Has any argument presented (here or somewhere else) managed to make you question certain things from your religion?
When do you come visit Europe?
Honestly I don't think there is a lot of diversity on the forum. I know there are people here from all over North America and Europe, but it seems most people nonetheless have the same views on most things, despite being from different countries/cultures. There are a handful of people who are "outliars", like the few theists here, and people like Bella, CaptAwesome, PaulPablo sometimes, that one Republican atheist whose name I forget, and maybe a couple others im not thinking about. Other than that, everyone else seems to be of the same mind on things that matter. Interesting question though. What do you think?
This is your thread!
But yeah, I think each person here has a unique view of things. Sure, many of us lean to the European socialist model in terms of politics. But I see people from the UK, a mostly atheist (or non-careist) region of the world, who still come by and talk about things. They have their own culture, not just European, but also as sufferers of an near eternal rainy season.
The Portuguese adore their foods.
The Ozzies have their daily battles with indigenous wildlife.
In the States, you can tell differences between the states themselves - CD from the northwest, calm and enjoying his trees and leaves; mooney and you in Texas more driven to get out of the heat; joods in the northeast with her social life and cool jobs...
Aroura now in Germany is getting that culture shock!
There are lots of tiny things we don't even think of as cultural... from the well known height of water in the toilet, to the way we dispose of our trash, to how we move around town and go shopping, to the types of foods we have available.

I mean, there have been some good questions asked here about my faith that have made me search deeper for answers, and in doing so I've come to a deeper understanding of my faith. But it's never made me have more doubts than I normally would have.
Cool.

May I make a suggestion that combines both?
