It is a bit rage inducing, it's hard enough to find someone worth holding onto anyway, must less when you have people you care about worrying about irrelevant issues such as race,gender, religion, etc.

Are you implying Priest Tier 13 isn't awesome?

Respect-o-meter goes down a notch...

I think that puts us at... -572.

I'm such a punk, I still don't know how to approach asking this lad out, I hate it. Thankfully I at least know his family member, when we go out Friday, we're going to have a lengthy strategic game plan

Is it bad to say that I find religion to be more irritating to deal with than racism?

For example: My bf's mother is an Evangelist. To make a long story short, he describes her being a step under Westboro Church's views. They're the ones who protests at soldiers' funerals and wants us to thank God for 9/11... and strongly despises homosexuals.

She's also the reason why I cannot take my boyfriend with me to Disney World. Even though we had a good shot in going together, she will stop paying for his tuition if he goes with us because she feels that he'll be worshiping the devil because we sleep together despite that we're not married.

Religion makes me pissed off at times. I'm not an Atheist. I am a Catholic, I believe in God, and I pray at times when needed. I respect people's views on religion but a lot of people that I talk to have so many different religious views that irritated me. Some of my friends who I no longer associate myself with became Atheists for all of the wrong reasons... Someone even told me they just did it so they can stop believing in God. That's really a reason? Sure, okay whatever. They don't even know what being an Atheist is all about, it's just so they can stop believing in God.

That's not a reason, that's just trying to show off to your fat-ass of a Gothic friend who is one and impress many others to follow you for all the wrong reasons. She tried converting me to one becuase she knows that I hated going to CCD and church. I told her that I had my Confirmation back in the eighth grade and that I only go to church when I go to weddings or funerals.

Religion... It's just confusing and I don't want people to prohibit me in doing things because its against their views. My boyfriend and I love sleeping next to each other, we don't want that to stop all because one person believes we're praising ole' mighty Satan himself because there's no goddamn ring on my mother fucking finger.

Fuck buckets!



Actually, their Tier 13 set is by far one of the better looking tiers since tier 5.

I liked 8, 9 and 10, but not as much as what they did for 5. It's funny how the Warlock's Tier 6 managed to have bat wings for their costumes, yet they didn't try doing something like angel wings for the Priest in the same manner.

Instead, they're just tiny golden ones on the 5.

Tier 13 is cool, I really dig the mask and the color , but Tier 5, for me, just seems to be the best they've done.

The problem vis a vis religion or a lack of religion is people assuming that their values apply to everyone or should.

I've met plenty of tolerant and open minded Christians, Jews, Muslims,Hindus Atheists and Agnostics, but I've met my share of judgmental idiots

I'm the Switerland on the religious debate (Agnostic) and religious beliefs like most things is what people make them, they can be a great tool to help or a linear and negative way of apporaching things.


I can say I respect most opinions on religion, but I agree with you on people trying to tell others how to live and that they're evil for not living in their linear bubble of how people are supposed to act.

The funny thing though is that people, if according to being an Evangelist, they're not supposed to force their religion in my face and demand me to follow their ways in life. THAT'S a sin, and she's all about sin. God just asked to preach the word not force the word into the faces of those that don't worship in the way that they do.

She's got a set of rules that both me and my boyfriend has to follow. I'll follow those rules when I am at her house because that's her house and I'm no rude guest. But outside her house, she shouldn't really have it where it's either her word, or we're sinners.

The fact that she's calling me a sinner just makes me disapprove of her even more. I try my very best to earn this woman's respect, but because religion is more important than her son's happiness just seems to be... sadly irritating to hear. He tells her that I'm the one he loves so much, he only wants to be with me... Yet because as stated, "there's no goddamn ring on my mother fucking finger," we're sinning, she knows it, she hates it, she talks about me behind my back.

I can respect religious views up to a point. Where if I'm being forced to respect it, no way. I respect what I will respect and that shouldn't be a problem. If someone is telling me that my life is going in a wrong direction because I am not viewing things in a certain manner because I'm not this kind of a religious figure or whatever, then I'll just tell them "let me live my life the way I want it and leave me alone, please." That's all I can basically do. I'm no expert on religion, never have been, never will be. But I certainly will not tolerate being forced to respect something if I don't have to.

We're both aggravated that his mother chose to do this, but she's going to Israel this summer... So at least I won't have to deal with her that much next year. I'm a nice person, I always will do what I can to please people, even if they don't like me. But if I'm being called a sinner because I'm doing something with my boyfriend that someone disapproves, well, sorry but I love my boyfriend more than anything in this world right now, and nothing is really going to stop that, not even religion.


That's why it bothers me. It bothered me before I met him, but it got worse as time progressed in this relationship. There's nothing going on where she might ruin what we got going on, but let's just say, if this constantly continues in the future, I'll be that person where the husband can go see his mother while I'll stay at home and do some cleaning around the house, kind of thing. She's really becoming something like that. And that would be the whole religion thing. Why religion seems more of an issue with me than racism. And I just threw in the whole me and my boyfriend situation as a perfect example as why it is.

Damn, well like I said, the harder they believe, the harder it is to convince them otherwise, even if they are being hypocritical of they're own belief system. Sorry it didn't work out.

As for Atheism, well that IS all they are required to do, it is after all simply a lack of belief in god. However I do indeed get your point. I stopped going to church because I hated fucking church. I stopped believing in God because over time I thought about God and came to the realization that it probably does not exist. If it does in fact exist, it hasn't made much of a point to pop out and say hey everyone! here I am! If you were God, would you bother to do that? nope, I for one would have better things to do.

If you dont want to believe in God because you hate church, you're not really thinking about it in the terms that you need to to understand atheism. Technically speaking though, they still are though, even if they dont know what it means.

I've said that, and worse about them. Even they acknowledge that it's an old mentality that probably makes me better than them in that regard, but they aren't going to change about it, and neither will I.

I was that bloke, and I'm not stalking you; where would I find to do that while I'm putting so much energy in becoming Scarlet Johanssan's new beau?

"...Oh crap!" BBQ.

Lol. I just baaarely moved out of the way of the grenade he threw, while BBQing the mother.

Nyeahaha.

Bullshit. I just downloaded it earlier.

@ icebaby

This is more just a thought that you sparked as opposed to a direct response.

I don't really know what I am. I don't want to be anything. It's like asking a guy who doesn't play videogames if he prefers Fighter, FPS, RPG... Ya know? I don't really think about it.

What bugs me is that I hold very high respect for other peoples religons, only to have some of them turn around and spit it in my face. I am not a Catholic, and I dissagree with some of their views, but I still respect them because that's their thing, and they take it seriously. But then some of them turn around and insult me for not "Accepting God" which, by the way, I'm not doing. At all. I am not "not accepting God" nor am I accepting him. I am doing neither.

On top of that, it's hard to take things like religon and spiritual beliefs seriously (to myself, not towards others, again, I respect religon) when everyone around me acts like a child when it comes to their beliefs.

My mom's boyfriend is an Atheist. He is also a childish human being, and when you combine the 2, it isn't pretty.

My mom is a "Witch"... What kind, you ask? SHE DOESN'T FUCKING KNOW. There are many different catagories that come to mind when I think of "Witch", but since she doesn't actually take it seriously anyway, or at least she only pretends she does, she doesn't really know what she is, only what she isn't.

My brother now believes in God, and has only managed to spend Half his life preaching about how Atheism is awesome. ONLY HALF. That's not that bad, right? Has he found God? Well, seeing as how he still breaks every rule in the book and is a hug drug addict, I'm going to brush this off as yet another ploy to get girls.

The only thing that has ever bugged me to the point of completely trashing someones religon is the fact that we all have to "accept God" no matter what, seeing as how he is stamped over everything involving the government. Granted, it would be wrong of me to do that, because I can't blame every Christian for that, only the incredibly wealthy dumb ones.

Sorry for the double post, problems with editing.

Anyway, just wanted to qoute this


FlamingTP:As for Atheism, well that IS all they are required to do, it is after all simply a lack of belief in god

I believe Atheism is being actively AGAINST God. There is another term for just not believing in him. I think.

@Icebaby Religion. All they want is POWER. Ughh(not at you).
I believe in God, yes, but I just don't give a shit about Religion or any of that BS

Don't rub it in...Wait, what?

She's a prick. His parents are pricks. His Brother's a prick. Hey they're all pricks. (please refer to Good Burger for insight)

Religion (organized anyway) is just not right to me. What's keeping these churches and such from being classified as cults? They may not have cyanide punch bowls or mass suicides (as far as the public knows), but seriously, giant sects of people (blindly) worshipping things creeps me out.

It pisses me off even more when I hear about the massive scandals that go on in churches. The other end of the spectrum is just as bad because rather than leave you be with your beliefs, they'd rather shun you or constantly try and shove their religion upon you, which in itself is bad. At it's worst religion makes people commit the very things that go against their religion's word such as judgement of others and manslaughter (crusades).

I say I believe in God, but that's as far as it goes. Karma as well. Religion for me is non-existent and I still have morals and a willingness to help my fellow man. Not because some invisible guy with a rockin' beard is telling me to, but because I am...human.

Wait, it might be a PS3 thing. My bad.

get ye flask

The negative remarks against Atheisim is a bit absurd, I don't follow that opinion; however, I am fully aware that all it means is a lack of belief in God and this dramatization about people not believing in God being in some adversarial battle against God is a gross exageration at best.

I certainly don't follow any religion, but I am not against their God or Gods/Goddesses. Not believing in something =/= wanting a conflicting relationship with it.

The new South Park was legendary. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time

It's much easier to tell other people how to live their lives, than it is to practice what people preach for most, unfortunately. There's a need to be "right" in the eyes of many people, to the point they alienate the very peopel they're trying to capture with their message.

I'm glad you stay true to your feelings and thoughts, sometimes it's hard to do that under pressure. I remember getting flack from one of my siblings religious friends, telling me I need church to cure me of my sickness (liking men), I always find it laughable that people are so consumed by their thoughts and feelings that they disregard everyone else's.

You just gotta live your life, no matter who you are, what you worship or don't worship, who you love or don't love, people will judge you in some fashion, it seems you've resigned yourself to that unfortunate reality, I did too it makes it infinitely easier to deal with some people in this world.

Sorry to hear about your situation, maybe she'll soften with time, though sometimes older people can be stuck in their ways, it's still a possibilty.
