Religion?

[Hershey]

but my friends at school get "offended" so i say im catholic since thats what the rest of my family is.

What?!!!!!!!!! That's like saying people get offended when you say you are a boy, its just who you are. You can't keep lying to yourself.

(Reminds me of X-Men and gay rights and all those things.)

If that offends them, they don't deserve to be your friends.

Or racism.

I feel that we should find another topic to talk about. Ideas?

So. What's your favorite kind of cheese.

So. What's your favorite kind of cheese.

I'd have to say mozzarella or provolone, maybe pepper jack.

Just a quick question for the atheists here:

Do you say "Bless You" when someone sneezes, or do people say it to you ever?

 

[ZamHalen]

^I always wondered about stuff like that. Basically stuff we normally don't think about.

Sorry for double posting but since we're on this sort of subject I may as well ask.

This is a question for atheists.If there is a traditional prayer as being part of a non-religious group would you participate for the sake of tradition or would you find it offensive?

This happened last year and the person kind of made a scene out of it.

traditional prayer

Like what?

 

[ZamHalen]

Like what?

Just a prayer for safety and for the usual help us do our best.
There are many people who don't follow a religion that participate who but the one person made me wonder about other opinions.

I seriously hate cheese...

I try to avoid it, but I dont find it much of a religous thing any more. So usually not.

I hate being in these situations. It pretty much happens every Thanksgiving... So two days. Since my grandparents and cousins there are Catholic, they say a prayer. I try to respect them and do what they do physically (hold hands while my grandpa says everything, usually).

So you kind of "participate" as more of a traditional thing?Because that's what I've wondered.

 

[collinbxyz]

Pretty much.

It's the South, it's like that everywhere.

Any other opinions on this I'd like to see a couple of perspectives.

 

[Hershey]

My parents are Hindu, but for some reason they do the prayer thing for Thanksgiving. However, this year I am probably going to (politely) interrupt and thank farmers for the food we eat, scientists for pushing the human race forward, and soldiers who protect our country...

I participate in religious ceremonies in order to be culturally fit. I don't hide my atheism and I simply bow my head and keep quiet while everyone prays. I respect other people's traditions and faith (I still think they are bs for the most part, but I would never deny their right to be stupidly mistaken).

I don't say it. If anything I say excuse you then people look at me funny and I tell them to suck my ****.

I don't mind if people say bless you, but when they say it more then once that pisses the **** out of me. If someone is having an episode than I doubt they want to here "bless you" 20 freaking times.

I also hate how people say it just to talk(especially during tests). No offense but I hate the way girls and nice guys say it. The way they say it makes me so made because they say it like there a ****ing saint. I just want to yell, " Stop getting it off from saying 'bless you'!!!". It pisses me off.

I am a Christian though, and although you can try and deny that God doesn't exist, you cannot deny the things he has done in me. BTW I find the picture hilarious.

To give god credit is to take away credit from someone else that deserves it. My parents like to do this to me. They like to attribute my personal accomplishments to their prayer.
