Something to think about...

I wonder if I can get Freedan or Deathpit to say it....

Religion... a structure that early humans made to explain things in life that happened when they didn't have the means to understand it. Simple yet unproven answers that people use has a crutch in their everyday life, and a means to start wars because they are too narrow minded to see beyond their own ideas and beliefs.

Even though I'm a zen buddist, I also feel that I should live day by day and not spend my life worring about an afterlife.

while i agree with that first paragraphy thingy ... i don't think you should actually say that unless you are arguing against something where that point would aid in your argument ... can't go around randomly insulting the way people think ... that would be like me insulting the way you talk, even though i haven't met you at any point in time ... pointless and rediculous ... we moved off the religion thing ages ago so if you wanna bring it back up be a bit suttle ... not just full on like that

[Dark Samurai]

I forgot to add that even though I feel that religion may be a crutch for people, the majority of people still need to believe in something like that. Some people draw hope from religion, so it is an important part of their life. Not all people can live like I can, not that I'm bragging or anything.

Hm. I only know one other who is Buddhist. I find the religion quite interesting, actually. Though I'm Christian, I am no means closed-minded to other religions at all. Yes, I am still firm in what I believe, but I do find the beliefs of others interesting to see. To date, I've been to a Mormon church (long service, it was. 3 hours. x.x; ) and if I had gone to my uncles funeral a couple years ago, I would have participated in a Buddhist funeral (my mom did at least, she didn't want me to go).

And, as you restarted the original topic, I don't use my religion as a crutch. There has only been once, but it was for the sole reason I didn't want to die/be brain dead. If you're curious, I can't have immunizations, and people with religious exempts don't have to have them. After having immunizations as a baby, I had a number of seizures, and my mom would rather not have me brain dead or a corpse at all.

I wasn't trying to insult anyone with what I said, I have no problems with any of the religions of the world. I hate it when people use religion as an easy way out of an answer, or when people use it as a manipulative tool to get others to do what they want(i.e. Bin Laden), or the people who feel that they need to convert others in order to "save them"( the tv evangelicals come to mind but I'm not going to point fingers), or the "Anal Christians"(as I call them) that find things they don't like and try to change them to their way(i.e. burning Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. cards, books, and praying for their "God" to save/help people who do not believe in their religion).

And before I wasn't trying to insult others with my idea about life and after life, and I'm sorry but I'm not so subtle.

i aint insulted ... i don't believe in any religion myself ... just pointing out that you may accidently offend some people whether or not it was intentional

You didn't insult me at all. But yes, Death-boy is right. You might wanna be more careful with what you say about religion (though it IS true)

[Muerte]

[inferiare]

You brought it upon yourself with that username.

Lol, Magic cards (and even Harry Potter! The evil! ) are a-okay with the Catholic Church. D&D almost is as well, although there is still some debate in the Church about it.

Me and my brother [Divine Champion] converted one of our Catholic friends to liking D&D as well, even though his dad doesn't like it.

But what you believe what you believe. I myself believe Agnosticism and atheism are convient excuses to do whatever they feel like but what can I say?

[Muerte]

but just because you may be atheist doesn't mean you just do what you want you still live by your beliefs ... what is right and wrong by your own standards etc ... blah blah blah ... not in the mood to think up a worthy argument

Kuso! Did you all see that post? I am turning into your all's kind! Soon it will be pages of one-line RP punchup spam.
