@Manji 卍   yea,i've seen on youtube people getting possessed in churches
that shits crazy.don't even know which is fake and which is not

about 6 or 7 years ago i went to my friend's church and his mother got "possessed" along with some few people.
he bursted into tears and i almost pissed my pants.since the happening i didn't have any contact with religiosity,but my relatives still into it.
don't know which "god" is real or which "devil" is real,but one thing is sure...these things exist.everyone just needs to have a real experience to get their minds "unlocked". 
 
sometimes i feel an enormous hatred for religious people and anything related to religion.
sometimes i envy those whom can believe in a god wholeheartedly and are able to find comfort in it,
because life doesn't make sense at all and everything is fated to end,and they look like they have something else to look upon.
 
i feel like i'm trapped when it comes to such things.
the arguments of atheists are very basic and sometimes childish,due to the fact that 98% of them didn't have any experience with the "unnatural",and on other hand religiosity looks claustrophobic,scary and antiquated.
 
 

Funny, my mom says that a lot. That most atheists just rebelled against a religious upbringing to be free of any kind of moral responsibility. I gotta say she doesn't have it all wrong and after some personal experience, I agree to some extent. People nowadays DO look for rights and avoid duties in any aspect of life. They don't want the constraints of a committed relationship, of children, and of course, a God/Religion/spiritual belief.
However, the personal search for a spiritual life is inherent to human beings, and as it can be seen in this very thread, even proclaimed atheists say they are "considering switching to this and that". Are they atheists because they truly do not believe in anything spiritual or are they just rejecting the religions they know (and their inconvenient constraints)? If they truly are atheists and deny the existence of gods, why are they still searching for "something" spiritual? I might have a wrong definition of atheism, feel free to correct me, but I was under the impression/knowledge that they deny spirituality altogether.
This goes back to what I said above, religion is natural, inevitable, and a part of what makes us human.
And they do provide a lot of comfort for many people. Abolishing religions is as selfish as imposing them.
Same, if we look into them they all have common points and even common reasoning and rules.
 
These two pretty much sum up my current relationship with God/religion.
I felt that too and I went through a phase of spiritual rebellion and felt free indeed... and now somehow I've gone back to praying occasionally and even stepping into a church every once in a while, mostly when I want to thank whoever is up there for the good things life keeps giving me. If there is indeed a higher power giving away 30 minutes to give thanks and listen to a couple of readings isn't bad. I feel as free as ever for doing so.
Yeah, I agree once again. My "issue" is not with God himself, but with mankind and the way they have twisted and defiled every form of organized religion, which may be really good natured at heart, but humans aren't always so. This is also another reason why I could never call myself an atheist, or attempt to be one. I can't blame a god for what people do in his name, especially with the strong concept of free will present in many religions.
 
I was raised a Roman Catholic, in a very strictly religious household, went to Catholic school as well as to church every Sunday and special required dates and I started questioning all of it at a rather early age. What I am somewhat grateful for is that my family is not only religious but also most have studied Philosophy/Theology and those who haven't majored formally in it take intense courses on those matters constantly, so whenever I questioned something what I got wasn't always a "because God/the Bible says so" (I did from my not-so-educated mom) but actual explanations, interpretations, teachings and tools that encouraged me to think a bit more about religion instead of blindly accepting whatever without question. It is also a reason why I have a degree of respect for my family's choice of a religious life and while I do not want it for myself and I do not agree with many personal views, they have been very open to many discussions and I have even brought topics such as homosexuality and gender identity into discussion with neutral and positive results (my mother now lowkey advocated for same sex marriage), so if they are willing to open up to certain topics and at least let me explain some of my worldviews, then who am I to shit on their belief and lifestyle under their own roofs?
 
So yeah, I sometimes go to church when I visit for the weekend, mostly to ease my mother's concern about my soul and show respect for her lifestyle, despite not following it myself. I do believe in a higher power, but I'm not really comfortable with the Catholic church as an institution due to its current state (I think no one here is). I'm very curious about Buddhism as a lifestyle, but educating myself and following an Asian religion in a deeply Catholic country is pretty hard and I haven't felt the strong spiritual need to yet.
As for the Bible itself, I take the Old Testament as any other religious mythology. What matters the most for Catholics is the new testament and the teaching there is love thy neighbor and God and that's about it. You also have to consider many things in the Old Testament were written as laws and whatnot for a primitive civilization to abide to in order to strive, and the best way to get people to abide to stuff such as "don't steal or lust after your pal's wife" was with the underlying religious threat. But take it like what it is; a very old set of rules for a primitive-ish civilization. Idk why Christian groups still take everything there so seriously.
 
PS: I'm not sure how protestant branches of Christianity teach science in the Northern Hemisphere, but being educated in a strictly Opus Dei school, we were never denied scientific knowledge, evolution, or any other learning tool. The only single point where the Catholic Church formally disagrees with evolution is the fact that man evolved from apes, due to the soul issue, mainly. But I've never seen them deny science or take the Old Testament literally.

Basically everything they've released After their 5th album Hyakkiyakou  on were pretty good. Harushigure,muku, jounoka,the 6th album,senkou...
 
But this one sounds kinda different, they're faster than the usual, with this Galneryus/Fuki feeling on the chorus, nothing is all over the place,the  effects and keyboards are actually enjoyable.Really liked this track, I must say that I'm impressed,one entire decade releasing one album a year while touring , they still got it and didn't run out of ideas..
 
 

i wouldn't say a thing on this topic cuz in my humble opinion,religion is not something to "discuss",unless you're talking to someone with a good knowledge on the subject in order to answer your questions and give you some "direction" or whatever you're looking for.but this is basically my story.however,it's been 1 or 2 years that i've been struggling to keep 100% atheist.internet is an amazing tool and i'm kinda adicted to information,so accidentally i ended up watching some stuff recomended by youtube and it explained about the "signs" of the apocalypse going on around the world,stuff that i didn't even imagine that was happening.if i assume that all of that explanation and facts are bullshit i'd be just an ignorant person.you gotta give credits to what makes sense and try to be open minded.
 
currently i've been thinking with myself: it's so easy to be an atheist,i mean...just like a russian philosopher called Dostoiévski said "if god does not exist everything is permitted". What could be more liberating than that?no god,no judgement,no reckoning day,no heaven,no hell...If you die,you'll be gone,end of history,that's it. that would be just perfect.
 
But the thought that there's some kind of "spiritual warfare" 24/7 going on and you'll be judged based on all the choices that you made by an almighty entity who created everything you see is scary.it bothers people,it bothers a lot.Futhermore,that black book isn't an idiot book at all,there's a lot of interesting things in it.if you forget all the religious sphere and try to read that as a regular book you'll find yourself intrigued with some things.All of that based on christianity,can't say much about islam,to me that's just a harsh version of cristianity that looks like a death cult. budhism,hinduism,etc,i only heard some stuff here and there.
(sorry for the big text).

Lin deserves huge credit hes taking up a huge role, not only is he joining a huge band but he has to make up for 2 guitarists. From the samples hes doing amazing i loved him in abstracts and im happy hes here. He gets to shine with a solo on the last track very nice ! 

MIO's harsh vocals are so enjoyable
he just need to get rid of that homeless-otaku outfit.

❤️
Sorry for the late reply seems I hadn't hit the notify of replies 😂 Yeah, I can't promise exactly when tho! The lyrics at least they have in the video, I tossed it on my request list, making a topic never hurts - who knows someone else could get it done before me

Uhm, they are. 

honestly, i can only speak from my own experiences from existing within a marginalized group.  the only thing i really want is to be able to survive and not be mocked or made fun of for trying to be content with my survival.  but, yeah, i get it.  some people do take it really far and assume things that don’t seem like attacks (to me anyway) are.  although, this isn’t me saying that jokes about trans folk are funny.  i think it depends on the joke itself and the implication?  like i have a friend who is fat, so she calls herself a trans fat sometimes and that’s p funny.  

when it comes to such horrible cases,feminists or the movement sympathizers always say stuff like:
"oh,these or extreme cases" or "feminism is not like that",etc.
the thing is way more complex than we can imagine,and there's also the whole left-wing political agenda in it,
they dominate the mainstream media,they will do their best to deliver the news the way they think it's best.
 

that's really interesting what you said,and definitely something to ponder deeply.
i didn't mean that i wanted these labels to be necessarily erased.as you said,they create a sense of community,and till that it's ok.
but the current scenario isn't good.these group of people or communities doesn't seem to be satisfied purely as a community
most of them became edgy people,trying to spread their  worldview to the masses,sometimes pushing it down your throat,by trying to create laws that puts in danger your freedom of speech,disrespecting and mockering those who don't agree with them.they're promoting the segregation of society with the excuse that it's a fight for rights and equallity.

i’m not sure the labels are the issue?  trans women of color aren’t being murdered, beaten, etc bc of the label itself.  it’s not the labels causing problems, but probably more so that it’s human nature to judge and categorize, at least at the very core.  there’s obviously other contributing factors.  labeling is also part of human nature.  our brains automatically categorize things to try and understand them.
 
groups exist to create a sense of community.  considering all the bullshit i see in comments on articles about trans folk (as an example), finding a place where you’re accepted for being who you are without any question (community) is important.
 
erasing labels is idealistic, but not even close to realistic.  

@secret_no_03   GZUS,i'm not saying that the murderers were feminists declared,nor @Euronymous said so.
we pointed that all these things are,indeed,related to each other.
 
@Gesu  i was always pro abortion.but after multiple researchers and videos about the subject i changed my opinion.
abortion is murder.your body is yours,but from the moment that there's another living creature inside of your,it's no longer your decision whether
the kid has to live or not.The fetus/kid is depending on you,but it's not you,you don't  have the right.
Even at the most horrible cases like raping,the mother must bear with it for the sake of the baby,and if she wants to,give it to the adoption when it's born.
 

i agree with you,sincerely. and that was exactly what i used to say to defend my pro abortion position.
think about how many kids are living in poverty right now,getting neglected or mistreated...it would be so much better if none of them were brought to this world.but there is the right to live and it is a decision that only the owners of their own lives can make.

what? your argument is just that the article doesn't mention feminism? 
 
the murder case is DIRECTLY linked to feminism. just like @Euronymous mentioned, what feminists does nowadays is just spread confusion
and the demonization of male,this movement fell into a state of misandry. 
i had the displeasure to frequent university with some feminist girls and they openly adimited that if they had an "unplanned" child they'd just go for the abortion. There you can sense all the craziness of this movement. 
You said yourself that the killers did what they did only because the kid resembled the biological father. Well,isn't that the worldview of the feminists? hating on male? i'm not saying that every feminist is a murder (even though abortion is murder),but when you spread the hate,like they do,you end up creating these monsters,and  consequetly victims.
 
@Euronymous  is absolutely right.

@spockitty
I suggest you to read again everything I said, because I feel like you misunderstood many points.
 
As I said, feminism genuinely begun fighting for the rights of women and equality before the law. That's the essence of feminism,and I totally support that.
 
However,the contemporary feminism is not a liberation from sexism and fighting for the women's rights anymore, it became the " demonization " of males, and it's perfectly right to compared it with communism in terms of toxicity and with Nazism, because that's what Hitler did before becoming the Führer.He demonized the Jews, blaming them for all the problems that Germany had at the time.That's the direction feminism took,they are raising women by lowering men....And I didn't even mentioned all the "arguments" pro abortion, which is a monstrosity.
 
 
Furthermore,I said that we are men and women, pointing the fact that that's the ONLY difference between us humans in terms of biology. Before homo or straight,black or White,you are human,so as a human you must be treated, before your ideologies or whatever.Some groups want special treatment just because they belong to these groups.
 

Well, I've personally seen and heard feminists advocate for the abortion of male fetuses for the only sin of being male. I don't see how that is different from nazism.

@secret_no_03 
 
It makes total sense to me talking about feminism on this topic,one thing leads to another and becomes something more.
I talk a lot with @Manji 卍 and he told me about a recent crime evolving a couple of lesbians who mutilated his 9 old son's genitals to transform him into a girl,and decapitated him because they hated him for being a boy.
