[glow=green,2,300]This forum was founded in the hopes of exploring the various religions and beliefs in this world. [/glow]
A:
I. If you came here to share your opinions, vent, explore, discuss or debate,
Falte!
Welcome!
;D
II. If you are of a little known religion, welcome!
III. If you are of a well known religion, welcome!
IV. If you have personal beliefs, and are seeking out others of similar beliefs, welcome!
V. If you wish to talk to others of dissimilar beliefs, welcome!
VI. To everyone who comes with fair-minded intentions that I have left off this list, you have my apologies. Welcome!
B:
I. If you came here with the belief that your vastly superior intellect and/or spiritual self gives you the right to pass judgment
reality check!
nobody with any measure of intellectual fortitude experiences a sense of awe for your ability so perfectly describe how you believe that another person's beliefs do not perfectly align with your own personal belief system.
II. If you came here with a sense of loathing at a particular (beliefs system/way of life/race/any other 'group'), and hope to spread hateful bias,
go back to the bubble you live in
unfortunately, the very nature of this forum will reveal that (wonder of wonders) there is a great measure of diversity among even the most 'similar' of groups.
III. If you claim a particular belief system/religion (possibly for the sole purpose of rebelling against the ' society of oppression into which you were born, but over whom you have quite recently gained a superior intellectual/spiritual understanding') and yet instead of spending your time exploring your own beliefs, you complain and nag about the faults and incongruities of the system from which you have rebelled,
Go have fun and throw your temper-tantrums in one of the many prepubescent minded web-groups which are so readily available.
And no, I'm not picking on you. You might be surprised to learn that I am not of any mainstream belief system.
To anyone who belongs to any of those categories listed in the 'b' group above, you are welcome back as soon as your head is firmly and permanently removed from your arse.
