The thing I find most surprising though is that the general viewing public seems to be more terrified of an independent woman than a homosexual man. I mean I think I'm surprised, to be honest I can't really tell anymore.

Working my ass off for five years to get a bachelor's degree, graduating well mind you, with full time work experience in my field only to come into a job market like this. Where I break up with my girl-friend cause of distance (she could get a job), move back in with my parents, and have two dogs die before the end of the year. The culminating point of the depressing things, when I asked a recruiter for advice and things I could be doing better to get job he tells me "heh, you should've graduated last year."
Fast forward one year, and I'm still practicing futility. But on the plus side, I'm getting very good at it.
And Fifth, you should be proud. That was amazing.

Watching a dog die is pretty high up there. Also going to a party where there was supposed to be a trampoline and arriving there only to find that it was a youth group meeting with no trampoline. But worst of all, there was a moment when all talking stopped because two people accidentally swapped bibles and were trying to get their own PERSONALIZED bibles back.

He's a Mormon. At one point he said...
You know what I think is interesting is the difference between the LDS church and other minority groups who has had their rights trampled on.
How many black people think the world owes them something because their ancestors of long ago were once slaves in this land?
But I have never heard current members of the church call for any sort reimbursement for the extermination order or the genocide that was committed against their ancestors.
Now lets compare that to how gay people reacted to the outcome of the vote on Prop 8. And all the LDS church really did did was campaign, it was the California citizens that voted.
Huge difference in the maturity level.AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH

I wish I could just let loose with a totally tactless tirade against dogmatic belief systems and prevalent religious sentiments but I guess this is the internet and I don't want to be a total douche hat ass bag.
I wonder if its going too far to admit that I've discriminated against the mormon church for a long time now. Not as long as I've discriminated against catholicism or christianity in general, but its definitely a bit more directed.
Having grown up in a Mormon family I feel I've earned the right to be prejudiced against them.

One time I was trying to talk sense into a friend who wanted to kick all people of color out of the country. It was one of these heartfelt conversations you have at about three in the morning lying in your beds. He said that we could be friends as long as we didn't talk about politics. So then I couldn't say anything for like fifteen minutes. At last, in a voice that I thought seemed very small against the darkness of the night, I said I thought we were better friends than that. But he was sleeping.
Probably more tragic than depressing. I don't know anything that's depressing.

When the fuck were Mormons ever exterminated? Jews were exterminated. Christians were exterminated if you go far back enough. Catholics and Protestants are still being exterminated (in Ireland). Mormons? Not so much, from what I know. Unless he's tracing all the way back to before the Great Schism, when all of Christianity was one unit, but that's a piss-poor argument.
There was some extermination order issued in Missouri, IIRC, but nothing actually came of it. There was a place where just under twenty Mormons were killed, and they like to say it was because of that order, but evidence shows that it had nothing to do with the order, which had just barely been issued.

Also, you seem to have edited it out, but I cited the Great Schism for background. The last concerted effort to kill people he can trace his faith back to is during Roman rule, Missouri's unimplemented extermination order aside.

Surely the example to use is the Counter Reformation/30 years war etc. And if we going Roman related, Roman persecution stopped with Constantine in the 4th century a good 700 years before the Schism.

I should say though that homosexuality is a really interestingquestion in eolution science-the best arguments so far itisthat it is a very complex mixed of social/geneticinterplay based on promoting and suppressing various sexual groupings in society- like rises of homosexuality can be linked to increases in female fecundity and in theright situations it can provide very useful advantages.

It can be confusing to accept the legitimacy of some issues without also feeling like you are accepting certain values that might appear to be related. Gay marriage laws are actually a good example of this. I mean, thinking gay marriage should be allowed isn't the same thing as accepting homosexuality as a 'moral' practice, if it is your belife that it is not. These are in reality two seperate issues that are easy to confuse, and that confusion is, frankly, easy to manipulate.

When I got tricked into going to sunday school (I was told there would be crafts, and games, and fun! but no mention of god anywhere in the promotional material) I was quite uncomfortable and felt very out of my element, and actually sort of unwelcome. It's ALWAYS been that way for me.
To add perspective to that little story I am, and believe I always have been an atheist, despite growing up in an open minded household

People are religious by default because their parents make it a point to engender religious sentiments and doctrine in their upbringing. If you lacked that particular concerted effort in your upbringing then its no wonder you wouldn't feel inclined to be religious.
Like my parents were your average "yeah I'm a Christian" types. They didn't really go much deeper than that pretty basic admission. My mom eventually got crazied up with the Jehova's Witnesses, but by that point I'd come to the logical conclusion that it was all a bunch of nonsense.
If your parents shove a particular religion down your throat from day one and everyone you interact with shares the same basic beliefs, you're not going to question it until its too late and you're hopelessly inured of the system.

I didn't mean to imply that my lack of religious belief was some magic counter to whatever was said earlier. 80% of people being religious is probably accurate. I simply don't think that that 80% automatically indicates that all human beings are biologically hardwired to believe in the great architect. I think it means that, as social creatures, we tend to do things in social groups, and religion is something that most people can get on board with in one way or another.

To simplify:
You are born

People are religious by default because their parents make it a point to engender religious sentiments and doctrine in their upbringing.
Despite the same word choice of 'default', you sound like you're making two arguments here. In the first quote, you make it seem like a purely natural thing that people are religious, and that if not indoctrined with religious beliefs would default towards some sort of religious leanings, which I don't actually know if any sort of testing has ever been done on it or not; seems likely that it hasn't been tested, since it's pretty impossible to test something like that. The second is arguing that living in a modern society it's hard to not be religious because religion has pervaded every aspect of our lives, which I do agree on. The second actually explains what the hell you meant in the first statement too, which you should really focus on doing next time because I was originally just going to post arguing that point. :p

There's a fine line between being a good Christian and just being 'a Christian'. One's behavior patterns being out of line with religous ideals/practices doesn't mean they believe any less; those are two entirely seperate issues.
It can be confusing to accept the legitimacy of some issues without also feeling like you are accepting certain values that might appear to be related. Gay marriage laws are actually a good example of this. I mean, thinking gay marriage should be allowed isn't the same thing as accepting homosexuality as a 'moral' practice, if it is your belife that it is not. These are in reality two seperate issues that are easy to confuse, and that confusion is, frankly, easy to manipulate.
And to take that a step further, it's hard to even say you support gay rights without being assumed a homosexual yourself. Typically that's by the people who don't support the idea that do this (As it helps them rationalize weakening my argument if I am what I'm supporting, since it shows bias and therefore my logic can't be true), but it's also caused some awkward conversations with my friends when I had to tell them to stop making advances >.>
EDIT: Goddammit majorly ninja'd. *Catches up*

(Also it was never directly implied by me that the default nature of human religious belief in modern times was due to anything innate or biological. As you clearly state, you made the assumption based on your own predisposed thought patterns and prejudice. I merely stated the being religious was the default nature of humans, I didn't explain precisely why that was until my second post, before which someone else had pretty much made the same assumption as you.

I really didn't expect to spawn that kind of debate. For what it's worth, there was a chart that showed church attendance by state and scrolling down it showed numbers hovering around 40%, so on average, a bit less than half of all religious people actually practice the way they're supposed to.
Which actually surprised me, because I thought it would be lower than that.
Anyway, religion can be hand-waved by people needing an explanation for the world and how it works. Science as we know it is a very recent development. Most of what we know was discovered in the past 100 years, or at least wasn't able to be applied until then. That why there are creation myths around the world. Humans just aren't satisfied not knowing stuff, so eventually someone is going to provide an answer.
In less pessimistic terms, the power of belief can do great things. A simple example is the placebo effect, which can also be reversed, believe it or not. It's documented that people will also get sick if they think they're sick. Your physical health itself is linked to something as simple as your thoughts. Positive beliefs have also been linked to financial success, better mental performance, and even influencing things we'd normally attribute to luck. Religion provides a support network that can aid you in that and a higher power to believe in that, at the very least, provides you with an anchor to believe in. As long as you have that higher power, you have something to put faith into so you can believe things will get better if you do the right things, which generally aren't all that terrible and benefit society AND can help your own mental state.
Really, for the most part, religion is win/win. The only time it stumbles is when someone in a leadership role gets an agenda and leads people astray.

I'm sorry, but when all you say is "People are religious by default" you can't call everyone that doesn't grasp exactly what you meant prejudice. That's completely unfair. And even if I had known in the first place you were an atheist and made the assumption you think I should have based on that, that would be prejudice since I'd be jumping to that based on what I know of you as a person.
As it is, you presented a very simple statement that could have been taken any number of ways, and it's no-ones fault but your own for being unclear that it was taken the wrong way.

In that vein, spending hours and hours following a tutorial to do some nifty thing for a project only to have the tutorial go "Next use this awesome, expensive plugin that doesn't come with After Effects that you don't have, and this step is incredibly important to the final result of this tutorial."
I wanted to cry.

I've had that happen for both homework and quizzes.

Most depressing thing I've ever done? My continued existence, of course.

I'm sorry, but when all you say is "People are religious by default" you can't call everyone that doesn't grasp exactly what you meant prejudice. That's completely unfair. And even if I had known in the first place you were an atheist and made the assumption you think I should have based on that, that would be prejudice since I'd be jumping to that based on what I know of you as a person.
As it is, you presented a very simple statement that could have been taken any number of ways, and it's no-ones fault but your own for being unclear that it was taken the wrong way.
You just mad cuz' you bad.

You're just upset because you cannot properly articulate your beliefs.

Considering I posted that yesterday? Yes. Exactly.
I went back in time so as to wait three days for you to reply.

Ah so it was only one day of chomping at the bit waiting for sweet, sweet internet revenge for the trespass of awkward wording to simplistic ideals.
Was it the snowflake comment? I bet it was the snowflake comment.

HOLY SHIT FUNKA THAT WAS FAST.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN SITTING THERE WAITING FOR ME TO REPLY.
IT'S NOT LIKE SHEER COINCIDENCE COULD ALLOW YOU TO SEE THAT POST SO QUICKLY.
I'M TRYING TO IMPLY SOMETHING, BY THE WAY.

That's really not fair either, since apparently it's only when I use capital letters do you pay attention.

Things that are not depressing: Refusing to read quotes by funka and having him on your ignore list, makes Grthwllms posts reach an added level of hilarity.
On topic, most depressing thing I've ever done- I tried to think of something in particular to add to this thread yesterday. After a few minutes of thinking, I had to put my head down and cry because of all the difficulty in choosing.
I'm going to go with calling and getting my aunt's disability cut off to make good on a threat.
A couple things that aren't the most depressing but pretty depressing...
1. Read a thing about conservative homosexuals. It's incredibly depressing, and made even more depressing from the knowledge that they wouldn't be all that much better off siding with the democrats...
2. Whenever I see members of the homosexual community defending homophobia or talking about what sort of homosexual expression is "okay" I die a little on the inside.
