MODERATORS
 

I'm curious how much of the traffic here is people with religious beliefs.

There's no rule against it. I just want to understand better. I'm not interested in debating or criticizing anyone's choice to visit the comm or practice religion.

My questions:

  • Do you practice or otherwise hold some sort of faith? What kind? Is there a comm for it?

  • What are your thoughts on this (c/Atheism) comm? Do you visit because threads appear on your front page, or do you subscribe/visit intentionally? Why do you click on the topics / what kinds of topics do you click on?

  • Do you comment when you read threads here, or are you more of a lurker?

  • Is there anything you would like to express to the members of this community?

Thank you in advance for any responses.

I was raised in the Mormon religion. I am also bisexual so I left that poison behind long ago. It was so long ago that I now consider myself Mormon again, but this time I define what it means to have a Mormon heritage. I hate the church associated with my ethnic identity but I am far from the only one with such a journey. Basically, nobody gets to tell me who I am except me.

Thank you for your input! I've seen some Mormon friends go through similar struggles. All I can say on the matter, is best of luck in leading a life that is significant and meaningful to you personally. I'm trying to stay pretty neutral here but I do have a profound respect for self-agency.
