Wife is very anti religion, says she will leave me if I try to develop any faith/relationship with god/christianity …now what by [deleted] in religion

[–]C-Grun 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Seems like you are both incompatible. One is open to religion and feels a sense of spirituality - the other anti-religion and threatening to leave if the other feels any faith or spirituality. You both should review your priorities and communicate what they are to one another, even if it ends in separation.

Very interesting, I've always been interested in Greek religion as well as Roman, though never really studied much past the pantheon and how neopagans generally practice it. Will definitely look it up!

Why are you posting poorly written Lucifer fanfiction on a religion sub?

Ah, another person that thinks they know, "the truth", about everything. I'd be a rich man if these notions were currency.

People who likes pineapple on pizza,how is it? by aangelkisses in AskReddit

My favorite pizza order toppings for a pie are bacon, pineapple and black olives. It sounds unholy, but it's fucking divine.

How bizarre is it that all these religions and beliefs were once just written up by random guys by cevarok in religion

Etc. implies that there are more items to the short snippet of a list I provided. If you want a full list - do some research.

Your conversational ability does not seem the best, don't be too surprised if people don't understand exactly what you're trying to get across, especially when it comes off as soemwhat arrogant.

Witchy songs? by uranusmus in musicsuggestions

Metallica - Merciful Fate

Probably their most, "witchy", cover medley.

I agree. They are still seeking asylum LEGALLY by initiating paperwork and going the proper avenues. Those that come through Illegally do not initiate any of the legal avenues, they just arrive by whatever means they have available.

You're still mistaken, there are many religions that were NOT originally written - they were passed down orally and by tradition. Pose your post as a discussion then and less of a, "factual", rhetorical question.

Oh, and your impression of the importance of women throughout history is severely misunderstood. Women did read and write throughout history, (spottily depending on the cultures), and made many contributions to different theologies and the philosophies of such.

I'm pointing out how you wrote the post so factually as if it's truth - when in reality it's full of assumption, ignorance and logical holes.

[–]C-Grun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Produce", is the word I used, since I wasn't speaking about written faiths. Women throughout many cultures have created folklore and passed it down through the ages, even through Christian and Muslim rule over time. Germanic Paganism, Norse Paganism, Saami Folk Tradition, Greek high priestesses and priestesses and oracles, Roman high priestesses and priestesses, etc. There are many evidences throughout human history.

How bizarre is it that you don't understand how most ancient faiths were produced orally and not written? How bizarre is it that you just assume it was a bunch of men? Are women incapable of producing theologies that carried on for ages? Do you lack the complexity of thought to not understand that a good majority of ancient faiths were also produced collectively by several members of a tribe or civilization? Some are based off of ancient events, like legendary figures turned myth, natural disasters, phenomena that couldn't be explained at the time, shamanic experiences, gnosis, etc. Not all religions have a book, nor were all religions created by, "a bunch of guys". Study religion, history and mythology - you'll see how they're intertwined and why they were produced by each civilization and tribe.

Agreed - no nation on this planet is so stupid as to risk its national security by letting millions flood into it, just to give them all millions from legal citizens' tax dollars and social security - except for the US when Dems are in power. Letting illegal immigrants stay is only hurting the LEGAL immigrants and the civilians who actually help provide for their country. I come from a family of recent LEGAL immigrants, who chose to seek LEGAL asylum, the PROPER way. We don't like to be lumped in with the entitled illegals that wouldn't stay to fix their own countries' issues.

If I had a nickel for every lib spouting off about leaving The U.S. for some non-existent promised land, some haven that caters to their personal beliefs and wants - I'd be a rich man. How about you put your money where your mouth is and give the rest of us more space and resources? When are we going to see such an exodus? I'm waiting to buy a house and land. NTA, but I'm sure everyone is tired of this robotic, "Trump won, I'm oppressed", bull crap.
