How about some religion stuff
| I don't know.
Nihilism ftw.
| Let's all love Lain.
| Does pagan traditions count as religion? I don't believe in God, but I honour some folk deities.
| Yeah, sure. It keeps me floating some days, and honestly I'll believe anything that'll keep me floating.
| Never believed in mythology, but zen is quite practical.
| I was a atheist until I entered hentai haven.
| >>164135 it makes a lot of sense. In hentai haven you can always respond with a vengeance to any who dare challenge you with the 'pics or didnt happen' meme.
| God is obvs made up to control people.
| >>164119 it's not that strange. My country was one of the last in Europe to be converted to Christianity and the pagan traditions never really went away, some of those are celebrated as much, if not more, than Christmas. I just feel closer to those traditions and believes, those are what my forefathers chose and developed, instead of Christianity which was forced upon us. Not that I believe them more, but I identify with and respect them more.
| I consider myself Pagan too, though I began as a Christian.
I don't mind either way, to me religion should serve the people, as opposed to the opposite, so I use it to add spice to my life as opposed to restrictions.
| I used to be atheist, dabbled in some paganism but eventually found my belief in God. It's all very personal. I don't do church though. I don't want other people interfering in my personal application of religion. It detracts from it.
| I'm Christian. Grew up Christian and questioned it. Studied Buddhism, the Havamal and several other belief systems. Came back around to being Christian. Even converted my formerly atheist girlfriend.
| Pff... faking normies...
ALL PRAISE OUR REAL GOD CTHULHU

I really doubt she is converted. She says so and does so for respect and because of the feelings she has for you so you do not get upset and for avoiding tensions.
It is exactly what I did with an ex gf of mine. She was/is religious, I am not. But there came a moment I gave up oposing for in the end it was just nonsense to brag about such naivity. So I pretended I got partly convinced. It seemed much more effective and easier for me to agree with her than her with me.
| >>164797 I understand where you are coming from, but you do not know me nor do you know my girlfriend.
| >>164814 Just curious. Was she religious before she was an atheist? Or was she an atheist from the start?
| >>164814
Of course I do not. But statistics and probability support what I say. Sure sure you are one of those occasions where the individuals do not fall into the median values of the data.
| >>164833 She has had a rough life. She couldn't accept a God that let things happen to her.
>>164912 People are more than statistics and median values, smart g/u/rl.
| >>164965
Noone said they are *only* statistics. But to give you an example, if 90% of people laugh when they hear a joke, 9 out of 10 you will laugh as well. If you do not there will be 9 who will. You not laughing does not invalidate an observation where your behaviour is just one among the many being studied.
| I have been touched by His noodly appendage.
| I've never had a reason to turn to a god or any religion, really. Even at my worst I wanted nothing more than to overcome my problems through my own efforts. I've found it leads to more personal growth than externalizing and seeking consolation. Nihilism, stoicism, individualism, personal development, that's my "religion". I'm more or less ambivalent to the idea of deities. If they exist, that'd be pretty kickass, but I doubt they actually care if people have gay sex.

Atheist. I don't believe in something that would conflict with the time of the dinosaurs. (Christianity is just a chaotic mess; when people say the god is always good, then lemme ask something. Why did it say in the old testament that gay people should be purged? What about the constsant acts of destruction (storm, the arc flood,etc)?
