Alcohol is legitimately pretty bad for you and tarot is just kinda dumb but still.bad to be afraid of them
Tarot is a lot of fun! It’s like storytelling. I think if you go into it with an idea that it’s more reflective than predictive or prescriptive it’s more enjoyable.
I’ve found most of the fortune teller people who give tarot a bad rep are really just using the storefront as a means to sell fake purses and weed.
Hang on your telling me I could have been getting my weed hook-up from Madam Sora down the road all this time? Brb.
Facts, nothing is better than getting $200 of psychedelics in a Channel bag and a free reading of your heart line.
Yeah I can see how it might be fun if you don't assume it's telling the truth.
Except it's not about telling the truth (at least from my experience when a friend offered). It's more of a discussion with the reader with the cards being a facilitator for what to talk about. It's not the same as fortune telling.
I guess I kinda miss what exactly it was then, that seems a lot better.
Yeah, I didn't know it was like that before either. Now I think of it as a very informal consulting session.
So, Mormon or Muslim? I'm betting Mormon.
Yeah, the coffee is a bit of a dead giveaway. About the only two religions I know that abstain from caffeine are the Rastafarians and the gullible dorks who think that a Bronze Age civilization of former slaves somehow made it from the Middle East to the Americas.
Muslims and Mormons have similar strictures around caffeine.
For me it was the yoga. I'll bet modern Islam doesn't have much of a reaction to it. In US religions. yoga is in the category of "things foreigners do" and is therefore of the devil.
Can you please point me towards sources on which muslimic communities/branches/denominations of Islam forbid coffee? I was always under the impression that coffee came to western europe from the islamic world.
Turkish coffee is a huge thing too (coffee houses come from that tradition)
Nah my guess is that Muslims would think that yoga is a "Kuffar demon-worshipping practice"
So what's it with fucking yoga now? Are they all salty Dhalsim haters or what.
My Christian English teacher once said that yoga brings you closer to the devil.
In france, they do "yoga" for the kids in primary school. My super fundamentalist ex wife refused to send them to school on yoga days because it's "devil worship".
They're just makeing things up now.
Oh, yeah, also you shouldn't eat noodles because they look like snakes, and snakes are a sign of the devil. Also shoe laces.
I like to point out to these people that it isn't devil worship, it can't be, because only Christians believe in the devil. The church of Satan just likes to mock them.
I once witnessed a national youth development training get detailed for 20 minutes while the facilitators and a sizable contingent debated if it was a physical activity or an imposition of Buddhist/Hindu religious beliefs.
Yoga connects you to your body, which to the Christians isn’t yours. It is a faith of slavery beginning to end.

Anyone else told to fear Ouija Boards like cats fear cucumbers?
Having taught at a Catholic university, I can say definitively that many many people are afraid of the Hasbro toy you mentioned. When I tell my students the origin of the toy, I get a laugh. One student even did a research project about it, surveying friends and family.
Wait what religion shuns coffee?
Muslims and Mormons dont do anything that can be considered a drug, like alcohol and caffeine.
Mormons specifically have a thing against green/black tea and coffee, actually. Other forms of caffeine are maybe a bit frowned on by the boomers, but caffeine and sugar has basically replaced alcohol in Utah. Instead of bars on every corner, there are so fucking many dedicated soda places.
There was also an uproar within Christians against Starbucks when they change Merry Christmas to Happy Holyday or something on their paper coffee cups.
LMFAO Tarot. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Religion also teaches us to fear death, with the possible exceptions of Buddhism and Hinduism. I know that Christianity and Judaism definitely want us in mortal fear of death and judgement.
i don't understand that particular Christian viewpoint of judgement. I was raised christian, but it seems that the whole judgement thing goes against the reason Jesus came. He was the payment for our sins, therefore we are not judged. Therefore we should not fear death because there is no more judgement.
Nor do I but Christians seem to harbor a facination with apocalypse from The Book of Revelation.
the underwear looks like it has a bunch of pube hairs on it
They're right, you definitely should fear ZA WARUDO
I love that alcohol and coffee made it on here as taboo topics, but drugs aren't here at all...
Some day -I'll never see it, I'll be long dead - humanity will awake & push away all this organized superstition. Nothing against spirituality, that's important, but the oppression of free thoughts is unbearable. So is the protection of (child) molesters & outright financial crimes.
I like that the little underpants have pubes on them.
Embrace natural body hair!
(Or not, it's your hair do what you want with it)
pre-pubed underwear? no thanks ive already got it covered
