Why don’t we shop around more for religions?

[OddBeMe]

It’s always just pushed on us by family. Thats not how it should work.

Back when America was great.

[Stoner710]

You can shop around for religious beliefs.

The thing about you saying our parents shouldn’t push religious beliefs on their children is impossible unless you leave them in the woods to fend for themselves. You’re always going to be teaching your children your values no matter what. Values come from religious practices be it Shinto Christianity Hindu Muslims atheist gnostic dualism (aka transgender) ever parent teaches there children your not gonna get any from that. Even if you put them in a foster home the foster parents are going to teach them values even the state would teach their values on children. There no way of getting away from that

It's not a business, dumbass.

You can't "shop around," any more than you can "shop around" for your career path.

You don't choose your beliefs, only the crowd you want to experience those beliefs with.

It's why you can go to a top school, but end up with nothing. All because you hung around with the crack heads.

[OddBeMe]

You’re 100% wrong but I appreciate the passion

[strateguy632]

in family , parents teach the faith , they think is true so they think they are giving good. for all of the conflicted faiths.

then the kid can ask why you dont believe the other? and see how ignorant his parents are. but if believe something, then would not search for anything different.

still in school kids see various options so they are aware of the "menu"

[OddBeMe]

Unfort most don’t ask why…. tho it’s growing as more kids get online.

Even the Amish google

[msc545]

Wwe have too much of this as it is now. Nobody really needs more, but if you do, just make one up!

[OddBeMe]

I am planning a cult. Obvi for the money and poontang.

[msc545]

Cults are very profitable - can I invest in yours?

[OddBeMe]

Yes. But I must sleep with all the wives.

[msc545]

sure no worries!

[OddBeMe]

(Fist pump)
Score.

God will welcome you into his kingdom.

[Anonymous]

No one EVER stopped you. Your weird personal grudge against religion is f-ing bizarre man. Move on. Grow up. You live in a country that allows religious pluralism. Unfortunately they also hate you for your faith.

Like you and the way you hate Christians.

[DryGermanGuy]

It never was in my family. And generally speaking, most parts of Central and Northern Europe could be considered „post-religious“, anyway.

[OddBeMe]

Yes that’s ironic. As most European countries have a “national religion” and yet are more secular. The US has a freedom of religion and are batshit crazy religious.

[Drewtate]

If you believe why would you?

[OddBeMe]

Shouldn’t you see what other religions are before making a decision? It’s like buying the first house or car you see.

[Drewtate]

If you treat religion like buying a car maybe you'd be be better off with no religion rather than pretending

[Agape93]

Social pressure.

[OddBeMe]

I pressure you to be my Concubine in my cult…(waves hands magically)

[Agape93]

Lol you can't handle a scarlet woman

[OddBeMe]

Shit. You bitches are too much. I’m Irish and still can’t handle you.

[Agape93]

Lol.

[OddBeMe]

If i wasn’t banished the past week you’d have the mho

[Sevenpointfive]

they all charge money. why buy a religion?

[strateguy632]

except the one about grace...

[OddBeMe]

@strateguy632 which is that?
