So, I'm a Buddhist now.

all jokes are an afront to god but no really do you not thitnk what you said before the video was offensive

[Despanan]

Of course it was offensive, that's why I fucking said it.

I was playing along with the concept of "competitive spirituality" as presented in the video. I can't believe you took it seriously as it was so over-the-top and ridiculous.

I thought you guys would pick up on that. Dude says right in the video that "being ultra spiritual" makes you a better person than others and that's why you want to do it.

[Agent]

so you are lying about beign a buddhist

[Despanan]

No, just poking fun at myself for being all "Ultra-Spiritual".

[Agent]

that wasnt the part i was tlking about before dont make assumptions

[Despanan]

What was the part you were talking about? What exactly do you find offensive?

[Agent]

Just the idea that religion would be universally beneficial. I don't agree with that. I think you're extrapolating too much from personal experience. I don't think you should push it on other people like that.

"Just the idea that religion would be universally beneficial. I don't agree with that. I think you're extrapolating too much from personal experience. I don't think you should push it on other people like that."

I'm not saying religion would be universally beneficial, I'm saying FAITH has the potential to be universally beneficial. There are definite benefits to joining a religious organization as well, but that depends on your goals and the organization in question.

I'm not pushing anything on you Agent, anymore than I would be pushing exercise on you if I talked about the material benefits of exercise.

You asked a question, I answered - don't play this like I'm witnessing to you or doing anything other than talking about my experience. If you're scared or offended by what I think - don't ask, and don't play this passive-aggressive bullshit. You are a grown-ass man.

I don't think faith is really the word you should be using then, because you are not using it in a way that makes any sense. Faith is not a verb.

Anyway, I asked because you said you got a benefit from it because were unlike the vast majority of people, but then turned around and said it would benefit everyone. That does not follow. It's like saying that wellbutrin treated your depression so 100% of the population would benefit from taking it.
