"Losing My Religion" is about losing the person you love sis ^^

you really thoughT atheist song would slay the charts in the 90's?

Bitch.

You didn't lie though

Scalp us all

Who already considered converting to a religion here (don't tell me about how we were raised in religion, I'm talking about actually wanting to)

Communion must have leaked Lucas' posts to the goverment

One of my biggest obsessions was studying the history of Japan (probably one of the most entertaining histories of a country) and I had to learn things about Budhism. It seemed so logical that I was thinking of converting to it

I've been wanting to get into Buddhism so much but it's very hard on your own imo the information is kinda not there..

Taking a class on the four major religions (Islam, Hindu, Christianity, and Buddhism), I realized that Buddhism is the most rational and frills free of the bunch and it attracted me as well. I liked the fact that it seemed more like a lifestyle guide than a religion.

But I'm always biased for Christianity cause some of my best memories are attached to my Christian childhood so my mind is always looking for justification to return.

When the pope declared evolution to be real.

"God is not a magician"

2016 wasn't all bad.

I didn't really get into Hinduism but isn't it too much like the ancient religions of greece and egypt?

Yeah, I also thot of converting to Buddhism at one point, after watching some interviews of Tina Turner Buddhists always seem very happy and positive, and I do think it probably has some good therapeutic effects, but I don't really know where to start nor have time for that sort of thing at the moment.

My family is not too religious but we were still raised Catholic It's more tradition than actually belief.

Omg, I missed very interesting conversations.

Not to make a gross generalization but US Evangelicals are the most hypocritical group ever. They claim to profess wholesome family values yet voted for ***** grabber Trump. Just saw an outrageous The Atlantic article that says instead of "condemning them" we should appeal to them? Those people are a lost case.

especially since these uglies wanted Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz or whoever those other Republicans were, and now they worship Trump like he's second coming of jesus

radical beliefs tend to be just that, hypocritical

This was me with Mormons this election since SO MANY of them were actually talking about not voting for Trump that I thought the good sane sis Evan had a chance to take Utah.

And then their lying asses voted for Trump still en masses. ****ing liars.

Right? They're all nuts. Glad we can all agree on that

Was it Ecstasy who posted a few pages back that atheist/agnostics don't really share an ideology or anything besides lack of belief?

While that is true, I think the implications of being an atheist differ from country to country. Being irreligious is not a big deal at all in places like France (or that's the feel I get from the few months I spent there--correct me if this is false, FBF) and the Czech Republic. Or in places like China where due to communism being irreligious was encouraged. But in North America where I've lived (Mexico and the Southern US) being an atheist is associated with freethinkers and intellectualism because atheists are people who shake the religious frame of the societies they live in. So yeah while it's not associated with any ideology in some places atheists do tend to be more liberal and intellectual, imo.
