"In these past months I’ve felt some disconnect between me and my religion. It’s my own fault, really; life happened and I stopped reading my bible and I became too absorbed in other things in my life; stupid things I shouldn’t have bothered with. But I saw a beautiful Cathedral yesterday and instantly I was awash with peace. So here is my bible quote of the day: Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day " • Good for you, OP. 🩶 † | |||

I'm glad it brings you solace. 🤍 | |||

"I think it’s appropriate that we have a religious angle on the site, after all , Jesus was a swinger, all be it briefly, until they got the nail back in. " 😂🤣 | |||
"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. " Of course it causes harm. Sooner all religion dies out the better. | |||
"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. Of course it causes harm. Sooner all religion dies out the better. " And so you have to take a shit on someone who seems to genuinely enjoy it? You're the problem, not religion. For the record I'm not a believer or follower of any religion. | |||
"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. " very true. | |||

"Can't you people let someone have there faith, without ripping the shit out of it. Obviously it brings some comfort into life for Op....fucking shame on youse..... Mr " | |||
"Finding Santa Again In these past months I’ve felt some disconnect between me and last year's Christmas presents. It’s my own fault, really; my birthday happened and I stopped writing my new Christmas list and I became too obsessed in other nibbly snacks in my cupboard; perishable things I shouldn’t have swallowed. But I saw a beautiful hamper yesterday and instantly my trousers were awash with semen. So here is my Santa quote of the day: Rudolph 1:12 Oh, ye better watch out: ye better not cry: ye better not pout, I'm tellin' ye why: Santa Claus doth cometh to town: He maketh a list, checketh it twice: gonna find out who's naughty and nice: Santa Claus doth cometh to town: He see-eth ye when you're sleepin': He knoweth when you're awake: He knoweth if you've been bad or good: So be good, for fucks' sake. "Very funny; it made me smile and laugh on dull day... maybe this is God's work??? | |||
"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. " I’d never mock someone for their spirituality but religions… 🤨 There are religions based on similar ‘desert prophet’ style worship where every single woman on this site would be punished by death for their behaviour… Religions that would stone a woman for showing her hair in public let alone appearing unclothed in a Fab profile picture… When I stand in a cathedral I am in awe… but of the skills and abilities of the generations of craftsman, artisans and stonemasons that built them, and how the architects managed to persuade rock to span such distances and support unimaginable weight on delicate columns… | |||

Super. | |||
"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. " Exactly this. Allow people to appreciate what they appreciate and to share that love with others. You can just ignore it if it means nothing to you. | |||
"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. Of course it causes harm. Sooner all religion dies out the better. " The bad people will only then move to whatever replaces it as surely that will happen, it's never going to go away despite it's flaws and the bad within..

As Raven said above, we’ve moved on a bit… but these religions are still responsible for evil cruel behaviour in our modern age. So yes I am mocking ‘religion’… and for the fucking individual in the religious police (Mutaween) that was about to whip my 14 year old daughter for showing her wrists.. (it was hot in the shop, she had rolled up her sleeves a little, forgot as she went outside) empowered because of a stupid fucking book of made up stories and rules from two thousand years ago. | |||

"I am looking for a religion, I'm not sure which one, but open to suggestions. There must be a God, as the alternative Dawin has been peddling has proven to be a pack of lies. Evolution of the species my arse! One just needs to hear the dribble Trump says, and half the country nodding in agreement is proof enough for me. May your cats and dogs remain safe and bless you all. " 😊 Humanism maybe? Although it might be a bit of a stretch if you don’t believe in Evolution.. | |||

So when ever someone responds to a statement that is calling out the collective hate, and no-one in particular it always raises my curiosity, as to why..... And the OP is about feeling a disconnect feom religon in the recent past, and coming back to it, through the experinece of being in a cathedral.... And fair play for the op starting this thread. Despite it being a non-monogoumous sex seeking site. Mr That was a very funny joke, and if you have a problem with it, there’s also a very, very funny film called the Life Of Brian which you might want to watch and get in a froth about… whilst actively participating in non-monogamy. This has been fun. Does somebody need a consensual hug....🫂🫂🫂🫂 N’ah, not from a hypocritical god-botherer. Thanks anyway. I’d fuck your wife though 😂" Not sure where you derive hypocrisy from, but then there's no accounting for bollocks is there 🤣🤣 Now now don't covert what others have. It's one of the 10 commandments don't ya know, you need some bible study in your life 🤣🤣🤣 Anyways hugs 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 Mr | |||

"Well done everyone for completely derailing the thread... 👏👏👏 if having a faith helps a person then that's wonderful... it's no one's business but theirs... anyway OP hope you're doing ok" I would absolutely agree. The point where…….it’s no one’s business but theirs….. falls down, is when you post it on an open forum, then it ceases to become……. no one’s business but theirs. | |||

"I don't get why people have to mock it. It isn't doing you any harm. Grow up. I’d never mock someone for their spirituality but religions… 🤨 There are religions based on similar ‘desert prophet’ style worship where every single woman on this site would be punished by death for their behaviour… Religions that would stone a woman for showing her hair in public let alone appearing unclothed in a Fab profile picture… When I stand in a cathedral I am in awe… but of the skills and abilities of the generations of craftsman, artisans and stonemasons that built them, and how the architects managed to persuade rock to span such distances and support unimaginable weight on delicate columns… But yet you had to reply to Raven calling this out, and defend yourself....🤷♂️🤷♂️ why is that I wonder?. Mr Mr Don’t be ridiculous, I’m not ‘calling out’ Raven, I’m not defending myself, I’m not mocking OP, We are having a discussion. I am communicating a point of view… I’m calling out ‘Religion’. Your damn right I’m mocking 2000 year old doctrines created at a time human beings thought lightning was the result of a mysterious being in the sky that was angry with them. As Raven said above, we’ve moved on a bit… but these religions are still responsible for evil cruel behaviour in our modern age. So yes I am mocking ‘religion’… and for the fucking individual in the religious police (Mutaween) that was about to whip my 14 year old daughter for showing her wrists.. (it was hot in the shop, she had rolled up her sleeves a little, forgot as she went outside) empowered because of a stupid fucking book of made up stories and rules from two thousand years ago. Firstly I didnt say you were calling out Raven. What I said was, I'm curious as to why you felt the need to defend yourself. By stating I dont mock spirituality, but religon! After Raven made her statement. I'd argue you do mock....with the laughing emogis you commented with on the back of someone else's comment previously. If that's not joining in mockery, I don't know what is. I'm sorry that your daughter had to face that, and go through it. That's not right in any stretch of the imagination. Unfortunately religion and zeolites come hand in hand.... Mr It wasn’t a laughing emoji 🤨, I’m not mocking and I’m still struggling with the notion I’m defending myself. This forum thread has the title ‘Finding Religion’ OP went to a Cathedral and felt spiritual, quoted a biblical verse.. made a post on a sex site dedicated to non-monogamy. We are discussing ’Religion’. I was struck by the notion that someone quoting a bible was a member of this website, someone who is actively seeking sex, out of wedlock and with other men’s wives.. sex specifically condemned by the ‘rules’ of the book he quoted from, a book from 2000 years ago that has characters in it called Peter, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John… born and working in the Middle East? A main character who in all the iconography appears as a white Caucasian man but who clearly couldn’t have been… I am simply pointing out the dichotomy of bible quotes and Fab..

"In these past months I’ve felt some disconnect between me and my religion. It’s my own fault, really; life happened and I stopped reading my bible and I became too absorbed in other things in my life; stupid things I shouldn’t have bothered with. But I saw a beautiful Cathedral yesterday and instantly I was awash with peace. So here is my bible quote of the day: Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day " Good that you found what works for you. I hope you don't get too much hassle for daring to suggest you have and take value from your religion | |||

It’s phenomenal at first if you are born again or come to it as an adult, the support and adventures, new relationships etc but over time you face all kinds of tests! Although we’ all agree it is impossible to ever unbelieve! Keep in regular contact , through small groups if not big church , reading isn’t enough | |||

"Wtf....hope this is a wind up" And if its not 🤣🤣 Mr | |||
"It's not surprising religion gets lost in the mele of life, so it's commendable that you have re connected. It's like anything you have to reach a balance so you don't go to any extremes, being obsessed with religion can be just as destructive as losing it totally. Remember it's a spiritual thing not a doctrine, what you feel in your soul matters. If I listen to gospel music it lifts me when I'm down. If I hear a sermon that I relate too, it adds a logic to my life. The Bible is an instruction manual. It works for some and not for others. " And nobody ever said being a Christian (or any person of faith) was easy, especially in the modern world. John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. | |||

"I’m am not religious at all but I don’t get why people are mocking. If religion gives someone comfort or helps keep them on the straight and narrow how can that be a bad thing?" Could also mean death and destruction to someone else | |||
"I’m am not religious at all but I don’t get why people are mocking. If religion gives someone comfort or helps keep them on the straight and narrow how can that be a bad thing? Could also mean death and destruction to someone else " Yes because the OP seeing a cathedral means exactly that  | |||

"Wtf....hope this is a wind up" Why? | |||
"I’m am not religious at all but I don’t get why people are mocking. If religion gives someone comfort or helps keep them on the straight and narrow how can that be a bad thing?" Well exactly. Guess it's because people are all so friendly tolerant and open minded. They can take it up the arse from complete strangers but don't like others personal beliefs. | |||

" I have my feelings on religion having grown up around it but I would never mock someone for their beliefs. | |||
"I don't really have a problem with religion - some of the art works and music created over the centuries on that theme are truly magnificent, and we would be poorer culturally without them. The problem I do have is when zealots believe that the wishes and needs of their chosen deity have more validity than those of real human beings." The issue isn't worth religion itself. The core message of faiths such as Christianity and Islam is looking after the poor and treating your neighbour right. There's numerous people who have been influenced by these teachings to devote their life to good causes and there are numerous people who have overcome difficulties in their life (crime, addiction etc) thru faith. The issue is with greedy people taking and twisting the holy books to their own interests. | |||

| |||
Also, no one should mock others for their beliefs. It doesn't make you any bigger or more clever, it just makes you look like the intolerant hypocrites you claim religious people to be. | |||
"I hope you manage to find what you're looking for OP. I'm not religious at all but can appreciate the structure it can provide in person's life if they need it and I really hope it can help you in that regard. I like to think you don't have to have to completely be all in on it, but take the parts you find relevant and helpful to assist you on your journey
Also, no one should mock others for their beliefs. It doesn't make you any bigger or more clever, it just makes you look like the intolerant hypocrites you claim religious people to be."Yes, you’re completely right about taking parts you find relevant and helpful because that’s exactly what I do
Thank you 3 | |||
