How Many Spidertrolls is Too Many Spidertrolls?

[Fish]

I almost want to learn how to draw.
I mean I always have.
But now I'm seriously considering it.

man
faces
how do you draw them (in case it wasn't obvious, I'm making a shitty half-hour lineart)

How was I not aware that this is a thing

'Dem hips.

[bloodyEmissary]

We talking about religion?

I boil my religious beliefs down to 'Belief is irrational and pointless; don't do it.'
Not believing in anything is really hard, though. It's a constant struggle that I don't bother with 50% of the time because that 50% doesn't make a difference.

I feel the same way. It's like, "shit this makes no sense fuck it," and then you're like, "But I don't wanna rot in the ground."

YES

It took me far too long to figure this out.

You guys, I have some serious opinions on this subject. I can write some serious walls of text.

I don't really want to though.

THIS IS ALSO a good specularnaodm picture.

And uhhh... I never really believed in religion. Dunno why. Maybe because it all seems silly to me.

drawing is hard

just drawing people. it is hard. I can paint with oils and draw from reference pretty well for an amateur, but drawing, like, cartoons, it just, I can't. how do I make line??? I'm slowly getting better thanks to Homestuck making me want to draw people, but I still pretty much suck

Do it eventually. This seems interesting to me.

Edit: I have a feeling Hipsterfang avatars is going to be the newest thing for Arms.

i do my serious businessing elsewhere

[MythicalWashrag]

My opinion is:

Hey you have your religion.
Cool.
I don't.
You don't try to force your beliefs on me and I will do you the same respect.

Actually that's kind of my stance on most things.

Also arms I'll upload my WIP of it so far in a bit but it's baaaad :[

I find it pretty easy to draw terezi style drawings. Probably because I don't draw to impress people.

[*Sigh*]

I dunno, I'm a Jehovah's Witness and we try as hard as we can to back as much stuff as we can with evidence before making wild accusations. Making up stuff and being bendy about what you believe in is where 90% of American holidays and where a lot of bad doctrine came from.

My dad's the bishop of the local ward in the Mormon church.

I'm an atheist.

We got problems.

Nothing matters in the end.
Space will go on being space. Stars will explode and collapse into black holes. Tectonic plates will move. New life will crop up billions of trillions of years later on other planets.

So don't get mopey about it, enjoy life as much as you can while you can, and hope that immortality is perfected by science before you die.
Oh, and don't commit suicide. Unless there is really, seriously no possible way for you to enjoy life anymore ever. Death is nothing like falling asleep; it is like dying. You cease to be. Stop existing. Gone forever.

iiiiii am not what id consider a religious person but i do have a belief in a thing that is a religion. a lot of the time i feel that i'd make a much better agnostic, but im an idealistic person. i do believe that a correct religion can be found even if it's not really all that specific. and so i have a model of what i currently believe and change it to include whenever i learn something that contradicts it.

oh jeez

edit: yeah, even though i'm agnostic, i think it's pretty great that people have beliefs that are different from mine. no harm, no foul, right?
edit 2: i just now realized that that was not the right idiom. isugfosbgfodpdhf i am bad at the speak

[*Sigh*]

That right there is another issue. When you put one person in direct charge of teaching a whole lot of people, you're bound to come up with mistakes, prejudices, etc.

EDIT: That's not to say that individuals can't be good teachers. But you need to be kept in check and having a hierarchy does not help with that.

[Primal Zed]

I feel the same way. It's like, "shit this makes no sense fuck it," and then you're like, "But I don't wanna rot in the ground."

Yeah, the question of life after death really gets to me. Nonexistence freaks me the hell out.

edit: Damn it's late. Gonna get to sleep.

[MythicalWashrag]

So don't get mopey about it, enjoy life as much as you can while you can

Yes I keep saying this to everyone.
Because life is a nice thing and more people should be happy.

30 pages already? Why are you all so weird perfect? Where can I find that lovely banner for our thread?

[Zrcalo]

My parents are extreme conservative christians and used to flip tables over me listening to "secular" music.

I'm transsexual and have a wonderful girlfriend and people do the whole "hanging their bodies from hooks" thing in my backyard. also there is a giant butt painted onto my wall.

I love my life.

[killerlamb]

I believe that I have the same soul as Oscar Wilde. not that we are the same, but that we are made of the same stuff

to what extent is this statement ironic and to what extent is it sincere?

I don't know, but I do know that I like to tell people this when I've been drinking, and to go on at length about it. I'm really entertaining to talk to when I've been drinking. kinda like normal, but more talkative and my words are more slurred

[Doom Zero]

edit: Damn it's late. Gonna get to sleep.

The thought of dying is one that really digs into me. Makes me really really sad.
I do NOT want to think about that right before bed.

Let's just tip-toe right around that, let's get a more fun belief discussion going.

I will never commit suicide because suicide is the ultimate admission of suck. It is pronouncing to the world "I am terrible and am not getting any better, this isn't worth the effort".

And then the world says k cool and goes on without you.
