Religion general

@Background Pony #0424  
Do you mean you don’t know the specific name of your religion,or you’re still trying to figure out what’s best for yourself?

@Dex Stewart  
The latter.

Info about what I’m looking for: I’m an introvert and I believe in the afterlife.

@Background Pony #0424  
Go for Buddhism or Hinduism. Best religion for the modern person. 10/10 won’t give you grief. All the cool ppl are buddhist and hindu. Talk to Ciaran or HorsesAndMuchMoar for…more.
 
However, them european pagan religions are making HUGE comeback in the zeitgeist. Talk to username Zincy to learn more. If you wanna invest on anything, also talk to him.
 
If you’re already jewish by ethnicity, can’t hurt to learn judaism. It’ll help you in life. I’m not joking.
 
Christianity is still the most popular religion and the richest blokes are probably christians, at least culturally. It’s a safe bet, although it do be under fire by pretty much everybody online and it’s the one that has been deconstructed and criticized the most in the english-speaking world and pop culture.
 
Lastly. DO NOT even consider Islam unless you wanna play life on the most unfair, broken, unplayable difficulty level in 2021. You will get a lotta grief every single day online and offline, and your life will be miserable. There is no way I’m ever recommending Islam to you.
 
Good luck brosis.

@tehwatever  
Budd-hism!  
Budd-hism!  
Budd-hism!

@Flutter_Lover  
Yea I agree. Buddhism ftw.

Paganism is also an option.
 
 
Do you like trees, sex, and communal sentiment?

Which religion has a major focus on pleasure and lust?

@Zincy  
Is what I said to him. If he interested he’ll prolly hit you up. All y’all religions are the better choices to follow in 2021.
 
@Background Pony #0424  
Hit Zincy up, if you looking for some action.

I can’t do Paganism, I love video games and cartoons too much to enjoy nature.

@Background Pony #0424
 
I’m a transhumanist enthusiast who wants to replace large amounts of his body with machinery, and utilizes every piece of advanced tech I can.
 
Paganism is just about respecting nature, your ancestors, and the fundamental forces of the universe. Not every branch is hippy’ish.

@Zincy  
I don’t care about my ancestors.

@Background Pony #0424  
They’d either be disappointed to hear you say that,or proud you’re not dwelling on the past.

@tehwatever  
Love the Muslim going “DON’T EVEN LOOK AT ISLAM”. If irl people heard me say that, they’d probably try to kill me in various indirect ways.

@Scrabbleman  
I had said that irl, actually.
 
I generally tell ppl curious about islam that living the religion while fully buying into the modern idea is dumb as fuuuck.  
Ofc academically or even as a hobby you can study it, appreciate it, appropriate it, compare it etc. Whatever.
 
But, converting into the religion means eventually going up against pretty much everybody online and offline including fellow muslims.
 
Unless you either very stupid, very determined, already tough-as-nails or just plain mad then I dont see why you would willingly choose to live like that.
 
Being a muslim in 2021 and beyond is suffering. I do it because I’m stubborn degenerate and I have a sub 100 IQ.

Aw, forget it. I’ll just follow my own path.

@Background Pony #0424
 
Lots of people do. Something like 20% of the world identify as “non-religious”.

My afterlife will require a harem.

…  
…  
Do I tell him?…Nah.

@tehwatever  
How about “no” on what you’re about to say? Nothing that I’m looking for matches with any of the existing religions, so I’m following my own. And nothing you can say can talk me out of it.
 
Besides, my friends and family agree with me. As long as I’m happy, that’s all that matters to them. (And in the case of my mom, as long as I believe in something then I won’t be going to Hell) Good day to you.

@Background Pony #0424  
Alright.

Everyone’s interpretation of religion is different. Hell in fact, tehwatever and I are both Muslims, but we’re definitely not the same. We follow the same religion by name but when you look at it deeper, our perspectives and interpretations are completely different.
 
That’s the beauty of human experiences.

With all the most respect from the bottom of my heart….
 
Fuck God. And fuck Satan too.

@Flutter_Lover  
God: And I took that personally.  
Satan: I can have him then?
 
I kid, bro. idk what God and Satan be doing. They may not even exist so what do I know.

@Flutter_Lover  
I’m not sure what your relationship with religion is but I feel like there’s a lot of unchecked anger here and you’re just blaming some dudes in the sky for no reason.
