From this thread: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/50/the-writers-group/thread/458737/pony-religion
I think religion covers several bases which might be seperated in pony society.
It’s done.
I spent more time researching for “Seeking” than any other fic I’ve written. Many hours were spent referencing the Bible, learning Hebrew words, and diving down Wikipedia. Given the sensitive subject, I needed to ensure accuracy, lest I misrepresent a tradition.
Outlined in late 2020 and not finished until now, this story is a labour of love. I hope you found the story as stimulating to read as I found it to wrote.
Spoilers below the break.
Growing up in a Lutheran household (Missouri Synod, not those other Lutherans), I grew accustomed to hearing the resonant tones of the Reverand Billy Graham in the background whenever he was on the radio. We both were raised on a dairy farm, but that's about as much as our lives were similar. He went on to graduate with a degree in anthropology and then to become the greatest preacher in our time, preaching the Gospel to millions. He ministered to presidents and peasants, traveled the
No offense to Christians, but I think Heaven and Hell is just a threat to mess with one's psyche, a.k.a. state of mind. Our bodies simply turn to dust when we die. I'm more of a believer in science than religion and it's sad that many people underestimate the importance of science all the time, that they'd rather ignore facts backed by science than accept it.
(Wherein, having tackled Sex, I will now discuss something much less controversial) ;-)
So I was thinking about the issue of religion in Equestria, and beyond it on the whole planet.
There is a concept in TV Tropes called the "Flat Earth Atheist," whose article points out:
Hello, mortals; I am The Lord. Look at man. Now back to me. Now back to mankind, now back to me. Sadly, mankind is not me. But if they started obeying the commandments and keeping covenants, they could smell like they're me.
Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on the earth, with Jesus Christ as an example--the man mankind should smell like!
I was using Google n-grams to try to find out whether English speakers substituted the word "European" for "Christian" in the recent past, and this was what I found instead:
Within the last few weeks, I had a crisis of faith. I realized that some of the assertions on which I had based my faith weren't as reliable as I thought they were. After taking a closer look at what historians and textual critics had to say—and realizing that, contrary to what I may have once thought, they actually aren't just a bunch of God-hating reprobates intent on destroying religion, but rather genuine scholars who care as much about truth as any religious person does—I can no
My parents are very religious. They are a little upset I'm not very religious. I love them, but I feel if they ever found out what I do on the Internet (romantic human x MLP FIM pony fan fiction I write on fimfiction) they would be extremely upset with me.
Hey guys. How are ya'll doing? I'm... ok, I suppose. Still trying to get used to life here in Wisconsin. I started working on an original novel that I'm (hoping) to publish within the year? It's a NaNoWriMo manuscript (50k words) but messy as hell and needs a lot of work. That's one thing that's been taking up my time. I've also started trying to go on long walks again in an attempt to get healthier. Not so much exploration. My GPS on my phone was shit even in Cali, and out here I barely have
So this is actually a repost. I originally wrote this small piece on the Atheist Bronies V2.2 group, and it was for several reasons. I took a great interest in understanding belief systems and why people hold onto their beliefs, even if said beliefs are false (although it depends on what you mean by "false"). I had these
I know that this isn't the usual spot for religious talks, but I thought I'd ask a few questions about the Orthodox Church.
My first question is this:
Why does the Orthodox Church not accept the papacy? And what are your reasons/evidence for rejecting it?
Second Question:
Why does the Orthodox Church not do missionary work?
Third question:
Trigger warnings:
1. Spoilers. Many, many spoilers. Read Starscribe's Last Pony on Earth series for the rest of the context.
2. Religion, and my opinions about it.
Millions of years ago, chemicals combined to create the first single celled organisms, or so I remember from junior year biology, if I'm wrong, correct me. Well, what's the term for the belief that an incredibly powerful being combined those chemicals to start life on this planet, then left us alone more or less?
Christmas! After Thanksgiving, Christmas is the next holiday! So why do we celebrate it? Well if you look at the word, you'll notice it has the word "Christ" in it. Does that give you a hint? We celebrate Christmas because Christmas is the day that Jesus was born! Each year, we have a Christmas tradition in my family. We re-read the birth of Christ. Then we open presents. But wait! If
