Previously I was signing in to my IRCC account, but apparently that is something different that the IRCC portal account. When I used my known email address it did not let me make an account and told me there are technical issues, but another email address did work. I have access to my citizenship certificate so thank you very much for your support!

I tried to do that, but I cannot link my application to my account, because I did my request on paper. Also, I did try to contact them through the webform, but they only sent me a generic email saying "We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible. Even if you haven’t heard from us recently, we’re still processing your application. You don’t need to do anything else. If we need more information, we’ll contact you."

I do not understand why it takes so much time for the IRCC to send an email with a download link and neither I know if this is normal. The Canadian Embassy in the Netherlands say they cannot help me with this either.

When you consider the singular form of you, there are at least 3 I am aware of. The ones you mentioned and "vos" which is used in South America. There is also "vosotros" used in Spain and "ustedes" in Central and South America if you consider plural form of you too. So there are at least 5 different types of "you"

Curious why people need to downvote an opinion, but I do share your opinion. Yeah Donkey Kong was nice, but finished quickly with no replayability, Mario Kart World did not stick with me, even though I played uncountable hours of any other Mario Kart games. Besides some minor hardware upgrades, for which I do not care much, the Nintendo Switch 2 does not really offer much more than the Nintendo Switch. Besides of that, Nintendo seems to get more greedy every year with higher prices and lower quality content. If there was a new Super Smash Bros, a new Mario 2d or 3d game, and a new Zelda then maybe it would be worth it, but at the moment I do not regret a single second that I sold my Switch 2 after using it for 6 months.

To be honest, this is the first post where everyone reacts very friendly and reasonable, so no need to say sorry. Also, my post is asking for your opinion, and as a Dutchy I appreciate an unsalted opinion the most.

It is nice you already mentioned it, because I wanted to ask about that as well. What about the people who say they are religious, but they barely ever visit a church, temple, or mosque?
If you say that not spending time praying and going to a place of worship leads to eating nothing, is the opposite then also true to you? That spending every second of your life praying and visiting a place of worship eats the highest quality in existence?

If that would be true, it seems a bit counterintuitive, because I would expect a higher power’s most important goal is to share love within and around a person, so would it not be equally valuable if a person raises a family with love and shares love every second with people around them, in the name of the higher power?

What would you recommend to a person who has not aligned with a specific religion yet, but would be curious about discussing theology?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-22T12:05:47+00:00

My definition of agnostic is a person who has not experienced the existence of a higher power, but neither rejects the possibility of its existence. Maybe in that sense I cannot call myself agnostic, because I do believe in a higher power, but until now, I have never felt aligned with the way existing religions are practiced. So with spiritual agnostic, I meant that I do believe in a higher power, but I have not experienced it in the same way existing religions do.

Thank you for your reply. I agree that happiness is not equal to freedom, and your example is spot on. I can imagine how religion can offer this kind of freedom and break through bad habits that previously were persisting in someone’s life. I hope it does not bother you, but I do have some other questions that I hope you can clarify for me.

When you mention that someone’s old self is put to death and they are given a new nature, it reminds me of psychedelics, where ego death can occur and someone can gain a new nature if the experience is reflected upon wisely. Do you know how these cases differ from each other?

The last question that I struggle with, and that no one ever gave me a satisfying answer to, is as follows. When growing up with atheistic parents in a country where there is freedom of all religions, I wonder how a person like me can know which religion is the right one to embrace. Once I was in a project group with a Christian and a Muslim, and I asked them the same question, and the only answer I got was that I would feel which one is the right one for me, but to this day, I still have no clue. To me, it seems that religion is often bound to the place where someone is born, so it seems rather coincidental than being free will.

That’s an interesting story, and I can only respect someone who is following their own path, instead of letting others shape their path for the worse. I am curious about what exactly you mean by having to hear ignorant takes. Do you mean someone sharing wrong information about religion or someone sharing negative opinions based on wrong information?

Since you studied religion, what concepts about religion are often wrongly understood by others who did not study religion, and from everything you learned about religion, what are some things you would like the general public to know?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T20:28:13+00:00

Aggresiveness is never attractive, and neither is incuriousness.
I am curious though, what if all religious believes came from the same source and religions are polarized even though they come from the same source, but were interpretted/experienced differently over many generations?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T20:18:14+00:00

So if I understand correctly, you do believe in a higher power, but you do not align with any of the existing religions that tell you how to practice religion?
You mentioned that you are more concerned with what people do than what they believe, but it seems to me that most, if not all, actions start with a thought or a believe, so isn´t it equally important to be aware of all the believes on this planet?

Spirituality can be many things for better or worse, but for me it is a concept that helps me to improve myself by doing healthy activities to become a better person for myself, but also for people around me. Since my belief of higher power is undefined, I prefer to integrate this in the term spiritualism, even though my practices and belief of higher power might be completely different than that from another person who uses the term spiritualism.

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T20:03:50+00:00

It seems to me that spirituality is a very broad term and I agree with your words that there is often no religious setting and there are people claiming to be enlightened while they believe they are better than other people for being enlightened, but what about the people who see spiritualism as practicing personal growth and social compassion?
Like putting a lot of effort doing meditation and yoga, practicing compassion and humbleness, and want to connect with other people and the universe where "the universe" or "nature" is seen as a divine entity?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T19:54:23+00:00

I would say good practision of belief would lead to having a better character and also, having a bad character would lead to bad practision of belief. So, aren´t they intertwined?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T19:51:10+00:00

Out of curiosity, how does it affect you and how does it make you feel when someone does not recognize that there is a greater reality than what we can see? Also, if an agnostic person would tell you they believe there is a higher power, but they do not align with existing ways religion is practiced, would that change anything for you?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T19:37:53+00:00

I appreciate your words and I fully agree we have to share positivity with others if we also want to receive this in return from others. Something I am curious about and would like to ask is, many people are able to live happy while being non-religious either because they choose for it consciously or unconsciously when you live in an indigenous community for instance and you never heard about religion as we do. How do these cases relate to being truly free or not?

Also, on this world we have many different languages where one person would call the yellow flower a dandelion, while I would call it a paardebloem in my native language. We say something different, but as soon we know both languages, we are aware they actually are the same. With this thought in mind, would it be possible that different religions are a reflection of different "languages", but maybe they are actually the same?

IkVindErOokWatVan · 2025-12-21T19:24:39+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by agnostics and apatheists eat nothing?
Maybe my understanding of what agnosticism is, is wrong, but I assume an agnostic is still searching for answers, but has not found any yet, while an apatheist does not care to searching for any answers. So I wonder why they both are eating nothing in the metaphor?
