausage.

At the last national UK census some wit posed some typically British questions on twitter along the lines of:

1. Does any member of your household have:
a) the nerve
b) the gumption
c) the cheek

2. Is any member of your household a clever sausage?

I've had the core of my beliefs for roughly 40 years. I blame horror movies, heavy metal and punk music for everything.

I hear that those things are the reasons
for western society's fall from grace.

Western civilization needed some decline.
It's necessary to progress.

I have been an atheist since I learned that there were people who actually believed in the literal existence of deities, at some point circa 1980 or so.

I have believed in Interdependent Origination for considerably longer than I learned that Buddhism has a similar concept, so at some time between the 1970s and 1990s.

I have been an anti-theist since I realized how dangerous theism can be when it is not properly challenged.

I have been ignostic and an apatheist since I learned the concepts, perhaps five years ago.

But your avatar looks so Christian.
It reminds me of Ned Flanders.
