Title. Interested to see the response from different religions

Edit: Stating your religion would be appreciated. Lack of religion counts for the purpose of this question. Also let’s not downvote people for differing religions, all voices are welcome here. If no; why?

    It depends. My religious affiliation is likely therianthropy. I don’t follow a traditional religion, and see it more as a spiritual practice, much in the same way that a trans person may deeply explore their gender identity–I am also trans.

    My requirements are simple; Code of conduct, not a code of “facts”. I will not engage with creation theories and such. It is an insult to science, and often resists fundamentally good change.

    I also will not engage with a “Reddit atheist”. I think this requires no further explanation–I was one.

      What is a “Reddit atheist”? Are those the people who decry all religion as being inherrently evil and announce their atheism unprompted everywhere they go like Arch-using crossfit vegans?

        While I am not the previous poster, that’s certainly how I’d describe it. The “I am euphoric” types who care only about the circlejerk.

        Aye. I’m not proud of it. If you think about it, it’s kind of just conservatism, just not in an expected way.

        I’ve seen a few around here.

          Growing and bettering ones self is what matters. Good on you for breaking the cycle. Not everyone can do that.

            I’ve made it a goal in life to put more thought into things. It is indeed a major turnaround. Thank you for the kind words!
