Hedonism
February 13, 2013 at 4:06 pm
One of the things that bothers me most about religion is that it almost uniformly is about denying oneself pleasure. Also, moral theories are often about denying oneself pleasure. Therefore, I am drawn to hedonism, a philosophy that holds that seeking pleasure is not only good, it is the only good. While I don't necessarily agree with that philosophy wholeheartedly, it is interesting to me.

Are there any hedonists here? Is hedonism compatible with religion or morality? What are your views on hedonism?
