How ironic that a church founded on a dispute about marriage is, almost 500 years later, feuding on the definition of marriage.

Gay members, if the church don't want you, move and find another one, or start your own. The dogma shouldn't be more important than the faith.

I won't ever belong to a faith fully; too much dogma, ritual and leadership with their own agendas. However i find the philosophy of Buddhism so kind and grounded.

As a non practising person I check into these Buddhist 8-fold-path pages 👇 every so often bc they are so wise and it helps me just live my life kindly

@closest_eves I've dabbled in religion. Married to a catholic (lapsed) and brought up Anglican (but only for christenings, weddings and funerals). The Bible imho is a nonsense tangle of weird stories and contradictions.

Ppl tell me "you're not supposed to take it *literally* silly" so what's the point? Did he or didn't he feed 5000 with a couple of fish and loaves?

Plus nobody who knows who wrote all these holy texts: could've been BernieTheBigot down the road. And they don't fit our times anymore. And too many holy men put their own personal *take* on them so the line btwn authenticity and interpretation is blurred.

The only belief system that i can say remotely sits well with me is Buddhism. One read of the 4 Noble Truths and specifically the 8-fold path and i felt it was something more profound. Im not a practising Buddhist but it seems just a good way to live a good life.

I know I am a mental defective but... don't the people who are yelling about religious freedom realize that not only does that apply to EVERY religion but also this religion that you have carefully wrapped your lives around just might look like something conspiracy theorist came up with to the next person in line at the bank...
FWIW, 6 years in parochial school has fully prepared me for this observation.

If there is something that we should all praise and pray to, it should be the Sun. Nothing would exist as we know it, without that giant ball of fire in the sky.
