The Finnish state church is dying..
#31
RE: The Finnish state church is dying..
I'll start with the BWTs Big Grin

1. Though some are more open-minded, the stance is still 'no, it's a sin'.
2. I don't know how many that belong to the church, but don't believe in God are, but the overall statistics can be found [url=http://www.stat.fi/til/vaerak/2009/01/vaerak_2009_01_2010-09-30_tau_007_en.html[/url].
3. You don't want to see me type Finnish, I suck at it Big Grin And I think the other members can appreciate us using English.

And the Finnish church is filled with nutcases! There are some decent individuals of course, but there is still so much bias, bullshit and bigotry, just like in any other church. Ours just can't get as crazy as elsewhere, since the state has some control over it. They lure people with sugar but it is still bile that they serve. Not to mention our lovely Christian Democrats with Päivi fucking Räsänen in the lead Tongue
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
