Virtual reality girlfriend

[Catholic_Lady]

Also, I've noticed some people here use the philosophy of "if it makes you happy, then go for it" for any action/lifestyle under the sun that isn't directly harming another.

...Yet take a much more critical/judgmental approach when it comes to people taking joy in their faith.  

Why does the logic of "if it makes you happy, go for it" get tossed out the window when it comes to theists who's faith brings them happiness? Who are happy when they go to church, pray, sing together, believe, etc?

Some food for thought.

Live and let live =/= ban on criticism and critique. 

If you air your ideas about your beliefs in the real world, expect people to talk back. The fact there is even a discussion about the subject of virtual girlfriend's online (if they do harm anyone it could be argued it is only be the person indulging in it, which can't often be said of religious faith) is surely testament to that, no?

But that's the thing though. They don't give criticism or critique to practically any lifestyle or action a person takes on the basis that "if it makes you happy, go for it." No critique necessary. No reason for anyone else to care or put further thought into. 

...It does not seem to be that way when it comes to people going to church, praying, or believing. 

And I'm not talking about having a discussion with a religious person about what they believe, and disagreeing with them and telling them the reasons why you think their logic is flawed. I'm talking about actually being opposed to this persons' lifestyle of prayer, belief, and church going. Some of the same people preaching "if it makes you happy, go for it" are also some of the people who would be opposed to another person having a religious lifestyle.
