Hello.

May I kindly ask if there any rules I should adhere to in order to ensure what I post here would be acceptable?

Thank you for your time.

What a strange question.

Anything goes, my friend, as long as you don't post something totally irrelevant to the discussion or refer to Chinese folk religion as 'Taoism', which it isn't.  tongue.gif

Are you certain? Including questions that an atheist will most likely ask?

Yes, absolutely.

Go right ahead; I'm all ears.

1) What's the difference between a person who believes in the Chinese folk religion and a person who does not?

2) Should your answer is "no difference" for question #1, why then, would it be necessary for you to be a follower of the folk religion as opposed to those who don't?

1. A person who believes in the Chinese folk religion is one who believes in the Chinese folk religion. A person who does not believe in the Chinese folk religion is one who does not believe in the Chinese folk religion. The distinction isn't hard to make; it's self-explanatory. tongue.gif

2. My answer to question #1 is not 'no difference', so question #2 is moot.

Anything else?

Yes. I'm afraid I may have misphrased my questions.

Let me rephrase those questions again.

1) As opposed to the other religions in the world, why did you choose yours?

2) Why not choose the other religions as well, or the absence of it?

1. I love ancient Chinese mythology, classic Chinese ghost stories, theatrics, cosplay and gallows humour. My religion contains all of these great elements and so much more, including granting its devotees the opportunity to meet-and-greet its deities. No other religion, with the possible exception of Haitian Vodou, allows for such personal and frequent deity-devotee interaction. It's awesome.

2. The other religions don't contain any of the aforementioned aspects that appeal to me. As for the absence of religion, that strikes me as dull and boring. I find it much more fun to believe in magic and mystery. biggrin.gif

I applaud at your honesty of answering the questions. I used to be a Christian before I am an atheist, and you have no idea how it felt when you were with a religion that threatens you to go to hell when you do not believe in it.

I like this guy's course.

He presents and analyses myths in a very easily accessible, entertaining and inoffensive manner.

The animation accompanying his talks is adorable and smile-inducing.

I admit, even as an atheist, I enjoy mythology.

As long they don't try to create a religion around it (but let's not debate about that here, lol).

We cannot judge TS on how his personal life is BUT one thing for sure, you are such an idiot for condemning him on this thread. 

If you have nothing to contribute here , Get a life please.

Erm, but it's quite disturbing to actually know what kind of person he is now.

I hope Nachtsider comes back to share more info on Sintua, situation might be rough for him but hey everyone makes mistake. So do give him a chance.  wink.gif

I don't it's a mere "mistake" as it seems. Some of the posts that he made did sound like pure arrogance.

Give him some time & space , he will be back.

It's not about whether he comes back or not. It's about how even if he comes back, I'm not sure I can look at him in the same way, after knowing what he did.
