That's how most "real" religions are.
Oh yeah 100%. I was just going in on Christianity specifically since that was what was mentioned.

Bigots are everywhere. But japanese want to make America great again?

What's going on with the math here? Percent per 100'000?
That's what you have to use because they have fewer people per capita. It's basic math.

Admittedly, ignorance respects no particular faith. That said, Christianity does seem to have quite the stranglehold on it.

Do you want to talk about Satan?
We enjoy sex, responsible drug use and rock and roll.
Anybody who rebels against the biblical god has the right idea.

But usually, you have total numbers per 100k and that's the percents. % is parts of hundred, no matter what.

Yes, there just shouldn't be a percentage sign. It's not a percentage. The value is probably around 5 something per 100k.

Apparently the moonies don't help things.
The weird thing is that they're supposed to be Korean, and they're historically not fond of one another. But then, anything to make a
buckyen. -
I don't view christianity as a real religion tbh. Maybe way back when it was but nowadays it's just a way for fragile suburbanites to justify their victim complex and bigotry.
I would specify that the views and practices of modern religious have probably diverged to a very likely large extent from that of their founding predecessors, but I’d also imagine those same predecessors also used religion to justify their victim complexes and bigotries. The two groups, separated by many thousands of years, seem to have much the same underlying mentalities.

Wait, wait, wait.
Talk all the shit you want about how people twist the meanings of the book/religion, there are some very good stories in the Bible.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]but the stories! The poetry!
They're not that good, though. Some of them sorta stand up as mediocre. Compare them to an anthology by, like, le'guinn, known more as a novelist who could maintain consistent characters plot themes and tone for the length of a fucking novel. You know who fucking wins.

You cannot, but please do show this supposedly zero make-believe form of Buddhism.
In the case of non-theistic Satanism, there is a moral code, a set of beliefs, and a community of people with shared values, as well as holidays and rituals. Just nothing supernatural.
Exactly, it's a club not a religion.
-
Lol, '50s seppo hippie shit? I was expecting something a bit more real and legitimate.
I'd say that's equally as much a club and not a religion as satanism is if that's the case.
-
Look it's cool that you're in a philosophical moral club, but don't go around defending religion by calling yourself a religion and saying 'look at me as an example of a good religion' when you don't actually hold religious/supranatural beliefs.
And if you do hold such beliefs, don't claim you accept reality.
That's a controversial take.
As far as I'm concerned, TST is only a "religion" on the books as a basic requirement for them to insert themselves into all of the places that religion, specifically Christianity, is inserted into by government, so they can demonstrate the hypocrisy of the "leadership" that was elected.
Also, having a belief that there isn't anything in the great beyond, is still a belief. You can have a belief without denying reality/Science. None of these things are mutually exclusive. I'm saddened that you don't seem to believe that.
At the end of the day, I see anyone identifying as a satanist under TST to be doing advocacy work on behalf of nonbelievers, since most governments would rather deny all religious symbols/rituals/information from government than allow "Satanists" a platform. Their actions unilaterally has eliminated, mitigated, or otherwise diminished the involvement of any one particular sky daddy from government. It's a worthwhile thing to be done.
You're entitled to an opinion, even if everyone else disagrees, so think whatever you want. I don't agree that you can't be agnostic/atheist and be a part of a "religion". You absolutely can.
Even the lack of a belief is, in and of itself, a belief.

Slightly higher! Gottem!

I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.
The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.
Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can't tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.
This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.
Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man's shoes on the daily.
Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.
Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.
From my experience, doctors tend to despise IT.

From my experience, anyone that works with doctors despise them, so that road certainly goes both ways.
Also, from my experience, they tend to love when you pick up the phone at 4am, remote into their machine, and just fix their problem so they can get back to work.
Day shift people suck anyways.

Exactly, the post is meaningless. Unless anyone believes there are fewer than 3000 homeless people in Japan lol.

That's only because you live in America.
