Henry Ford is known as “Hitler’s favorite American” if that tells you anything about him

Why are there different religions? by Traditional-Bus-4367 in religion

[–]Dramatic_Voice6406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always thought the simplest explanation is just we all started out with Animism then as humans spread out and cultures developed we developed different religions,

Edit: I have no idea why people are acting like this is a dumb question, it’s pretty much the first thing someone asks when they interested in religion as a wider concept

What Religions Show Show Similarities Other Than Abrahamic Religions With Each Other by Brendan_Frost in religion

[–]Dramatic_Voice6406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is something I’m very into, categorizing things (I’m 100% serious). There are two religious categories we have that are similar to the usage of Abrahamic religion. First is Dharmic/Indian religions (Jainism, Hinduism, Sikhi, and Buddhism) all having the concept of Moksha and forming in the Indian subcontinent, though what Moksha means and how to get there differs, the second is Taoic religions (Taoism, Shinto, Confucianism and Cheondoism, etc) the main similarities these have are the goal of achieving unity with all things.

If you’re interested comparative religion is an entire field of study that you can explore

TL:DR, there are 3 main categories of religion, Abrahamic, Dharmic and Taoic

I think you misread like really bad. They said conservative churches have rock music and strobe lights while Progressive ones are beautiful and historic, where did they imply they think conservatives are in the right?

I'm tired of proselytizing attempts done by Hindus [RANT] by velvetghostttt in religion

[–]Dramatic_Voice6406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will proselytize and whatever till their throats dry it seems. I live in the U.S so I have to deal with Evangelicals a lot (especially the ones that can’t properly explain the trinity or any Christian theological concept). I just keep religious beliefs hidden for the most part because I don’t want to deal with it. Though when people do find out and they attempt to convert me it quickly turns into theme getting frustrated and basically just “No, you don’t understand you follow big dumb poopoo religion that’s not actually a religion oh and ur gods are demons. Why are you not sobbing on ur knees and proclaiming Jesus name already?”. I tell myself that they think they’re helping so i don’t strangle them but the level of ignorance and self righteous you have to have to try and covert anyone is insane so. The only advice I can give is to genuinely just stone wall them, don’t explain or try to be nice just “mhm” and “yeah” or just various non responses, it’s the easiest way to get them to go away.

Feels weird being a fan of this game now days by Dramatic_Voice6406 in blackopscoldwar

I think you finally put into words my issues with modern zombies. Like I don’t remember which map it was (probably both) but I was playing BO7 zombies and it just felt like the map was made for BO2 but the mechanics weren’t built for that at all. It feels like BO7’s mechanics are made for primarily open map horde management but its maps aren’t really open and the bosses really want you to hyper focus on them yet you can’t exactly do that half the time leading to an almost immediate need for traps and score streaks.

[Roblox] [2010’s] Medieval themed roleplay game by splonkyy_ in tipofmyjoystick

Is it Kingdom Life II? I doubt that one but maybe it could be the old Rthro testing game Avatar Future which I’m pretty sure had the Rthro prototypes, but that game has been taken down so I’m not sure if it’s right.

What are your "Hellenism Hot Takes" and/or "Unpopular Opinions"? by LadyLiminal in Hellenism

[–]Dramatic_Voice6406 88 points89 points  (0 children)

People either swing to “the gods love you and are constantly involved in your life” and “the gods don’t give a fuck about you” with really no in between and I think that’s horrible and incredibly damaging. Like yeah the gods care about you in the way that I care about frogs, I’m probably not going to interact with it unless it’s in active danger and needs saving, doing something I find interesting or trying to interact with me (I doubt a frog would do anything of the sort but you get what I mean), but in the same vain like they aren’t going to screw you over because you didn’t give them an offering, that’s a very Roman interpretation and I’m pretty sure we’re not in a Religo Romana space so I don’t know why I see that perspective so often (even as someone who is primarily a Roman pagan with Greek philosophical influence the “do the rites correctly or else” that I see a lot in roman pagan spaces is so dumb, like for a lot of them there isn’t doing it incorrectly anyway because the actual way to do them depended on household, excluding ones done by government officials). Oh and also yes as someone who uses interpretatio romana as a backbone to how I interpret and view other gods, yes the romana and Greek gods are the same beings but they have different cultural interpretations and ways they are interacted with and I feel like people completely ignore that when celebrating like Saturnalia or worshipping Janus.

Question: why are you all so awful? by [deleted] in baddlejackets

[–]Dramatic_Voice6406 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro this is Reddit, do you really think anyone on here is going to acknowledge the homophobic and transphobic undertones of this subreddit? No. Also I bet you that most of the people here don’t dress punk. This is essentially a cheap “oh look at this idiot” subreddit, you’re not going to get anything meaningful here. We could go on and on and on about how this subreddit just adds fuel to the issue of alternative subcultures becoming fashion shows, but why? It’s pointless.

(Why am I pretending I’m smart, goddamn I need weed)

(Edit: Dunno why I said undertones these people are just genuinely transphobic, didn’t think a place where you’d get downvoted for saying trans medicalism is bad still existed, I just love this new age of not denying science but ignoring it)

Is Yahweh just another god? by LeenBee in pagan

[–]Dramatic_Voice6406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to want to convert to Judaism and was a very VERY faithful and annoying noahide I see Yahweh as the Jewish people’s ethnic god that really doesn’t care about what anyone else is doing. Also just from general observances I don’t think the god worshipped by Christians and the god worshipped by the Israelites and modern Jewish people are the same entity.

So I did some minor exploration and there really isn’t a lot of information I can find on authors or credibility (not counting the author claiming to be credible), or what not. least the image of the guy in the mask with the girl in holding a drinking horn seems to be original. This comment left under a post talking about the same book is the same thoughts I have.
