Did you ever believe in God @The Enlightened Shepherd

How common is godlessness among your peers anecdotally, i.e no stats

define my peers

your friends, people your generation/near your age you work/study with

@fallot WE HAVE NUCLEAR WARHEADS FOR TORPEDOES, CRUISE MISSILES AND ANTI-SHIP (WAVE-SKIMMING) MISSILES

CRUISE MISSILES HAVE WINGS

ANTI-SHIP MISSILES LOOK LIKE REGULAR ROCKETS

TORPEDOES ARE YOUR BEST BET BECAUSE THEY CAN TRAVEL SEVERAL MILES

SO A SUB COULD HANG OUT OUTSIDE THE BUOY LINE AND FIRE ONE INTO THE CENTER OF A GROUP

@fallot i was born at the time when, after collapse of socialism

the counrty was getting increasingly spiritual

and was baptized at the age of 4 i believe, in Serbian Orthodox Church

My most immediate friends aren't religious, but society in general is latently religious, and massively declares as such, over 98% of people declaring as religious

but it's only declaration

herds understanding of religion, always includes murder, group sex, drugs, foul language etc

ONE CAN FEEL RELIGIOUS

WITHOUT WANTING TO GO TO CHURCH

@diversity_is_racism , north korea doesn't though

are you immediate friends exceptional

@The Enlightened Shepherd

i subscribed to orthodox theology, monarchism and worldview at one point in the past, briefly

a lot of gay mystical nazis approach religion from a sensual or pragmatic perspective

but at that time i was leaning more towards greek understanding of orthodoxy, and evne russian to an extent, than to Serbian

Serbian orthodox Christians are mostly fervently anti-Catholic, while I was not as much

Catholicism is to an extent, considered a mortal enemy of Serbs, and Vatican is seen as a main culprit of crimes against Serbs done by Catholics, even more than the people themselves

what's the most major religious festival

Christmass and Easter among Christians

how are both celebrated, briefly

is there any contrast to western europe/america

Christmass by fasting and burning of those great bonfires on the christmass eve

how many people would fast

and by traditional lunches and religious services on christmass day itself

depends

full fasting would often be performed by not especially pious people due to health benefits

if you had to just throw a %age out

On Easter, dying eggs, fasting and "breaking" of eggs is performed

and abstinence from all work on Good Friday
