  1. So there have been a lot of religious posts going on. Practically nothing but, tbh. I was wondering, how many of us have changed from the religious views we where born into? Talk about where you started, where you ended up and why?

     

    I would ask that people wouldn't try to convert others in the thread, but that's still going to happen.

     

    I'll start. Born into the United Church of Canada (Christian), but when I went to a Catholic School, I actually started thinking of my own beliefs seriously. Explored westernized new age Buddhism, but found it just as constraining as Christianity. Tried my hand at a broad sort of Deism, but it still didn't feel right. Then I took a philosophy class and learned about the classic arguments for God and how bad they were. Turned into an Agnostic almost on the spot and hardened into an Atheist over a little time. Being getting more and more entrenched ever since.

    Kinda, I was born Roman Catohlic and still am to a degree. I disagree with some of the things the church teaches, but still associate with them though I probably fit under another sect of the church. I've changed my views on gay marriage and abortion. I remember when I was getting confirmed, we had to write a paper to the arch-bishop why we were against it. I too went to a Catholic school.

  2. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch"

     

    What is Pantheon getting out of this? Perhaps an exclusive rebuilding contract with SD Hmmm?

    Good ol Barriers to Entry. I've always enjoyed much early 1800 econ, but a lot of it will have some defunct theories like that of Malthus and such, but don't take my statement as to mean that they are all defunct. 

     

    Not sure, though it would be a very interesting thought.
