This is a forum of free flowing conversation that might contain adult conversations and subject matter. Be advised that some conversations may make some uncomfortable, but that intolerance and excessive vulgarity is not welcome, although opinions are.

Oh please, nobody is making personal attacks against you.

There's a lot of religious folk on the boards.

I will also add that you can be a religious/spiritual person and still poke fun at religion, religious people, spirituality, spiritual people, atheism, and atheists.

Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus, and Vishnu walk into a bar. The bartender says: Sorry, no sandals allowed.

Also, having others poke fun at your religion should either strengthen your resolve and faith in that religion, or make you question it. Even though I'm an athiest, I think both are desirable outcomes. Simply plugging your ears with your fingers and going "LALALALALALA" is not.

Blind faith is no faith at all.

AcidTech is sooo much better on the eyes.

I wish it was a bit wider though. It doesn't take up as much room as the glossyblue board theme.

Anti making fun of religion you say.

As Marilyn Manson would say:

Anti-people, now you've gone too far
Here's your Antichrist Superstar

Sorry if I offended you but I could not resist this. The whole song is a great poem about people taking the Anti side of things way to seriously but all people ever heard was Antichrist, he does state Anti-Satan too among almost everything else.

Really people are to Anti.

Just to let you know dude, in reference to my post, I'm highly religious. But you need to be able to take a joke at it. Understanding other religions or those who don't practice a religion only strengthens yours.

The best way to think of it is to look at the world Conan does. He doesn't deny the existence of other gods, nor does he particularly care for other gods. He prays to Crom and sticks to the morals he was taught, despite being around all these other groups and religions. He does pick up things from other cultures, but he does nothing to hurt his own faith.

TL;DR- Calm down. Nobody is doing anything wrong.
