:frowny face:
Tell me, LJ/DW. What does it mean when your teacher asks you to explain how you deal with your existential fear of death, you do so, and then they say,
Thanks for sharing. There is so much in this post that needs to be unpacked, but this board isn't the time or place for it and I do respect your beliefs as they are right now at this point in your life.
And earlier they asked me, "If you don't mind, tell me again what you are hoping to gain from the class?"
Um. Okay. Maybe the teacher just isn't very good at saying things without accidentally sounding condescending. I'm going to wait a few more weeks, see if this keeps up, and if it does I'll send a email to them drowning in politesse, asking them to please stop assuming atheism is a quaint little phase on my part.
ETA: :checks something: Teacher is an ordained minister with a degree in Divinity. Oh. :nervous, edges away from class:
