Jordan is on to something with his descriptions i think @Fitzydog
i think the closest you can get to explaining religious ideas without religious language, is to get into psychological ideas

Yes, my point exactly. They're practically saying the same things, yet they're speaking different languages, neither of which wants to use the others knowledge base or terminology

i agree

I try to understand it myself, but it's *very* abstract, to the point that I understand quantum mechanics better than this lmao

kinda hard to understand religion if you dont believe tbh.

i've been thinking about that a lot lately, ways to consolidate religious ideas with modern conceptions

@MountainMan That depends on what you mean by 'believe' as well lol

true

I *believe* that there's a correct interpretation of religion that is out of grasp of most people, but instead of trying to understand they just co-opt the preexisting language as an easy answer to lifes problems

i think the biggest problem is that religion has A LOT of baggage now a days, that if you aren't interested in it, it's really easy to dismiss it with "big man in the sky hur dur" or "i had a bad experiences growing up with shity religious people" etc.

I believe there's a god. A being which we can't comprehend. And that our life choices have consequenses. What these consequenses, or how it's all accounted I do not know. Only God could be able.

True, I'm still astonished by the fact I went my entire childhood not knowing that young earth creationism is *not* the majority opinion in religion.

it's the easiest thing to attack

also that crazy church

Young earth creationism?

Is that the belief that the earth is like 6000 years old?

Yes

Coming from a guy that added up all the bible figures’ ages

I never knew people believed in that until I became like 12.

the westboro baptist church somehow became the face of Christianity in the media, even though they had like 30 members

it was mostly a political thing

As a druid i believe all gods exist simultaniously. And at the same time with different strength on the world.

But yea most who dismiss religion as a whole tend to be due to experience with people. Similar to how i have seen many lesbians are lesbian due to abusive relationships.

*Do* you believe that though, or is that just what druids are supposed to believe?

I’m a paladin

I'm a wizard

Its what i believe. As i can feel the different enegy of say a christian church and a norse circle.

No no no you need to pick a spec

Hur hur guys

Fire, frost or arcane @MountainMan
