    This is all I have to say about religion really:

    HP, as long as you remember that the respect you give others is the respect you give back. It's also quite a blanket statement to say that all religions are horrible - most non-semitic religions are actually pretty ok. I mean, look at Buddhism. Nobody here is comparing extremism of any kind to people who are just of a faith. I'd urge you to read what kokoz said a page back, because it's a pretty important distinction to make between those people who kill for the religion and those who don't. For those who don't; you saying spirituality and them saying religion sounds to me very much like the same statements.


    ...Which ties into what I wanted to say to KT nicely: People need purpose, they need to know that their existence is meaningful in some way, because that's how the human mind works. Many people have based their purpose on their faith, either by converting or by growing up in a household of practice. This has given them a mental purpose, but it has also intertwined religion into their identity. So when discussing the topic of religion with them, defending their faith becomes paramount for them because it is an essential part of their identity - and breaking their identity is neither something that they want to do nor is it something anyone else can do for/against them. Knowledge in this case will likely just give them cognitive dissonance and make them ignore any rational statements.


    Conclusion/TL;DR: My suggestion for a solution is then not to abolish all religion, because people would just make up new stuff to believe, but to let people be and be respectful towards them. Most people use faith in a way that doesn't affect others. Those that do are not really religiously motivated, but politically motivated (e.g. terrorists).

    I think it's been atleast 4 years since I posted anything on Mapcore. I've been lurking anonymously from time to time.

    Here's a short summary of what I've been doing.


    So back in 2010, I decided game development was stupid and there would be no chance of me ever working on games.

    I got a boring job as a software engineer in the IT-industry since I thought it would be a low risk well paying career choice.

    Worked on +10 different projects in roughly 4 years, became a functioning alcoholic, partied a lot, did a lot of travelling and

    was generally having a great time.


    Last year I noticed my drinking habit was getting out of hand. Stopped drinking, realized I hated my job.

    Saved enough money to quit and start my own company making games.


    Finally working full time on a game for the past 2 months. I don't think I've ever been so happy


    I think this picture is pretty accurate http://www.commitstrip.com/wp-content/upl…inalenglsih.jpg

    Been continuing to mess around with putting music together. This is still rough as knackers but is about the epitome of what I can manage right now. Still, I can hear endless things that I want to change. I need to do some other shit for a few days so hopefully I'll feel inspired to move this forward a bit more afterwards. It's meant to be atmospheric game BGM type shit for a snowy level.
