8D Well, as we all know, there are some thing you can't say without being flamed like a million times for because of the cult-like worshippers of these things. >.> ...Which is sometimes really creepy to see. o-o
XD For instance, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. *SHOT*
So, woohoo. This is just a thread to put your basic issues with the world we live in. Don't go into detail, please. We'll have enough threads for those. xD
Like, I myself have no problem with religion. IN MODERATION. But I hate (LOATHE) it when people try to push their beliefs on me. They should just be all right with the fact that I don't believe in the same things they do. Seriously. It's not like one person is that important to convert. It's not like I'm a heathen because I'm not religous, people! gonk
...I'm done now. XD

I never saw RHPS. 8D;
But, yes. I'm religious... and I don't have a problem with people in other religions either. I'm very 'tolerant' (I don't like that word though), because I can see it from a variety of different views.
So when I see people badgering others for their views, it really bothers me. There's no need for it. What you believe in shouldn't really have any influence on how you treat the person (I mean, unless they're out there hurting people based on their beliefs, but that's a whole other kettle of fish).
Agent, you're totally a heathen... but not because you're not religious 8D

Religion's fine in moderation. Just don't bother me with it. I'm a firm believer in that God loves you whether or not you believe in him, and that so long as you try to be a good person that's all that really matters in the end. All religions basically teach the same thing: do good. They say it in different ways but it's all the same message.
I can actually provide more thought provoking arguments. I just have to wait for you guys to post more stuff.

Hmm, yah. I kinda go for the '1,000 faces of God' thing. I like to think there's more to life than just this, at the same time I can't see any 'loving' god condeming good people just because they're not following such and such a religion.
Nor do I see bad people getting in even though they go to church every sunday or do whatever to atone. >_>

Yeah, like I said, I think it's all about good intentions.
I'm a firm believer in reincarnation which most people don't agree with.

I dunno how I feel on the reincarnation bit, although I can't deny being intrigued by the idea. >.>
Part of me wants to think that maybe reincarnation happens for those people who did do bad things in their first attempt... but honestly did want to atone for it and worked to make it better.
I can see it being done as a second chance sort of idea >.>

I just don't like nor can I fathom the idea that you exist only once and that's it. Plus there are things about yourself that you can't always explain. Like.. irrational fears for instance, deja vu, and dreams of things that happened long ago.

The name's Axel.Sel went and hurt my feelings. emo
XD <3
I can't say that I do or don't believe in reincarnation. Because I can't say that I don't want to believe in it. There is no way of really telling if it is or isn't true, though. I mean, you'd have to die. o-o; But, even if people know or believe they were reincarnated, it's very hard to get proof of it. Because deja vu and dreams can only take you so far. xO; 
Got it memorized?~

I had a really vivid dream once... it was during the holocaust. It was scary, and I had no idea how to handle it. I woke up shaking and shivering in fear. It took me a little while to realize it was just a dream.
But because of that I can take a look at the idea of dreams indicating possible past lives. It's just too hard to come up with some details like that on your own ^^;
-Agent : That's true. Although I like to think there's a lot in both of those.. moreso dreams than Deja vu though.

My dad has had a few dreams like that, one about the Holocaust when we were in France one time when I was little, and one about Roman armies. They were reality to him during when he had those dreams, or so he tells me.
I always though of Deja vu to be a somewhat psychic EDIT:*Ability (well, seeing into the future just a little bit)

I dunno about Deja Vu being the ability to look into the future, but rather maybe looking into the past xd It's a touch and go thing with that though. Hard to say.
Mostly I think you get deja vu when something familar happens.

Yar it is hard to say, just with the future thing, I just think people see it like a moment or so before without realising it =o
Thinking you did it in the past can be creepy o.o
Could also be you do the same routine over again and you just realise it xd *SHOT*

LOL.
When I was like.. five or so. I used to think that life was just one big dream. And that whenever we woke up, that's when we would 'die'. 8D;;

oO That makes you think about the Afterlife.. o-o Would you think it's a dream then? What would you wake up to then? Being in this world? Or a second afterlife?! @.@
I never thought like that, I just had moments of spacing out and realising that I existed and thought about it long and hard. I still have those sometimes. xd

Yah. lol. My parents thought I was weird for thinking stuff like that.
Course.
They used to tell me I was going to go to hell for not doing the dishes xd
Hmm... Well, the sad thing is, no one will know for certain until they *do* pass on. Unfortunately they can't tell anyone then.
Less of course you believe in spirits/ghosts.
...
That's a thread in and of itself I think though lol.
