[QUOTE="SwissedToast, post: 7251, member: 82"] That's the thing, I'm not lmao! Religion huh. I was raised in a Chinese immigrant converted Christian family, my father works in Church and ministry and I've grown to be really sick of his seemingly shallow "you need Jesus" being crammed down my throat whenever I come to him with my issues. So I'm biased. Is there a heaven or hell? Only in the concept that you're either on one team or the other. I could care less about the afterlife. It's irrelevant to this life and due to my self-destructiveness a large part of me welcomes the idea of eternal suffering. However that's not to say I'm a fedora-vaping aetheist. At least in the way that I don't go out of my way to align myself with religious/non-religious ideals. Same with politics. No identity, as I've mentioned that's a serious issue for me right now. Anyway I mean I at least acknowledge the power of religion. Faith, optimism, forgiveness, mercy, and prayer have undeniable power, and immense potentially life-changing power at that. If believing in your subjective interpertation of black Jesus gets you through grief than good for you. I just can't quite swallow that pill of what I see as oh too often baseless self-delusions.
