@chriscalderon1337 In reality very few people outside of Abrahamic religion care about these rules. Before orthodox religion took over the world because it was good for controlling people, most people observed religious rites because it gave them mental wellness, and didn't think too much on it after that.

@m.m.1301 Nah, religion in pagan Europe was quite communal. Most "Christian" Christmas traditions are actually pagan, done to appease them and entice them into becoming Christian so they didn't have to give up their parties and stuff.

I'll pretend that I learned something amid all that Kanji and Chinese.

You really shouldn't be so arrogant, you'll find it very difficult to talk to anyone else about your beliefs without them immediately thinking you're obnoxious. Like I did just now. Even if you believe that God is holier than terms like "religion," there's this thing called "being polite" where you keep your opinions to yourself when it's obvious you'll put off the other person.

That's always been a melodramatic interpretation. No Christian sees it that way. The Eucharist is supposed to be like partaking in the Last Supper, which, as we know, Jesus was not eaten at. The terms "blood and body of Christ" are purely metaphorical.

@holydrummer Then I suppose, like in all things, there's a bigger divergence of opinions than I realized.

@Candlemancer We'd be so much better off with their oppressors, the Muslims, ruling the world once they've all been ended. /sarc

@Trainfan1055Janathan It's still the official term of the AKC. You will hear many who style themselves dog experts call female dogs bitches in the US.

That's almost certainly not what they were getting at. "God is dead" is almost always a reference to Nietzsche. The Japanese are very fond of referencing him. Nietzsche's essays on the matter are not made from the perspective of an atheist coldly making a factual statement. They are made from another Christian, lamenting the fact that society no longer acknowledges God. For God to be dead, he would have had to be alive in the first place; the statement does not even make sense coming from an atheist's mouth.
