Baptized Catholic.

In my 20s, I decided I knew more than 2,000 years of tradition and fell away from the church.

I'm back.

I like that post.

Have you read this yet?: Pillar of Fire Pillar of Truth

Its probably the best brief encapsulation of Catholicism I have ever found.

Simply a conservative, pro-life, Republican atheist. I said atheist, NOT Atheist. That difference is a sore spot with me. Michael Newdow can take a long walk off of a short pier.

Hardcore, old-school Roman Catholic to the point that I prefer the Latin Mass over the novus ordo. I used to be a Notre Dame fan - back when it was a Catholic school. The many violations of the magisterial teaching of the Church have made Notre Dame more secular than many state schools. Bloody shame.

I'm technically an agnostic - but no. I don't believe in an "afterlife".

Catholic.

Raised Church of England, embraced Anglo-Catholicism at University (the part of the C.ofE. which holds to teaching in line with Catholicism), then accepted the Holy Father's offer in Anglicanorum Coetibus to become a proper legit Catholic while keeping that part of Anglican heritage which is compatible. Received into the Church on Spy Wednesday this year.

I now serve at Mass for both the Ordinariate (of former Anglicans) and at a local parish which has the Traditional Latin Mass.

I was raised Episcopalian, and am becoming a "legit" Catholic the same way.   :hi5:

I find that interesting, since you are from the very cult site that organized a troll attack against us last week.
principlediscordia and eris bar and grill. Are you denying worship of eris? Or is you merely a proponent of anarchy hiding behind a false house of worship?

Yet you have the time to comment about it.  If you truly felt it was an utter waste of time and energy, you would have never bothered to click the link to this thread.

So you are a proven liar after a mere 16 posts.

Then perhaps you should post something more in depth then it being a waste of time for you.

I'm not religious in any sense but I think your simply trying to cause trouble.

I will as soon as I no longer need to defend myself due to my association with some who have caused trouble here.

So then you don't find it an utter waste of time and energy.  So were you lying then, or are you lying now?

Generally speaking, people that find something an utter waste of time and energy, don't bother discussing it.

What I was referring to was the participation in any religion. The topic itself is fascinating.

Discussing or ridiculing?

Many who disbelief tend to unpack lengthy indictments against that which they profess as being non-existent.

That is not to say this describes you but the pattern is so prevelant as to garner reflexive consideration.

I myself am very irreligious--even sacriligious at times--but because *I* enjoy discussing religion I will entertain what-if-it's-true points of view to accomodate the dialogue.

Ridiculing is counter productive to conversation. The only religion I ridicule is mine, I am a Discordian and we are never sure if we have a religion disguised as a joke, or a joke disguised as a religion.

Religion is an emotional topic for many and things can get heated in a heartbeat. I myself was religious for the first 40 years of my life, then just lost the taste for it. As I mentioned in my introduction grilling  :wink: I am spiritual, just not religious.

Waitamiute Hawk.....

So if you don't worship a make believe eris....why do you hang around those boards? Are they just poser sites?
When I poked around I didn't really pick up any sense of reverence or anything over there.

So the eris thing is all just a fraud, right?

Yes, to the majority of us Eris is just a joke. Some take her seriously though. Trying to get Discordians all on the same page is exactly like trying to herd cats. Eris is important because of the original snub and the resulting chaos. One thing most of us do agree on is that the imposition of order will also increase chaos.

As far as poser sites, no. Discordia is very real. There is a group dynamic that can explode when we're not eating our own.  :hyper:

Now my site is not a Discordian site like PD is. We're just an eclectic bunch of misfits.

Figures that professional trolls would come from a pair of sites that are in fact, a lie.

and also as I thought both sites are just a front for good-for-nothing anarchists.

Unfortunately, you don't think trolling a religious forum is a complete and utter waste of time and energy.
