Are you actually fucking serious?

Well... if the OP isn't, I am.

I don't even understand how someone can take their religion "too seriously". Implying that is even possible just comes off as ignorant and stupid to me.

Have you ever seen the Da Vinci code? The guy whips his back and sticks spikes in his legs because he feel he has to punish himself for the lord or something like that

So? That's what he believes. I'd do whatever my respective beliefs require me to. Religion reflects ideals that will supposedly last throughout eternity. It's only odd compared to conventional social norms; norms that are even more frivolous and ridiculous. These social standards only matter for 120 years, maximum. Religious rituals are preparation for eternity. The human mind can't even comprehend how long that is, it's impossible. The importance of this relatively fleeting life is literally nothing in comparison to whatever afterlife religious people believe in.

And that's what you believe. Obivously the OP doesn't believe that that's the case and therefore has a different opinion.

That's not what I believe, that's just fact. That's the whole point of religion. I don't want to come off as religious, because I'm not. In fact, I hate religion. That doesn't mean I'm going to be ignorant about it. That's what the OP's opinion is, ignorant. Ignorant and close-minded. The post can be literally translated to: "People who take the most important thing in existence too seriously weird you out." Obviously you can't understand how religious people feel because you don't have that kind of devotion to anything, fine. Let me put it another way. . . Actually, I can't put it another way. There's nothing more important to anyone than religion to a religious person.

Maybe that's what the OP found weird. That nothing else in life was more important than religion to that person. Of course from the religious person's point of view they will seem logical since they believe in the afterlife and everything, but since OP may not necessarily believe in that they are weirded out by the utter devotion of others towards it.

And OP has every right to think that, but it really doesn't make it any less close-minded.

Fair enough, a gentlemen's agreement then

If I believed in God, I'd devote myself to one. I mean, God created you and is your purpose, I don't see how your religious beliefs wouldn't be the most important thing to someone.

Sure and other people might find that weird. There are plenty of religious people who don't take religion as seriously as others.

By too seriously do you mean they're pushy about their beliefs? Or..?

You worded this kind of strangely, but I get what you're trying to say. There's a girl in my grade who walked out of biology a couple years ago when we started learning about evolution. She was seriously pissed off about the fact that it was even taught in schools and yelled at the teacher for trying to make us understand it. She's still at my school but she takes chemistry now, because, and I quote, "There's no fucking way we all came from monkeys. No way."

Huh, that same thing happened when I was in highschool...but that was a few years ago.

Swearing never necessary and completely destroys all credibility. Anyone who uses that word has no brains so simply disregard them entirely.

Well someone's religion is supposed to be their entire interpretation of life and its purpose...I don't know how you take that "too seriously" Maybe too preachy but unless this is a misstatement it really is ignorant

by Anonymous 11 years ago

all religion freaks me the fuck out like do you actually believe that shit? who is that fucking dumb? In this day and age if you still believe in magical sky beings who tell you to hate other people then you have some serious issues...grow a pair and stop using religion as a crutch to give you meaning to your life or help you through tough times. Not everything happens for a reason, some things are just shit.

Personally, I don't think you understand all the variations of religious belief.

Sometimes, when all hope is lost all you have left is YOUR RELIGION. Don't be bashing people just because they believe in something you don't. They're not hurting ANYONE, so why does it matter to you?

Winnie-- your words have no credibility. You show your ignorance by swearing. Brainless twit. backoff

Yes it gets to the point I won't talk to them at all. I know there are many churches in my town I can find them myself without overzealous nuts
