That Religion Thread: Is it okay to absorb bits of other religions into yours?
Rabbot32:
I heard some kids in the library arguing over the role of prayer and the concept of God in modern society, and I got to thinking about how, in this day and age, it's impossible to calmly and rationally discuss what your beliefs. I'd like to prove it isn't totally impossible.
Rabbotical Rules of Religious Review
Be polite. We aren't crusaders or jihadi maniacs, we're rational humans with a decent concept of grammar and civility. People are going to pray different. Get used to it.
Explain your point. See above. You're going to be discussing your ideas with people that disagree. Explain your point thoroughly.
Do not shun. I don't care what you pray to, but there's zero reason to be a cunt over what others believe. See rule one.
Be cautious when handling holy wars. They're a hot button topic, and I don't want a fistfight over the Crusades.
Happy discussion. The topics will be posted below.
Rabbot32:
First item of discussion:
Should we bother? Does praying actually make you more moral?
Second item of discussion:
Should we judge the people of a religion by the atrocities others committed in the name of that religion?
Third item of discussion:
When is it okay to ban specific religions?
Fourth item of discussion:
What afterlife are you aiming for?[/s]
Fifth item of discussion:
Is it alright to update religion?
Sixth item of discussion:
Is it alright to absorb bits of other religions into your own?
PhantOS:
sure why not
Nicepoint:
Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't harm others.
Last time I checked praying on it's own isn't harmful
