Do you think America is equal when it comes to equality among people?

[KcMSean]

I'd say America is better off than a lot of places, but to think that anywhere on this planet is truly equal is a stretch..there's gonna be inequality no matter where you look. We are moving towards better times, but you're not gonna completely get rid of it, we'll just find something new to oppress people over.

Oh great. Hating on religion.

Oh great. Another intelligent person quoting the Bible (typically the OT) without looking into the historical, cultural, and societal contexts of the time. I never thought this day would come.

So is it okay that my African ancestors had certain religion(s) forced on them? I learn that in my 8th grade history class.

Racially? No, American isn't equal on those grounds.
Gender wise? For the most part yes, Men and Women have their ups and downs and probably won't be on equal footing with one another for a while.
Gay rights are still a thing that people are fighting for, And where is it illegal in American to be gay? This is a legit question your OP has me curious.

 

[Wabbit]

No, your country is ****ed up, far from freedom,equality and democracy that your country tells others to follow or give but then again it is far far better than many other places. Also your country seems to have good amount of sane people and options for people to speak up(as long as they are not against your gobernment) whether they make sense or not, in many places such dont exist.

I met homosexual marriage. My bad.

No, that's not pantheism. I didn't say all gods exist or everyone is god. I said it possible but not possible. Agnostic-a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.Pan-a combining form meaning “all,” occurring originally in loanwords from Greek ( panacea; panoply), but now used freely as a general formative ( panleukopenia; panorama; pantelegraph; pantheism; pantonality), and especially in terms, formed at will, implying the union of all branches of a group ( Pan-Christian; Panhellenic; Pan-Slavism). The hyphen and the second capital tend with longer use to be lost, unless they are retained in order to set off clearly the component parts.

Ctrl C + Ctrl V doesn't make you right. You can't just put prefixes and suffixes together and create a new, meaningful word. Pan-agnosticism isn't a thing. lol The closest thing that you identify with is pantheism, based on what you've said. The possibility of god(s) not existing is inherent in any faith. So...

Oh, I was about to say .. I know the country is pretty messed up with it's inequality and such but we're working on it slowly.

I don't understand how that's relevant to the OT of the Bible being interpreted poorly by lazy people. Excuse me for my ignorance.

Yes it is a thing. It's not popular but it's a thing.You can search it.It's just not popular. I've met other pan agnostics. I hate when people try to tell me I'm something and they have no idea what they are talking about. This is like those people that try to call me atheist, Christianity, or satanist. Pantheism-a doctrine that identifies God with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of God.

We strive to be equal and that's what counts. Nowadays the government is much more impartial when it comes to accepting and equalizing different ways of life. These differences of living however must be harmless to other people. Homosexuality doesn't directly harm other people which is why in the last half century the U.S. has greatly changed its stance on that issue. It's the same with religion or atheism.

Governments should be as impartial as possible and be able to provide rights equally to different types of people. Jihadism is destructive to people and property and thus is forbidden in most countries. Only destructive ideologies should be suppressed. There must always be some control over people in order to morph them into beneficial societal members

Hating? I send my daughter to church every Sunday with her grand parents who btw are both pastors because I believe that it would instill good values and morals in her. However I allow and encourage her to think for herself and to come to her own conclusions about things. The problem is when people take religion and twist it and use it to their liking to control other people. The bible they we read today and the bible that was written 1000 years ago is completely different and a thousand years before that and a thousand years before that. It changes to suit the peoples own views, there's even parts of the bible that was purposely removed because the "powers that be" at that time didn't like the message it presented. The list goes on.

Guys guys, these are all just labels. I know where I stand but never tried to try to figure out in what category description I fit

I only started using the label when I talk to people who aren't my boyfriend cause before when I didn't use the label people tried calling me confuse....it was sooo much worst.

I did search it. Nothing came up. It's not a thing... You have, more than likely, met other people that don't know what they believe in, or don't know what to call their belief. I obviously don't know your entire belief system, but from what you've shared, you would most likely be a pantheist.

The first definition is very similar to what you've stated you believe. The second definition you provided says "rare." Obviously, that definition is seldom used to define a pantheist. I shouldn't have to explain these things. :|

 

[Netflix and Chill]

This is true. People should be free to follow whatever religion they want to, but it doesn't make you a better person than the ones who don't share your belief. I was raised a Christian but I'm neither pro or con. I look at religion purely as a part of culture. The only thing I can't stand are people who feel superior, while (for most) the biggest factor is the place u where born and/or your parents' decision.

Yea I feel the same, i could get a devout Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jew and a Buddhist that would all be willing to die for their religious belief. Whose wright in that group? Who's god is more real? You get it? there's no way of knowing if your following the "right" religion for the simple fact the "right" is a subjective term. We will never truly know until we die, assuming there is a God.

Wtf why does it keep showing random people in my sig?! Did someone hack my shit?

Not all things can be defined with a single word. Maybe she's none of the above and is trying her best to make up a word that describes her beliefs. Either way, she's saying she isn't what you said, and you can't just decide that she is whatever label fits her closest.

I'm done with that person. Clearly his understanding on somethings is limited.

As a whole I'm pretty sure equality is as big of a dream as peace is tbh <_<.
