Disclaimer:
This will be one thread out of a long series of threads dedicated to members discussing and debating with the intentions of solely discussing the topics talked about in each thread in a respectable and meaningful manner. Of course, like all other D&D Threads (see what I did there? ) I do expect everyone who participates in this thread to read the D&D forum's rules and to follow them in exact. After all, we don't want any issues. Not to mention that if a debate becomes violent and more so a flame war than a meaningful debate I'll close the thread because all the joy of the discussion/debate was killed. And that'll make me and whoever else that may have wanted to join very sad. :c
Now that the disclaimer is all done. Time for the actual thread's purpose...
Religion & Religious Beliefs
One of the biggest arguments made throughout human history. One that has caused wars and bloodshed just by the sheer controversy it had. Even today the controversy creates heavy stigma, massive arguments and even bloodshed... And we're all gonna have it here in STC. ^^
This discussion will have 2 parts, one that's more personal and another that's more so talking about your thoughts on the subject in general and to spark debate. Both are optional so if you'd like to opt out of one, you're more than free to do so.
Part 1 Questions:
- What religious affiliation or non-religious affiliation do you identify as?
- Does your (non)religious belief have a god(s)? Can your describe what your (non)religious belief describe said God(s)?
- Does your beliefs have an afterlife? What do you believe happens to you when you die? Does it align with your (non)religious beliefs?
- What other powerful, religious themed entities do you believe in? (Ghosts, Angels, Demons, ect...)
- Are you a practice of the religion you identify as? If non-religious are you anti-theist or militant in your beliefs?

- Does your (non)religious belief try to convert others or demands that you convert others? Do you actively try to convert other people into your personal beliefs?
- Does your (non)religious beliefs command you to commit violence? or has violence in any holy text (if any) that it may have? Would you consider doing such if so?
- Do you care about the beliefs of those around you? Does it help or harm your ability to have a stable relationship? If so, how so?
- What else can you tell us about your personal beliefs that I did not mention? Let us all know and learn about your (non)religious beliefs. ^^
