Author Topic: That Religion Thread: Is it okay to absorb bits of other religions into yours?  (Read 12395 times)

Personally, I think the only way to obliterate a religion is forced re-association. If you convince everyone this religion is full of maniacs or that you have to do some really nasty stuff to get into the good afterlife, no one is going to join that religion. The current believers are going to be shunned. Eventually, it'll die off and just be a footnote in history. This is more-or-less what the islamophobes in the US are trying. It only works if you don't let them raise children and are below a certain threshold.

Again, you can only been the act of murder
There's no way of banning them from holding the belief that they should murder everyone
basically yeah this

New discussion topic set. What afterlife are you aiming to go to?

i want some angel pusillanimous individual

chilling in limbo with my boys

I'm hoping for a reincarnation kind of deal. The whole theistic 'go to heaven' philosophy doesn't really appeal to me.

From how it's described, you basically go up there and worship your deity forever. Which might be cool for a couple decades, but after 5,000 years I could only see myself going insane with the realization that I'm suddenly a timeless, eternal soul living in a place that never changes. Inevitably it would become a sort of purgatory, and I'd spend most of my time watching the stuff happening down on Earth.

At least with reincarnation, you get to experience new things. I've even thought up a couple of ideas for how something like reincarnation might work. Nothing worth mentioning though, since it's all just the pseudoscientific stuff I come up with while showering or waiting for water to boil.

Anything other than Valhalla.


quantum immortality or a spiritualistic kind of setting like reincarnation

I just want it to be like this: https://youtu.be/cQptitiVeq8?t=14s

In essence, a sandbox where you can do whatever you want until the end of time.
