My facts? If you go slap some random guy in the face. You're like okay, fine! Now time for me to get a job! You go to the interview and guess who's there? The guy you slapped.
You can trust me here, you don't want to go light a bridge on fire and think nothing's gonna happen to you in return. Nothing matters does not equal everything matters. Religion may be extraordinary beliefs to some, but nothing mattering = everything mattering is just as weird as us 'idiotic followers'. :L
I'm not really interested in a theocratic debate. Never had been Christian, never will be. I also think you missed the point entirely - i.… moree. everything matters.
Also, Karma is essentially fairy dust, in my eyes. You are free to present evidence to the contrary, but I am certain there is none.

You can still be a good person without believing in religion. And a person who is religious can also still be a good person while they also … morebelieve in God. Just because someone likes to adhere or follow a certain religion or set of guidelines for whatever reason, doesn't mean that their religion limits how they live their lives as perhaps they can't imagine living their life any other way than the structure their belief system provides. (and to be honest, even if their is no heaven or hell or God, I've seen a lot of people happy with what the scripture has taught them or how it's influenced them to live. Though it's not for everyone.) And again, if you don't believe in God and hate religion you can still have a set of structured rules and morals that you live by because you instinctively know that something is right or wrong.

Then lot of people are wrong.
Karma is the Hindu/Buddhist belief that the sum of your good & bad actions in one life will affect you… morer standing in the next.
Sorry if I sound pedantic, but it annoys me when people corrupt a religious concept by trying to make it something it isn't.
I'd like to ask one thing... why would you slap a random guy in the face in the first place? Chances are Karma will strike back sooner than you think too!

Because "religion is being killed"? It's almost funny that you say "I would be banned" acknowledging that you would get into large arguments against other opinions that you might see as "trolling" then get it locked. Nothing against you, just pointing it out.
This really wasn't meant as a "fuck religion" post or anything like that. Everyone is entitled to their own philosophy. I just thought I'd s… morehare mine.
I am sure if i made a positive religion thread it would either be locked, I would be banned, or it would trolled to fucking hell.

No, it wouldn't, unless you were overly insulting or degrading to those who disagree with you. And when people state their responses, that isn't automatically trolling.
And yeah, you probably will get trolled. Welcome to the internet. I get trolled too. That's nothing new or special.

Religion is being considered a increasingly intolerant issue. It's like the feminism/social issues threads I have posted in or made threads for, even if things are civil and 90% of the people are civil, thoughtful, and respectful those sorts of posts get closed because they still cause too much debate. Atheism posts are just kinda meh, I may be a Christian but I'm not gonna bash an atheist over the head with bible verses and "I feel sorry for you" comments, that's not my job to make anyone feel like they are a lesser for making a conscious decision to not believe in a God.
Religion is too hot an issue to talk about because it has such negative connotations nowadays. I'm just gonna focus on my relationship with God and just try to be a good person. That's all I can do without upsetting someone. Even then I'm still upsetting someone.

I know this isn't necessarily meant as a "fuck religion' post, but the quotation is pretty broad, and "What we do is all that matters" can be understood and misconstrued in different ways. As long as you take it to live your life to the fullest making your own mark on the world and without hurting others, I'll say that this quotation and you're reading of it is a good one.

Since the topic of religion comes up a lot on these forums, I merged this thread with the most recent thread on the subject. I cleaned out a lot of posts about people insulting religion and insulting people. I'll keep this thread active, but only if people are respectful from here on out.
The Telltale Community was created as a forum to discuss the games created by Telltale Games.

People are free to have alternative views on subjects, so please respect that. We ask that you follow those standards for any discussion here on the forums, whether it is about Telltale Games or any off topic discussion.
You may express personal disagreement on certain topics/issues, but refrain from personally insulting or generalizing other individuals/groups of people for their stance, or being discriminatory against someone's gender/race/orientation/disability/etc. If you feel another user is expressing a hateful or bigoted opinion, constructively explain why you think that is instead of personally attacking them and instigating an argument.

"I disagree with this social issue, but I don't look down on you personally for holding that opinion."
"I believe your views on this subject don't treat everyone fairly. Here are my reasons why."
"I don't believe in religion, but I don't look down on those who do."
Examples of unacceptable posts:
"Why would you have that opinion? That's idiotic."
"Engaging in that social issue is unnatural and all people who do it are immoral."
"Your views on this social issue make you a bigot."
"All people who practice your religion are homophobes."
"I don't know why people are still religious. Religion is stupid."
Please remember that we have people from all cultures on these forums, so be respectful. If you were within a group of people who were among those who have views different to your own, and the language you would use would cause them to become upset, don't use that language on the forum.

The informal definition of Karma is good or bad luck, viewed as resulting from one's actions. Therefore it's Karma if someone gets punched back by the random person they chose to punch, it's bad luck if that person just happens to be aggressive. That was the reason I gave Karma a personification in my sentence, because chances are, people aren't just going to let you go slap them without an instant reaction.
I realise i have a problem expressing my opinion to this left forum. So sometimes when i say bold statements , people can't understand my meaning and ban me out of ignorance. So instead of getting in that situation, i refuse to be baited into more pointless arguments. Where i am portrayed as the bad guy. I don't care anymore.

You aren't "baited" into arguments, people want to argue beliefs with you and you enter them and say offensive and incorrect statements a lot. That's your fault, people don't ban you out of ignorance, you break the rules when you get banned. Accept your mistake instead of blaming the political ideals and rules of the forum in general.

That's not karma, that's mere coincidence that hardly actually happens in the real world.
is that rhys
If you say so. Many other religions say the same thing, however. I fail to see why you are more right.
This really wasn't meant as a "fuck religion" post or anything like that. Everyone is entitled to their own philosophy. I just thought I'd share mine.
obviously you'll be sent to jail, but that's not karma.
Karma Isn't the same thing as cause-and-effect, you know that right?
I really don't wish to be 'more right'. I just wish that you'd be a little less reckless with decisions. Being a little more careful :l
Well, yeah. I was aiming that at how they said nothing matters = everything matters
What goes around comes around = cause (what happened) and effect (the result)
Anyways, that's a lot of people's philosophy for karma.
Then lot of people are wrong.

Karma is not just a Buddhist/Hindu belief though..

Yes it is. Karma as you define it is malapropriated.
Still, I get the point you're trying to make. I just don't think people get what they deserve often enough for it to be true.
I am sure if i made a positive religion thread it would either be locked, I would be banned, or it would trolled to fucking hell.

I'd be all over that convo.

He does look like Rhys.

We should stop.

Problem with that is the double standard we have here.
You aren't "baited" into arguments, people want to argue beliefs with you and you enter them and say offensive and incorrect statements a lot.
