Religion

Here's a place to talk about the second most differential topics (after politics, sorry if "differential" isn't the right word).

I'll start out. I'm a Taoist. It's an ancient chinese religion about equality and balance. Our symbol is the Yin Yang. We have hundreds of gods, although I only focus on a few (Lao Tzu, Yu Huang, Li Hong, Chang'e, and Tu Er Shen, with a couple others) and I'm still to this day learning new Gods (I converted a little over two years ago). Taoism is a very peaceful, accepting religion, and is commonly referred to as a philosophy. Feel free to ask me any more questions, otherwise knock yourselves out, indulge in this thread on all things religion.

So are you an actual Taoist or a trendy white liberal?

We already have threads for different religions.

I'm an Evangelical Catholic, and I don't see this thread lasting long.

I think it's a thread to discuss religion in general.

I'll guess he's an anglo from the West Coast in his teens or twenties.

We had that like a week ago and it didn't work out very well to be honest.

I'm a well cultured Roman Catholic.

Godless heathen with a simultaneous softness and hatred for select religions (And just disdain for the rest)

This will end well.

What's weird is that you usually see West Coast whites converting to Buddhist, not Taoism.

Also, I'm Roman Catholic.

Probably the only irreligious Republican in America.

After too many kids do it, it stops being trendy.

Catholic, although I am hardly that religious. I'm thinking of switching over to deism, since most of the traditions in Catholicism don't resonate with me.

You might like Jean-Luc Marion, a postmodern Catholic theologian.

I like some of his work. His metaphysics are...postmodern.

Switch over to deism. Roman Catholicism is the least Christian version of Christianity, barring Joel Osteen's stuff.

I was under the impression "lutheran", "evangelical" and "catholic" were all mutually exclusive.

Well I'm a postmodern artist, so I shall.
