I'm wondering what religions/cultures people are part of on notebook.ai, not to be rude but I want to learn more about different religions and cultures. Is this an offensive question or not, I'm not going to disrespect anybody's religion/culture so if you intend to join this chat you need to let people believe what they believe and be who they are and not be a jerk about it. Have a nice day!

I'm a Traditional Catholic…

Cool!

I'm a Conservative Christian.

That's very interesting, I don't really know much about Conservative Christianity, could you tell me more about it?

Well, we go to church on Sundays. We are relatively normal people. We aim to spread the word of God, just not like the Mormons. We create fixing ministries to show others the love that Christ showed us, or that's just my church. We understand no one is perfect and we strive to be like God. We tend to be forgiving. (unless your an old hag who gossips.) We memorize the word of God (Bible verses) so if we get into a sticky situation, we can reference that verse to help us in the situation.
Um, I don't support Lgbt, since I trust in God more than humans. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to harass someone for being Lgbt. I just don't think its right.
I was going to say something else but i forgot. Sorry, it's like 100 degrees over here and my acs broken.

Yeah, hot weather'll do that to you.

yuppp

hi Christian here but leaning towards agnostic..well not really. Like I definitely believe in Jesus and the Bible and all, but I've been around so many hypocritical Christians and been subjected to…stuff. That I just. I'm not sure. I'm literally ONLY sure about Jesus and His love and His messages.

Very similar to what my family believes. Since God is supposed to be the embodiment of love and we are based from God we just love people and try to be kind. I think that even though nobody is perfect nobody has to be as long as they are kind.

Oh I know the struggle friend. The Pope's being really hypocritical and other things right now…

Um… I don't think that really…. erm….. that's a little off topic….

The Pope? What did he do wrong lol I was talking about people I know personally

I don't think anyone even listens to the Pope anymore.

But just wondering, should I incorperate a religion/culture I'm not part of in my novel? Or is that racist? I don't want to offend anyone.

Religion isn't race. Plus, it's great to be diverse! Part of being a writer is being able to write from wildly different points of view and still tell a story that's entirely yours.

(Sorry, ma had just informed me on what was going on with the Vatican)
I don't think it's racist….
It depends on the plot a bit I guess.

Hey I'm a satanist (go to urban dictionary to know what I mean, also here's a link to a video that explains it pretty well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk7ORDgwlq0) so if you want to ask me anything about that I'll be up for it.

You don't have to, dependent on the area. If its a small town and everyone goes to the same church or somethin, sure why not have it only one religion? It's okay to be diverse. I'm diverting my characters right now. They used to be all Republican Christians, now their tons of different stuff.

Interesting…. It's weird to me, but hey, we're all human.

That's very interesting. I haven't actually heard of Satanism before, could you elaborate?

Well really we don't believe there is a God, and it's just respect everyone and follow the key rules. here are some of them.

• One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
• The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit hat should prevail over laws and institutions.
• One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
• The freedom of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
• Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
• People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may ave been caused.
• Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
  So be kind and do justice and don't harm. They way I kind of explain it to my friends is that it's a treat-yourself day and a I-should-get-work-done day mixed together.

That's quite interesting, is there any specific holidays or ceremonies?
