| Philosphy of religion: Can one be passionate about religion? I thought about this this morning. I know in a lot of faiths, if someone tries to be apart of your faith or uses elements in your faith, you feel that they are just fooling around and should be serious. But I got to thinking... could that be a form of a religious superiority complex? Let's take for example, you think religion is interesting. Your interested in a religion's formality in prayer, the way people get together in large groups for a similar cause... but lat's say you don't hold the beliefs of the afterlife and deity worship/praise of that religion. Would you not be qualified as an outcast in most cases? This was something I've been observing. I hope this is the right board to put it in.
