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?
Not really lol. 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.
No plans for Europe as of yet. Personally if I'm going to travel to a new place I'd rather do something tropical and/or exotic. Like a Pacific Island or Asia. But Mr CL wants to go to Europe, so maybe someday.
How do you define outlier? Would the theist members on AF be considered outliers due to the fact that AF is primarily secular or because they are actually highly unique people in general?
Would you say that your faith has evolved over the years? Specifically, does having a deeper understanding of your faith mean that you've found deeper, more sophisticated ways to reinforce what you've always thought and felt, or have you actually changed and modified your faith accordingly via your experience and accumulated knowledge? Have you always felt free to filter out and disagree with specific viewpoints/opinions of religious leaders of the Catholic faith and pursue faith in a way that is special to you and makes the most sense to you?
