How has religion affected you?

[Sainku]

None at all, negative or positive. May have when I was young but I can't really remember. I'm not an athiest though. It's not that I don't believe in a god, I just have extremely differen't views from the current crop of religions out there and am very uncertain about the whole thing.

yuri and stern cool it please.

You are still suffering from that new mod syndrome, I see... :upstare:

3ssence: try reading the thread from the beginning

Rather a cheap response to what i said. First thing i did before posting. First thing i always do before posting....

And i still stand by my opinion that what you said in that quote wasn't fair... a generalisation of christians, and incorrect, as the majority are not as you perceive them in that statement.

just drop it and let other people express their beliefs before this thread is locked

Probably best on everyones part. My view is that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. I have my belief, you have yours (i.e. there is no god) and that's fine, and i see no reason to insult that.

Nothing against you personally stern, no offence intended, my apologies if i caused any.

My grandmother, whom is a very strong Catholic, made it a habit with myself to go to church on Sunday mornings.

That's it really, I go there to clear my mind and just relax.

It makes me angry.

But your drugs make you happy. So there's a balance out there for you.


But I can see how you get angry at something that makes others happy.

I am ALWAYS judged by reaktor4. There's a back and forth history between him and I. I get on his ass about his drugs, he gets on my ass about my religion. So I saw another opportunity and took it just like he would.

Its not staying for long. I gotta change it back to the cow. I have too many death threats coming my way unless I do so. ;(

With the light of this thread and all that is holy, I will never stop my crusades against your heresy until my jihad for you to return your cow to the Holy Land is completed!
