So recently I've been considering doing 2 podcasts, one would just be a sort of whatever podcast and the other would be a religion podcast. Something talking about the more complex issues with religion and various other nonsense. I just thought I would ask if you guys knew about anything related...
I guess some folks tried to set up a pride event inside of runescape and all this happened. I thought this was pretty funny but I thought I would see how you all feel.

"Looking for big sexy daddy bf!"
So a couple of these have already made their rounds on various other sites but as of yet I haven't seen them around here.
I play a miniature game called infinity which has for quite some time been accused of sexism because of the looks of some of the female miniatures. Here is an example of...
When is it justified to use terror tactics to achieve a goal? When does it become the obvious next step to take hostages or plant bombs? Is it possible to threaten civilians and still remain justified?
If you religion is being oppressed? If someone is mocking everything you hold sacred? Is it...
I had tried to defend Trump for awhile now, not because I thought he was great but just because I didn't think he was the antichrist. Of course he had to do something I couldn't defend though or well a lot of things lately.
He gave 100 billion dollars to Saudi Arabia. That was about the straw...
Last night I randomly looked through the biography of Muhammad and found a few lines that were either messed up, funny or just plain ol weird.

What are some criticisms of Buddhism and Hinduism? This can be anything from serious critique to plain old opinion.
I've met people who were once Christians or Jews among other things that turned to eastern traditions or paganism because of the issues they have had with their original religion. I'm sure someone will be tempted to say "Well atheism was the original belief they had." because you aren't...
I was just wondering if any of the atheists on here had religious traditions they were partial towards? I can think of a few folks like Richard Dawkins ( church of England) or Sam Harris (Buddhism) who are atheists but still have sort of a soft spot for some traditions. Personally I have a soft...
I was just wondering if anyone of you thought there were any religions that are inherently in tune with one of those 3 concepts? Taoism popped into my head to a certain extent but I'm not sure how far you could legitimately take that.
I don't take very good care of myself these days. Lack of motivation being a large part of it and lack of energy being the other.
My diet is pretty bad. It's not the worst mind you but sine I am a type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 3 you would think I would try harder to take care of...
Alright so I think there is a lot in the media today that gets way more hype than I could care for. There are a couple that really stick out to me. Go ahead and list a couple of things you think are overrated in popular culture. This can include shows, people, films, books, games ect.
Game of...
You every notice that it doesn't take long for a lot of our religious and even non-religious threads to turn into a bunch of people asserting they are right and the other person has a childish view? Sometimes I just look through random threads and can't help but notice how little time it takes...
I just found this video and thought I would share it incase any of you might find it interesting. Check out his channel if you are interested in historical discussion about rome, japan , or numerous other subjects. He also has a video series on Japanese mythology .

I've met a number of people over the years that have loved Alan Watts. I've also met a good number of people who think Alan Watts is nothing more than a fraud who knew close to nothing about what he was talking about.
What do you think of Alan Watts?
I have to say I personally think he's fine...
