/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

Pretty atheist. In the idgaf sense.

>>2118

I have not been raises religiously, therefore I do not support religion as an institution. I do however support religion if it is used as a unification tool by the state. Also, I do think spiritualism and occultism is beneficial.

The anti jew one

>>2118
Really? On paper I'm paper I'm Serbian Orthodox, but that's more a family tradition type thing.

>>2136
>On paper I'm paper
Lol, what how did I fuck that up?

>>2118
Not a big religious man and I kinda dislike the idea but if I had to identify I'd say I follow the Orthodox traditions. I do think people need some sort of spirituality/belief to grasp on if they need to.
Also OP be careful with this topic shills can really easy derail and people would start arguing even by themselves.

>>2136
Nice, I'm Greek Orthodox. I went to a Serbian church one though and I was impressed, the language is very beautiful for chanting.
>>2145
Isn't the whole point of a politics forum for people to argue about politics?

Raised in what I believe to be prodestant Christian church, has been and remains a fairly conservative church family/group over the last decade and a half but the liberal church just down the road has a much bigger congregation sadly.

I wouldn't say I'm actively practicing but if I was I'd be a horrible fucking christian so I don't like to label myself as one.
I do still try to hold fairly Christian stances from a cultural standpoint.

>>2118
Why do we have to have this shit. This is what destroyed /pol/. There is no need to define mlpol as one religion or another. There is not need to straw poll us and give %.
Considering the donkey cock contingent then an honorary god has to be Equus, as double the pleasure, double the fun.

Agnostic here

but I don't care what you are. I just don't like Islam.

>>2180
Would you rather I have worded it "what religions do the various denizens of /mlpol/ practice?"

>>2166
Because this isn't all that much politics. It more ideals, of course is included but we are here united under NatSoc and cartoon horses. I'm just concerned because at 8/pol/ we had this problem, there was a bit of in fighting between Christians, Pagans and Atheists. Although /christian/ probably started it and shills fueled it.

>>2184
Actually yes. It sounds less preachy. The original title is too similar to the data collection questions on pol

>>2190
Fuck my English right up fam why dont you.

Atheist. There wasn't really anything in post-socialist East Germany to believe in.

I still occasionally have thoughts about morale, but less so about spirituality.

>>2118
Atheist Kek-larper here.
I wasn't brought up into any religion, but sometimes I enjoy reading other people's theologies to see if I can learn something from them.

I'm agnostic.
I was raised by a Christian family and went to church every Sunday though.

Now I just worship the Sunbutt

I'm agnostic, raised by an atheist father and spiritualist mother, but I also might as well be apatheist, as in I think we cannot be certain about a god or gods existing, but I also believe that if god/the creator does exist then they aren't like we describe them in our religious texts, and in the end, I don't really care about it. I do appreciate the moral standards brought by Christianity, but I'm also glad people decided to conveniently forget about the more crazy parts of the bible.

Another athiest here, but I know Christianity is important to /pol/ society.

>>2118
the only christfags i'll enjoy rubbing shoulders with are those wholeheartedly defined in the pic.
too much """"nice christians"""" have already been complicit in destroying the planet

Agnostic here. I don't like making decisions without a substantial amount of evidence backing it up and something as huge as the creation of the fucking observable universe requires quite a fucking lot to convince me. While I don't see any evidence of a God I also don't see any evidence of there not being one so I'll remain a fence sitter on this particular issue. I do however acknowledge how important Christianity is to European society and I welcome the integration of it into the future white utopia. Just don't burn me for being a heretic at first, I'll convert if it comes to that

>>2180
I like you Japanon! We're too small to worry too much about having a "/mlpol/ religion" right now. As long as you're not Jewish.

Anyway to answer OP's question, agnostic. Never raised with religion.

I'm Catholic, I need the sacrament of Reconciliation to put my soul at ease for all the fucked up sinning I've done. Sloth just fucks my shit up fam.

Protestant.
Plz dont shoah me

>>2118
I was raised as baptist and do believe in God but I am not sure about a the christian God itself. I believe in an almighty power that created everything and a benevolent one at that and have often thought about the overall essence of my belief. I carry around the morals imbued in me by Christianity and really don't like jews and muslims but don't consider myself christian.

Roman catholic

I was raised as a Christian Methodist, then when i was a young teenager I renounced my faith and ""converted"" to LaVeyan Satanism (Basically Athiesim with Satanic Rituals for keks) because it was edgy and cool at the time and this girl I was with was into it. Teenagers right? I've Also been very fond of Paganism but never understood the modern practice.

Now I'm more or less Agnostic but I see Modern religion as a good guideline for life since most practice the same core tenants. Though I do find the company of Christians preferable to most others.

You people need some based Pastor Steven Anderson in your lives.

>>2190
The thing is we're not necessarily supposed to be an ideologically united board, this is supposed to be a board for political discussion. Obviously the demographic here tends to skew pretty right wing but that doesn't necessarily mean it should be assumed that we're all NatSoc or extremely far right and anyone who isn't is a shill. AnCap and Libertarian philosophies have always been traditionally popular on /pol/, and there's probably quite a few people from the /mlp/ side who haven't made up their minds on any of it yet. Really I think even if we got a leftist in here we should ideally try to have a civil conversation unless they're being an obnoxious twat or are part of a shill invasion.

Anyway, discussions about religion are usually tied to ethics and philosophy, which I've always found to be an interesting subject of debate on /pol/ if you can get a good thread going without a bunch of shills and retards posting awoos and garbage memes all over the place.

>>5264
Also, for myself I wasn't raised Christian exactly, but my Mom started taking me to church when I was about 10 and I was into it for a while, then entered my fedora tipper phase when I was 17. I've since grown out of it, but I never really returned to church, I just have a hard time actually believing in any of it.

I do think it instills good values and creates community bonds though; if I ever have a family I would probably find a church for us to join just so my kids would have that influence in their lives growing up.

Christ-chan is a cute CUTE

>>5267
Whore.

>>5268
DLET THAT RN

I think believing in gods is a way to divert your mental and physical energy into nothing whilst feeling like you have done something.
I think the feeling of a god/ess above us is just a hang over of childhood and having parents protect you. And wanting that to last.
I liked Kek because there was no debate (or killing) about his reality.. the same now applies to Celestia.
Praising the sun seems logical to me, it is literally life, the energy for life to exist. But by praise I mean thankfulness.

>>5284
I reposted after my typo >>5285

Praise Sunbutt!

>>2118
Christian background, although I get most of my spirituality from my dad, and from seeing God at work.

For example:

I watched Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell when I was younger, and I gained a desire to learn about human psychology and geo-politics from that.

When MLP entered my life…"Wonderbolt Academy" came out the week I went to basic. "The Cutie Map" came out while I was in South Korea. "Make New Friends but Keep Discord" came out the same day I tried playing Warhammer 40k.

The one time I go to 4chan is because of a single post on derpibooru leading me to /mlpol/…and now I'm here, a member of a small community of intelligent, somewhat similarly minded people.

It's these little things that convince me some higher power exists. There is an apt quote I am reminded of when these things happen: "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time it's enemy action."

But that's just me. Nobody else has to believe in the sky hoers that clearly knows where my life is going. I'm friends with people of all backgrounds/religions/walks of life.

tl;dr
I think a sky dude exists, and he's into cartoon horses.

>>5324
>The one time I go to 4chan is because of a single post on derpibooru leading me to /mlpol/

So you are neither /mlp/ nor /pol/ interesting…

>>5331
How did going on pol lead you here?
I have no way of describing this board. The pol part talk without the troublesome elements (accept me) and the ponies get on with their normal stuff. It makes for a more colourful board without the hate bait. As no global rules it also means if you want to write about something just do it and see if any one else is interested. Very comfortable.

>>5332
Did /pol/ not accept you? I from /pol/ and I thought we always loved GLORIOUS NIPPON.
Whitu pigu go home

>>5354
I have a habit of getting banned on pol. It is cesspool anyway. I am on a ban at the moment and plan to get banned again. It is better for my healthy to avoid its heroin.

>>5357
Kamikaze Bans good ol' Japan

>>5357
I just went there for the first time in a week. Saw two nigger dicks and got into an argument with the autistic Russian that thinks all Americans are mixed. He was claiming celtic heritage lol

>>5331
We're /mlp/ without restrictions combined with a much less edgy version of /pol/.
Traffic is slow and our community is young but if you're into political discussion and friendship, please join us.
>>5357
Been getting banned also as of late. Most recent, I tried dropping hints of /mlpol/'s existence and I think a mod spotted me.

>>5361
Well don`t we all have a bit of rapacious Celt in us.

>>5362
I am only from /pol/ I just ignore the horse pussy and enjoy the more amiable attitude everyone has.
>>5364
Celts did get around

>>5331
Pretty much.

The culture of 4chan is easy to assimilate and imitate, although I usually choose not to. I think this board is above that.

I mean, let's look at typical board culture on 4chan:
>Create thread
>OP is responded to by Anon1
>OP is called faggot by Anon2
>Anon2 brings friends to troll OP
>Thread derailed
>Anon1 and OP become frustrated, demand another board/raid another board
>Cycle repeats

This is literally how we got here. I hope we stay with the first two parts of the cycle, and dodge the rest.

>>5365
Rape and pillage used to be a big part of war.

>>5366
I have a feeling this time will be different.
The admin is quite active in responding to our queries and that's probably the crucial ingredient in keeping a board healthy

>>2118
Atheist

>>5368
An upstanding employee if I do so say myself

>>5366
Oh, I should clarify:

The Derpibooru post that sent me here was from April 1st. I saw the tail end (haha) of the original /mlpol/. It was truly a glorious place. Unfortunately, I couldn't post into "Everyone get in here" thread - it was already frozen.

>>2118
i'm agnostic

>>5372
We've been on a long journey since then, friend.
You should have a look at the /mlpol/ history thread and the cultural learning thread to catch up on all the shenanigans. They're somewhere in the catalogue.

>>5374
They should include my honorary ban here thanks to the nice admins.

>>5369
Oh, I'm sure that it will be different here. Firstly, this isn't 4chan - the mod is literally one of us. Secondly, while people still want to "raid 4chan" for silly reasons, most everyone here is happy with the board itself. It could be faster, but…what can you do? More people will show up, eventually.

Watching this board grow is…inspiring? Awesome? I don't really have a word to describe how I feel about watching this board live. It just reminds me of how I felt when I first saw /mlpol/, and how much potential I read in every post. It was a liberated place, free from the negativity of 4chan.

This website is truly the second coming of /mlpol/.

>>5374
Oh, I've been here the whole time. I'm working 12s, currently, so I can't post much, but…

I was there.

>>5376
I remember it like it was yesterday

>>5376
Plus if you look at pol now it is truly awful. It has gone further down hill since the 1st and it was a dirge long before that. I am old guard so I remember when 4chan was purely underage boys and groomers. I spent more time on other chans accept for the regular inter-chan raids. Then everyone seemed to grow up a bit in the last few years but last year it lost it completely.

>>5375
Was that you? I think it could be included.
When I find the time I'm actually hoping to sift through everything and construct an origins story to post up on here. Like the Bayeux Tapestry in a way.
These past 11 days have had some really important moments that could be lost to time if not properly recorded. We dont have an archive yet so it's even more urgent.
>>5376
Agreed, I haven't felt this way about a board… ever. Even when I first washed up on /pol/ years ago, I didn't feel the same way I do now.
>>5380
Agreed, the cultural shift during the election cycle turned /pol/ into something unrecognisable. I think a lot of us here view this board as sorta like a precious gem or pearl. If this board were to go the same way, I think I might give up on imageboards as a lot of /qa/ folks seem to have done.

>>5378
It almost was just yesterday! It's only been 10 days or so…

/)

>>5380
I wouldn't know how /pol/ was before. All I know is that I peeked in after /mlpol/ and…I understood why people had to leave that place. It is pure cancer - even a complete outsider could see that.

>>5377
Also, checked. Or is checking yourself wrecking yourself? I don't know how that works.

>>5383
Did you know that the Bayeux Tapestry was stitched in Essex, England. Big disputes about ownership amongst academics. Yes the ban was me. I think they had already tested amongst themselves but it is good to make sure as being able to ban is a necessity sometimes.

>>5390
Going through as many relevant threads as I can right now screencapping info.
I read that someone was sliding threads yesterday so I'm paranoid

>>5385

I haven't seen a consensus emerge on Checking yet. I'd like to propose tho that Kek and his chaos has delivered as promised a new dawn symbolised by CeletiRa. So… praise Celestia.

>>5405
Kek is a false god… he is a chaos god, a god of destruction, not of order as fascism dictates. Being a chaos god, he is not necessarily good or evil… he treads the line, but is more of a balancing force than a force of good. That said, I would say that the satanic connotations lead me to believe that there is a bias towards evil. At the very least, pure chaos, which is intrinsically undesireable, whatever misconceptions you may have about it. It's not something we should aspire to. Perfect chaos has no life.

Checking is real, and not necessarily the domain of Kek. It is merely a way the Immaterium (to further appropriate WH40k terms, since they are oddly appropriate… you could also call it perhaps "quantum fluctuations", the realm of souls, the field of souls, w/e, I'd say it deffo exists and quantum mechanics are proof of it) ebbs and flows. They are a tool of mass movement, coincidences aligning themselves at moments of truly great will.

I honestly just await the return of our saviour, Jesus Christ, as foretold. Kek might in fact be the antichrist… even my failure to fully hate him, despite the connotations of satanism. Heck, I'd say Kek actually fits some antichrist prophecies already, in part. The one I'm most worried about is one that I can't find right now (tiny bit of a hurry) that states that we shan't know the antichrist until everyone.. uh.. adores him? can't recall exactly, maybe someone else can help. That's why I'm worried about the fact that even those who know the satanic implications are still tolerant to this potential Chaos God, this potential Antichrist.

>>2118
Protestant christian here

But tbh anyone can believe whatever they want, so long as what they believe is what they believe should be the best for them.

>>5490
What I see is essentially another way of saying the forth turning. Kek is simply the entropy that continually builds up in any system until that system fails. Death and revolutions are two types of this. Kek is just a anthropomorphisation of this natural occurrence of endings and renewal.

I think dubs etc are interesting, there are posts where they are in overwhelming numbers and often important posts. But I also think that most people on a board are pro the boards ideology and so statistically are going to catch more dubs etc.

Having said all that, Kek, dubs etc are great morale boosters and so I support them as a cultural benefit.

Praise Celestia, light bringer!

>>5646
>Kek is just a anthropomorphisation of this natural occurrence of endings and renewal.
It is more than just that, I would argue; it is a sentient being in of itself, a result of… egh, I'll call it the information field. Just saying Kek is "simply the entropy" does not adequately describe what is happening.

>Praise Celestia, light bringer!

Praise Christo-Zalmoxis, Son of God, God on Earth, bringer of light and judgement. Praise Celestia, one of God's appointed monarchs over Equestria.

Geeze that felt autistic to write.

>>2118
Pretty solid in the Atheist camp, but I am an ally to the traditional Christians, Catholics most of all.

>>2118
Catholic, forever and always. I don't know what the hell the pope is doing, but I hope he stops.

>>5911
Join us, we got millennia of theology and shit

Greek orthodox - but not really a practicing one any more. Kind of like an eye-rolling Greek Orthodox.
1 Grandfather and 2 uncles were/are priests though.

>>5839
>Kek: it is a sentient being in of itself, a result of… egh, I'll call it the information field.

I think this will turn out very true. I think the brain, being electrical, produces very weak broadcasts, so we do produce a very weak literal information field. This would especially apply in high density areas and could be a part of the problem cities develop.

This is an interesting talk but it helps to be familiar with the history of Remote Viewing.

Another atheist. I guess I was full on fedora for a while, but have relaxed quite a bit now. I like what Sam Harris is doing talking about "spirituality" as something that can be useful, giving a sense of purpose and tell us something about how the mind works, without one having to accept all the crazy woo-woo stuff.

Too bad he's gone full Russia conspiratard now.

Born and raised Anglican > Atheist > Baptist > Occultist

>>5405
I like the checks, dubs/trips/quads/quints for Kek, 88 for Hitler, and palindromes for Thoth

>>5490
Kek is chaos, yes. But light is born of chaos.

>>5839
I think the word you're looking for is egregore, a thoughtform brought into being by the focused will of many.

>>6531
Clarifying because I'm a dopey cunt. Kek is not just a thoughtform.

No faith in any religion, though I considered joining the Church of the Subgenius for silliness sake. I think a lot of organized religions have a beneficial effect, in regards to followers who seek to help help people and communities around them. The proselytizing can get annoying though, especially from a follower that just can't take no for an answer.

Orthodoxy or Death

Atheists BTFO. Easter weekend bump.

>>8170
My Grand dad was a baptist minister on my mothers side. My fathers side were also baptists and church organ players. My parents took me to church until I was old enough to stay at home. I then refused, my sister refused and my brother refused. My parents gave up being baptists as well in the end and started going on nature walks instead. Somehow in my family that 60% appears to be to high.

>>8512
Still love Easter though but mainly for the chocolates.

>>2118
Obligatory.

>>8514
I think your hard drive is bigger than your country. You have an extensive picture collection. I would turn it into a book and sell in on amazon. Quite easy to do as well.

>>8515
Nah fam my meme folder is only 503 items, 171.3 MB

>>8508
Surprise surprise, people tend to assimilate into the majority. The exceptions are those that are culturally separate in some way.

>>8585
The strongest ones seem to be the ones with the most tradition and ritual attached. It's the 50 shades of Baptist and such that seems to struggle with retention. People when they want a religion seem to want all the trappings it comes with. Personally I got tired of cookie cutter nu churches with no particular dogma or differences no matter what version of non Catholic they were.
