The vast majority (but NOT all) #ActuallyAutistic humans live with alexithymia, making it difficult for us to either engage or express (sometimes both) with our emotional state.
When combined with interoception issues (in our bodies) we lose access to just about all feelings besides those that we intellectualize.
Getting in touch with both our emotions and our physical embodied sensations is essential for living fully.

I find myself not understanding the concept of atheism. Who wants to explain it to me in a coherent way for a beginner? With a metaphysical substantiation please, if that is at all possible.
@dingodog19@ber@cbontenbal@philosophy except evolutionary #philosophy shows us clearly how fairytales arise and can thrive. So there is evidence religion will arise without any truth to it.
Dont compromise with humbug.
