This quote, represents how I feel about god. I am not a religious man by any means, but I do feel close to god. I feel that by doing right things every day, and choosing to turn the other way during bad decisions has brought me close to god. This quote, is perfect for me.

Thanks for uploading this! I've been looking for this quote for a while!

It's a good quote!

FYI, this Hospitaller is actually based on Roger, the Grandmaster of Knights Hospitaller at that time. You can tell that by his presence at the dinner and his trip to recruit knights.

@pedroelcavron and you will also see that by no means are religious cults the only one, they're just one of many, it's the system itself not the topic that's the issue, the process by which one goes about, not the words itself, it's just that so many people confuse these that one also has to talk about the words, alongside the system too and at some point you kind of find yourself going"how the hell will I deal with this" and you throw it all out we're only human sticking to simplicity is useful

@pedroelcavron but at the same time, said feeling often makes you blind to the bad parts of the ideology or group you attach to, that whole "love is blind" thing, and what is the ideal here is to know what you love, not just love what you know, and by doing so avoid becoming a crazy loony fanatic bent on hurting others

look up "what is a cult" on cult clinic, you can see some religious institutional stuff in the making there to a degree, but when neutralized it's comfortable silly beliefs

@pedroelcavron so, spirituality, is the part of religion that is, umm... well it's not spirituality in the sense that you believe in ghosts spirits, but a certain sense and feeling that people adore that is also in christianity, even if they're atheists

the reason people criticize the mainstream religions as atheists is because so many religious people are so bad and excuse it with the bible or something, you might think this is the baby with the bathwater, so, saladin, the blacksmith, etc etc

[noobler9]

@pedroelcavron oh and by the way, cults of personality, and radiant futures, are also included as "religions" by this definition, radiant future being communism's version of heaven, it has the same function, just a different form (name)

;) the patterns of behaviour are how you best tell, not the words they use, and that's what secularism is all about, or, maybe it's more specific than that, but that's what most secularists think like anyways, nazi ideology also counts as a religion under this

[noobler9]

@pedroelcavron and that's actually why secularism exists, to separate religion from politics in an official manner :)

harhar. the more you know, but that's no guarantee of good action, just a method of ensuring it is more likely to occur

@pedroelcavron they did, but there ARE people that spoke out against fanaticism in medieval times, in that very same way actually

"I would give the devil the benefit of the law for my own sake" or something like that, in an english play, the fact that cromwell got rebuffed for his craziness, that would never happen if no one or no group of influence didn't share that belief

they just had to "codeword" it a little to some extent, religious discourse is political discourse in medieval times

a stock is like, the tree trunk, it's the main part of it, the part that if you're missing it the entirety falls apart

lock, stock and barrel means the whole of it, as taken from online etymology, apparently it's germanic even

so your danish teacher needs to learn to germanic apparently too :D

after all english takes much from nordic and germanic and latin and french and greek

@LegoGenfilms you should tell him the origin of stocks in economics comes from the word stock that the guy in this clip says, it means validity, belief in, faith in, investment, betting on, any of that stuff that says if it fails you fail

[LegoGenfilms]

My English teacher (i'm danish) corrected the quote "I put no stock in religion" as a mistake in my essay. FML i'm surrounded by retards
