Religion: A topic which could not be further away from this community, but which has mentioned in the home page of the Shadow Wiki:

Welcome to the "Shadow Wiki"!

6. This is the orange pill.

Though, I haven't seen anything of that kind there besides this reference.

First, however, let me explain why there MAY be some value in researching this topic.

The world sucks right now, and always has been in one way or another. So far, the projection goes towards enpoopening by which the human race decided to become the Prometheus for its own kind. Why though? Why is everyone and everything become such a crappy place to be around???

Well, the answer is simple from my observation: MENTAL STATE. No, I'm not talking about the song; rather the state of our own minds. One of the most difficult sciences of our current time is the observation of our mind, how it works, and how you can solve the issues of it. We think too much, and sometimes, our thinking can lead us to something I call an existential crisis.

This is what happened to me, and also the reason why I haven't been working on my website or have been active anywhere else. I eventually lead all of that thought around for 8 years, and I'm starting to see the scatters by which I'm walking on, and while I have partially recovered, I can imagine that the next time, I'll end up dead. This let me to two (as of now) unsuccessful attempts at working on it: Firstly, getting some mental help, and secondly, religion.

This, alongside the doomer mindset this community is mostly thinking about when witnessing crimes against human privacy or the next 1984 idea becoming a reality, is why an article about religion may be super useful. This is also where the problem starts. Because this community is so diverse (pride C:), there can also be massive issues with an article talking about beliefs.

Belief is something not necessarily true, but something you have determined to express as the truth. It's something that teaches you morals, the traditions, the practices, and beliefs of a set of community through faith.

However, whenever you encounter another one of such with different ideas, you'll end up becoming monke again (if you think evolution is a thing lol). Take Christianity as an example. First, it separated from Judaism as a new covenant of a world where the Messiah is Jesus Christ and bla bla bla (essentially, there are now two separate religions), then, the church of the west started innovating the theology (Roman Catholic Church) while the church of the east remained in conserving the theology (Orthodox Catholic Church); now we got two "Christian denominations", and after that, there's another split in Christianity: The Reformation, and at that point I'm too tired to explain any further. My point is, if all of these Christian denominations that exist today all walk into a bar, the barkeeper will probably get drunk himself from trying to evade of hearing the discussions of the trinity, the true Christian thought, and social issues only to cause another discussion on whether drinking alcohol is a sin! This is just the scale of Christianity; now throw in a couple of other religions and you essentially create the recipe of wars and conflict.

This would be the worst case and a good reason why NOT to create an article about religion. Internet privacy attracts very different people, thus a wider pool of religious thoughts and a larger chance of a burning train.

You could also take a secular thought and just soberly list all religions and their descendants, the difference in their thoughts, and reasons for and against.

This in return can lead to other issues such as indirectly insulting a religion or outrage or just plain wrong information since in a religion there can also be variations and you can never ensure somebody who gave out a thought is correct or practicing the actual religion.

All of this sounds like something to remove from the Shadow Wiki and never do, but I think we can do it, and I think there can be a lot of value from trying something out like this.

So far, I barely have seen anyone talk about this. I know loadingxml is Muslim and I think diggy is an atheist (could be very wrong here), but other than that, I still am not entirely sure whether this idea will get enough curiosity, so I'll just throw out my random ramble here in a new thread.

If I messed up, I'm sorry if everything below this post is just a mess. I really hope pray that I just didn't post a nuke request.
