I Have Something to Say

It's not necessary to believe in God to be a good person.

True, although from experience with in particular some Christians and Buddhists I definitely believe it could help people be more understanding and do good.

@wakanda4eva Unfortunately, I'd also have to include some atheists.

@Bushranger but u was talking about people that believe in God? Or Gods* based on how I interpretated it
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@wakanda4eva I'm saying that any religious belief isn't necessary, but for the sake of balance, I felt it necessary to include other atheists in your comment about being more understanding. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

@Bushranger oh yeah true, but I feel that's general knowledge across the board to never stereotype someone based on their belief, even some terrorists are good people, could have been captured as kids and forced to kill or like really believing their fighting for the greater good for their people or for their God. Also nah it's cool just wanted to understand more lol

@Bushranger love your tolerance!

@Harriet03 what's that supposed to mean
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Harriet03 Believe it or not, it comes from Buddhist teachings and practices, without the non-theist religious aspects.

@wakanda4eva I was intrigued with your comment about even terrorists can be good people. It's a view that not many people would agree with (in case you are wondering, I do agree with you).
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@Bushranger yeah I just personally believe human beings are complex beings and we should not demonize or glorarize someone (not sure if that's a real word lol) at face value.

@wakanda4eva I'm so glad to hear that. It gives me hope for the future.

@Bushranger *cut to my next comment of calling someone a sick motherfuvker for cheating and wanting to sharpen their dick with my knife without knowing the context whatsoever" xD

@wakanda4eva Just as a matter of interest, are you an American?
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@wakanda4eva Ans versatile too lol.
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@Bushranger why is that of interest to you? 🧐 and nah lol Asian country
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@wakanda4eva Your attitudes just seemed so different to those I've seen from a lot of Americans (yeah, I know, big over generalisation), so I was just interested. In case you are interested, I'm Australian.
