Religious fanaticism in no PMO support groups

I don’t know what support group you’re referring to, but clearly it wasn’t something that you belonged in. NoFap for the most part is very open and accepting, and nothing at all like that.

I’m a Christian and always have been, but I’m always open to new ideas and input from other people because I recognize that their opinion is no less valid than mine.

I think the reason why you tend to find those sorts is because PMO addiction drove them to become deeply religious because they used it as their solution to PMO, and some might have already been religious and are in those groups because of the associated guilt religion tends to impose on those kinds of activities.

 

Absolutely! I think you’ll find NoFap to be much more to your liking. Welcome to the community, and I hope that it can be what you’re looking for.

 

So... don't become a "religious fanatic" then? I don't want to do "monk mode" or take cold showers or a ton of other things people talk about here all the time. So I just ignore those threads, because they aren't for me.

 

Exactly. I take everything on the Internet with a grain of salt, and try to focus on what actually works for me.

 

Because they know they can get away with it - being religious is the status-quo. In America, people just assume that you are a Christian. It's disgusting.

 

Your assumption is that people shouldn’t share their thoughts and feelings.

Another thought from earlier in the thread, lots of judgmental thoughts bubble up every time someone calls another group judgmental. Often times I think people feel more harshly judged than they are.

 

No, my problem is that religious radicalism is tolerated because society/this website has a bias in favor of religion, while other forms of radicalism are not. I don't see an Ethnic Nationalist forum or group.

 

Religious radicalism? You're kidding right? Yes, nationalism isn't widely tolerated because it has been proven time and time again to be destructive and to create an atmosphere of superiority and hatred.

I'm not sure what you're referring to with 'religious radicalism', but to me it seems like you're upset because not everyone shares your opinion, and your obviously very negative attitude toward religion.

 

That's what I meant. Do you think I'm calling all religious people radical? Yet another ignorant and illogical post from you, it's starting to not be funny anymore. But go ahead, keep slandering me.

 

I don’t see religious fanaticism on the board.

 

Nationalism is everywhere.

 

This is actually the card I should have played.

OP referenced "fanaticism" and I didn't check to verify his claim. So I assumed a hypothetical scenario where his story was true. My comment should have been "if fanaticism exists, then it is because of X." That would be more consistent of me to say.
