Please tell me that some of, if not a large percentage, of my fellow atheists get tongue tied when faced with in depth thoughts.
I feel as though I spend a lot of my time contemplating existential issues and would be much relieved to discuss them. I am absolutely open to corrections of faulty assumptions, and education on so many subjects, but I can rarely get the questions out.
This is partially why I feel like I would do a bit better in a face to face, group setting. I get bogged down by my desire to express my question precisely and I'm too tired to type that shit out, by the time I've worked it out in my mind.
Ugh...this took a lot out me, as well.
I want to learn! Any pointers from, my concise and intelligent group members?
Face to face is always better for me, either one on one or in a small, tight knit group. Typing things out does help clarify your thoughts, but it has a cost.
I'm not sure I'm on the right track here, but I am also at a loss when it comes to answering the "big questions", but I think that is the way it should be. If there was a right answer, then we would know all there is to know about the universe and our place in it, which I believe is beyond our comprehension.
i feel exactly the other way: as english is still my second language i absolutely appreciate the fact that typing out my truth allows me to correct slurs, inaccuracies, wrong vocabulary. when speaking i mostly feel rushed, haven't the time to reflect the exact meaning of what i'm going to say.
