Your beliefs (Religion)

[Voidwalker]

If you believe in scientology you lose all credibility.

Please elaborate how you are reading it, because I think you're reading it wrong.

People - Human beings.
who don't accept Christianity - Who don't agree with Christianity.
and don't look at other religions - and don't agree with other religions.
are suffering greatly - are suffering greatly.
from their dose of Christianity - from their Christian pastime.

Human beings who don't agree with Christianity and don't agree with other religions are suffering greatly from their Christian pastime.

In other words, nonreligious people who are formerly Christian are just traumatized by Christianity.

 

[Hakeem]

Ah, I see.

People - Human beings.

Yes.

who don't accept Christianity - Who don't agree with Christianity.

who were being raised as Christians and decided that it was not agreeable.

and don't look at other religions - and don't agree with other religions.

and have never considered looking into other religions.

are suffering greatly - are suffering greatly.

Suffering in the way that an insane person does. Have you ever heard, "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!"
They still have insanity, but in that case, suffer isn't the right word, but they still have something wrong with them.

from their dose of Christianity - from their Christian pastime.

from having been raised the way the were raised.

People who were being raised as Christians and decided that it was not agreeable and have never considered looking into other religions are suffering greatly from having been raised the way the were raised.

In other words, nonreligious people who are formerly Christian are just traumatized by Christianity.

Actually, yes.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Human beings.

Yes.

Really? I was just kidding about that part.

Actually, yes.

I disagree. I was formerly Christian, and I just don't agree with it. I'm not suffering from it, I just find it far-fetched. I appreciate Christianity for (some) of the things it teaches, but it's just not logically appealing.

 

[Hakeem]

Are you open to religion?

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Are you open to religion?

I'm open to whatever can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

[Hakeem]

Then you are the former.

Context

If you don't accept Christianity, you either look for another religion, or you greatly suffer from your experience.

Okay, so maybe you aren't actively searching for another religion, but you are open.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Well, if someone simply refuses to believe something else, it wouldn't always be trauma, it would be ignorance, fear, strong desire, or other.

"A religious person that doesn't know anything about other religions, is a stupid religious person.

An atheist that don't know about religions, is a lazy atheist.

Agnostics are apathetic religious."

Not stupid, ignorant.

Not lazy, ignorant.

They're neither apathetic nor religious. They're either careful or undecided (which can be apathetic, i suppose).

certainly not if you know neither the exact quote nor the name of the guy who said it.
