[Cyrisnia]

No fighting, children.

What's the point of a thread about religion with no fighting?

I've been slowly, very slowly, incorporating Hinduism into my life. I was born in the West, to a Christian family (very lax Catholic family). When I was a child, Catholicism sufficed. As I grew up, however, I began to question many things regarding the religion I was born into, not to mention the loss of any comfort I may have felt being Catholic.

I reached a turning point when I became a university student. Became very agnostic, but open to the concept of divinity. I just wasn't sure about Christianity anymore. Then, a year ago, I started reading about Hinduism and something stroke a chord in me. I'm particularly very taken with Ganesha Ganpati. Something about the elephant headed god and what he represents began to comfort me deeply. Especially whenever I stare into the eyes of his effigies. I don't know what it is. I just feel a sense of well-being from Hinduism.

Religious fan fictions are my favorite besides my OTP Erza and Jellal.

In my six years in a Christian boarding school, I came to the conclusion that whatever I did would get me burning in hell for eternity.

Especially things that would make you think, or that priests and/or nuns just found annoying.

Because Hellenic mythology has any place at a boarding school?
Other than the mythology class of-course.

As soon as they saw my sick Flock of Seagulls hairdo, they just ran out of the monastery screaming, flinging holy water at me.

Nothing like a good Crusade to get the week started...

Atheistic crusades are nowhere near impressive as you may think.

All we do is get drunk and have sex with prostitutes until we all wake up outside of a church covered in barf and piss and with 1 out of every 50 people suffering from some kind of disease.

Only 1 in 50? What crusades do you go to? My last one was 1 in 5..

Hey, just because we're a bunch of ransacking barbarians doesn't mean we don't make sure we get our shots.

Hardly considering the last atheist crusade resulted in the remaining 4/5ths to be diagnosed with severe sexually transmitted diseases. Not to mention they lost.

He is no Pope Christopher Hitchens.

I guess the best way to discribe my views on religion is that I'm a atheistic cultural Christian. While I do not believe in god or a religion for that matter I still do typical Christian things especially when it comes to holidays. I was raised eppenicostal so church on Easter and Christmas are a big deal with my family and I do go with them and while I don't believe I still bow my head in respect for those how are praying and who do believe. Aside from a lot of that I'm a typical atheist.
