Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...

[BlindBaker]

How can you guys love Runescape so much, it's such a boring ass game.

This is how.

[Skull]

Confession: I can't stand Ray Williams Johnson on YouTube. I liked him a little bit at first, but now watching one of his videos makes me want to gouge my eyes out. The only potentially good thing about his videos are the parts he has nothing to do with, the videos he reviews.

B-b-b-but.. why?! :blink:

 

(Sorry if I sound too obsessive there <_<)

I hate pretty much all the popular Youtube people (except that shaycarl guy), mostly because of the misleading video titles and thumbnails. Like "JUSTIN BIEBER NAKED?!?!?!" and the thumbnail is a picture of Jusin Bieber on a bright green background and the vlogger making a stupid face.

 

And those little annotations that say "thumbs up for _________."

[Skull]

It's horribly repetitive and the jokes are just bad self-deprecating humor. That and he basically gets paid to take other peoples content without permission and make fun of it.

Yeah. I never was a fan of that joke. :|

[Sbrideau]

I know not many people are, but I was just kidding here ;).

[rangeor]

The only popular Youtube people I ever liked were Collegehumor, Picnicface (not sure if they're even that popular), and Secretagentbob. They're actually popular for a good reason :P

[Dax]

College Humour have gotten really bad lately. The only thing that was slightly (I say slightly cause the others were so much better) decent was that POV a month or so back.

Dude. No offence (honestly) but at you're age you shouldn't make such rash decisions that will affect your whole life. At least give it some thought, I know atheism is whats cool these days, but still. When you're around 12-18 you don't know that much. Hell, I'm 19 and I'm still figuring out what I believe in, don't make it so set in stone. And its not wise to be rebellious in your parents house.

 

A decission so unimportant doesn't need maturity to be taken.

 

 

So a decision that affects every major decision you will ever make isn't important? Ok if you say so. i agree.

How does that affect your major decisions? I really don't see the difference in how I would act on a day-to-day basis with either Christianity or Atheism, i'm still the same person with the same morals.

It doesn't affect every major decision. You won't stop going to school because of it, you won't change friends because of it, you won't get a different job because of it (unless you had priest in mind, lol). Religion is just a way of thinking, not of acting. You can still be nice and charitative without believing in god, etc etc etc.

And thats where your wrong.

 

What if you were to go to a Christian school, or an Islamic school if you were converted? And to say that you're religion doesn't affect your friends is ludicrous. Note, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't, thats another debate, but the fact is for the vast majority it does. (Whether it affects you or me is irrelevant.) And while it may not have an impact on your job (unless you go to the extremes like assassin or porn maker) it still has a very big impact on your life, because it is a way of thinking that impacts most of what you do. (Maybe not you yourself, but certainly me, and every single person I know. And I know some very different people.)

Religion is usually what sets your morals. It effects how you view things, it will effect everything. You believing it wont is just proof you shouldn't make that type of decision yet. That, or you will say you're "Atheist" but you won't really mean it.

[Skull]

I'd say you're just as likely to murder someone if you're religious as if you're not. Most members of violent gangs are also extremely religious, so killing people certainly isn't limited to atheists.

 

Not that that was your main point at all. For the sake of the argument though, if you become an atheist, chances are that you weren't super religious to begin with. That means you probably aren't losing friends from church and you probably don't attend a religion specific school. And if your friends stop being friends with you because you're an atheist, then they're d-bags that you're better off not being friends with anyways.

 

Personal experience time: When I decided (realized?) I was an atheist I lost no friends, I gained no friends, and I didn't change my morals. The only difference is that I don't expect sky cake for being a good little boy.

 

I could understand how if you were to become an atheist you would probably change as a person since you seem like you're pretty into the whole religion thing. However, the reason why that doesn't make it true is because you're unlikely to ever stop believing in a God. There's no reason to use people who it will never happen to as an example, because I'm sure the Pope's life would change if he were to convert, but it will never happen.

 

Anyways, I'm sure none of that makes sense, my head feels like someone hit me with a baseball bat 100 times and I can't think clearly at all. Which is probably why I took the time to type this up.

[Romy]

To add to that, I'm an atheist, that only has about 2-3 friend in real life that fit that description aswell. The rest are religous, very religous, or at the very least, believe in God.

Makes perfect sense

Confession: I steal money from my parents regularly, I've stolen maybe $4,000 in my lifetime.

It hurts that you'd say that, I was about to post everything you said, except my head is perfectly fine.

Mostly my judgment on posting is effected. Normally I would think better of posting about religion. Nothing good ever comes of it.

No, your upbringing sets your morals. A kid watching his parents get drunk, high, lazy, and selfish, wouldn't grow up to be the next Mother Teresa. I was never religious, but I have a morals similar to Christians. My parents taught me morals, where they got from their parents (they weren't very religious neither). Our society is based on Christian values, so the "correct" set of morals comes from the Bible. But that doesn't mean you have to be religious to learn it.

 

If religious affects everything you do, then you might be a bigot. Other than in Church, I don't see how believing in Jesus or Mohammad could affect you in any way. As a society we all have similar morals, so religion is useless at that.

 

Just be an atheist, whoever started this whole thing. You can change your mind later...but I doubt it. :wink:

I think thats the only slanderous statement that really bugs me. Christianity/religion doesn't make anyone bigoted, human nature makes us bigoted. Geez this forum needs to get that in their head.

 

Btw, I like that factual statement saying we are taught the moral by our parents? I share only one moral with my parents, I don't approve of abortion. Thats it. And just because you can't see it doesn't mean we should suffer from your myopic outlook.

 

Fun fact: Mother Teresa renounced her religion close to death. (Well... ok technically she didn't fully renounce it, but she confessed to the Vatican she can't believe in a god that allows all of this bad crap to happen)

 

And that's your opinion that changing a religion is easy, most likely I deduce because you don't consider the possible religions out there as have any basis (I guess I might be wrong), I for one, while firmly believe in Christianity (and I am sure I will never change my mind) I still wonder if the other religions have any basis. Now saying this doesn't weaken my faith in Jesus, as it wouldn't weaken your faith in the belief of nothingness, but if you keep your mind open you might grasp the impact of it. I've only heard of people flip flopping religions like in satiric tv comedies.

 

 

Edit: I'm not saying there's anything bad with believing religion has little impact, I'm simply debating differing opinions.

You misunderstood what he said. Learning from your upbringing and learning from your parents are two completely different things. He happened to learn from his parents, it's not everyone's case. Please, don't get angry or say people are near-sighted; for all you know, if ever there was a myopic outlook, it could be yours.

[Napalm]

Saruman, some posts above you admited to having stolen over $4000 from your parents. You also say that you believe in Jesus, and therefore I assume you believe in the 10 commandments, one of which is "thou shalt not steal" (or something among the lines). If being religious -in your case, christian- changed your morals, you wouldn't have done that. You find it morally acceptable to steal, directly contradicting the christian moral.

[Lenticular_J]

I believe in god and fate. Because it's hard to believe in your friends. But one has to believe in their enemies- particularly if they can count divinities among those enemies.
