Religion and Religious Type Concepts Thread

[SargeMaximus]

I moved to the west part of the island after graduating from high school, 600 km away from home.
Three and a half years and 6000 miles later, I reside in a highly diversified environment.
It's rather cool how much change a decision could bring.
With that, of course I met a fine lot of people with different backgrounds.
And guess what? Religion never comes as an edge in socializing.
While of course at times like holidays or in a rather sensitive conversation, religion could be a factor.
But personally, it's only on the surface and rather shallow exchanges of words which sparked by a similar factor like religion.

Hmm. I'm not sure man. I mean, how much do family christmas dinners matter to people? Or ramadhan or whatnot? It's like a glue. One more thing you have in common with people.

What I want to say is, you've been through a lot, Sarge, you know it better.
And I believe you don't want to sell yourself short by considering to have a religion for the sake of socializing, it's not worth the journey.

Of course but it's the same as taking up a sport or hobby for socializing.

Anyway it could diminish the effort of using the subs for self-acceptance and self-validation programs in it.

Except maybe that hot chick you met in the corner, turned to the church so that you might want to go there as well, lol.

Lol, or maybe I could be her spiritual guide. :angel:

Thanks for sharing.
