A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This is also true and a really valid perspective to consider.

I feel like the answer OP was trying to go for was "they both love the thing so much they couldn't do it" but that's a really narrow-minded view of human experiences. I'm actually wondering how many people are like me and believe in God but feel no more love for God than they do any random things in life.

Exactly! I would probably think more of my cat because to me, god is just some character from a book that may or may not be real.
