That might work in your country, but there isn’t some non-religious version here that’s popular. They also don’t advertise as religious at all, just the nature aspects. Religion wasn’t mentioned in the organization a single time until I was already in for… 6 or 7 years maybe?
Hahaha okay buddy
Lol care to elaborate
Spiritual and meditated would fall into that some kind of belief thing for me. Saying I was spiritual in any facet would still be me lying to them, and I was just as stubborn then as I am now haha
There definitely is a right way. I hope your faith is on the right side…
It was also forced into some kind of rehab my buddy had to go to (court ordered after being caught with weed years ago). He took WAY longer than he should’ve because he’s very stubborn, and said he doesn’t need god to not need vices. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This exactly. When going up ranks, it was the smallest topic. “Yeah, god, great guy”, the leaders chuckled, we moved on.
The Scout Law - “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and REVERANT.”
Also the scout oath: “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;…”
Please do atheism and agnostics next. I finished all the way up to doing my eagle project, all I had left was to finish some paper work and I would have gotten my eagle. I quit right about then, because what was the point? They were just going to take it away from me later for not believing in some magic book, I wouldn’t be the first they did it too. Absolutely ridiculous.
Edit: Any magic book** they don’t even discriminate against other religions is the part that drives me even crazier. You just NEED to believe in one.
Ah, fair! I only very recently started learning some Japanese, so beyond hiragana and katakana, I recognize basically nothing. I absolutely wouldn’t be able to recognize the others as Cantonese!
It’s Japanese not Mandarin too. I see うなぎ - unagi, which is definitely Hiragana
Edit: Now that I think about it though, Unagi is written in katakana I think? ウナギ, so maybe it is Chinese and they just poorly tried to translate
Remember in school when they made a big deal about the order of operations? This is why. It’s not clear as to why, as you’re not seeing the entire picture though, just some numbers.
For music, I listen to a whole lot of really small artists. They make jackshit off of Spotify (like it’s notable income, but they’re not rich or anything from it). I just try and buy tshirts and whatever merch to support groups I like, think it works out better that way
Yeah I was about to say, I quit smoking like 10 years ago. Then due to stressful situations and poor decisions making skills, I began vaping (I want to quit, fuck past me). I 100% know for a fact my lungs are way worse than before. Not as bad as when I was smoking a pack and a half a day, but I play guitar and sing often. It’s noticable.
This is why I always say “I’ll try to remember.” That way I can hit them with a “SON OF A BITCH I FORGOT!”. Then both parties can agree I suck and we continue doing what we were doing.
It definitely took me a minute in this context, I was very “what the actual fuck” at first.
Lol idk if you’re just rolling with the meme but yeah it would be used as a compliment, but it’s unfortunately a very unintended double entendre here. I think the other meaning came from a peg board, and it’s like a “I would have placed you…” thought. “I would have pegged you as burger kind of guy” for example, if someone orders a salad at a restaurant and you were surprised by that choice.
Well, the number I’ve met who are both is 2. Which is way too many. 3 if you count the guy who caught the local park’s amphitheater on fire as well
Some of the best fire starters (and unfortunately multiple arsons) I’ve met were fire fighters
I know people who have been kicked out for being an atheist, they didn’t really care to ask any of the questions you’re suggesting at the time. All they asked was if he believed in any higher powers and he said no. I wouldn’t say he was wrong, I don’t think science is a “higher power”.
