smemon wrote:religion is for the mentally weak who need comfort knowing there is life after death. notice how the majority of mass going people are old. why? because they're afraid of dying.
That's scary sounds exactely like something I'd say
It's not just because they're scared of dying though it's the way the were brought up though going to mass too
You don't have to be just afraid of dying most people are too scared to think logically and face up to the truth - no body knows
What's this thread about again? Oh yeah yeah I'm terrified right now

reasons why you go to mass:
1. to make yourself feel good for doing something 'holy'.
2. to pray when you need/want something.
3. to get into heaven when you die.
4. to be socially accepted.
5. you're forced to go.
6. to show off a new car/jumper/suit/dress/shoes.
7. you have time to kill.
8. to be different
bottom line is, people think by going to mass, they'll be a better person. sort of like giving money to a beggar on the street.
reality is, they are giving in to social pressure and have been brainwashed by history/family or priests.
give me proof there is a heaven/god, i'll eat my words. however nobody can prove that :cool: people are just scared to think when we die that's it and we don't come back.
so no, im not getting nervous about the leaving results 0 -

i actually considered responding to this, point by point as "defined" above ^
but well...
im not even gonna bother :rolleyes:
Youre not religious, big deal, but.. dont diss whats important to other people smemon.
im not tryin to be a bitch here responding to you, as i may have done in teh past ( :rolleyes: ), but just.. have the balls to respect other peoples choices, and realise that maybe youre own opinions arent the "right" ones for everyone else..
if you really think those reasons you mentioned above are why people are religious and go to services, you actually appear to have the same mentality and understanding of it as a retarded toad.
"to be different" ???
i really thought you were smarter than that..
anyway.
i cant wait to walk out of the school for the last time with results in hand... ooh it'll be great.
but i think we go back in september for a graduation tea or something
ah well, my moment will still be great.
i remember walking out after the last exam, damn it felt good.0 -

:eek: I totally agree with you Rockerette!
That's ridiculous! You can't say EVERYONE goes to Mass for those reasons. That's taking generalising a bit far in my opinion.
I am not religious and I have very little time for organised religion, but you have to accept that other people believe. For whatever reasons.
And anyway I'm nervous about the results but it has nothing to do with being religious or anything. It's not logical or rational to be nervous, but then most people don't sit back and think 'Oh I'll be nervous', you just feel it and can't help it. So it's not 'stupid' to feel nervous!!0 -
