Hi, everyone.

I've created a new Lemmy instance particularly for the discussion of religion and topics relevant to religion.

Other Lemmy instances can sometimes feel a bit hostile to religion, and I'm hoping to create a place that feels a bit more supportive.

If you're interested, feel free to go create a new community there. I've also gone ahead and created communities for Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, and if you're interested in modding one of those, let me know.

When we take decisions without knowing, ignorant decisions, we not only hurt ourselves, but those close to us. It's simple statistics.

I wouldn't betray a love of my family or friends by willingly endangering them for my religious believes. See, the love argument goes both ways. :P

But you can't act only when you know all the parameters, that was the sense of my love metaphor.

Some people are more happy without religion. Some other are more happy with a good religion. I do not live in America, I live in a country where religions, all religions combined, are followed by a minority of the population. So most children has no religious ties and teachings at all. A lot are happy like that, but others suffer without knowing why. Religion should be a freedom.
