Ah, "im about to recieve my degree" typically you'd associate that with a young person. I get it. How do you know I just havent been in the field with a lesser degree for quite a while?

I'm so pleased to have found a spirituality and philosophy thread on here.
Here's a little background, I'm about to receive my degree in psychology, I'm very anti-organized religion, and I'm very introverted.
Most of my views are based in evolutionary psychology. Therefore, I cannot accept organized religion, especially Americanized Christianity, as from an evolutionary psychologists perspective it will die out. I see myself as more of a transcendentalist.
That sums me up!!! I see organized religion as a hurdle which the world will eventually have to jump over...Sometime in the future the human race will have to come together as one to get where we need to go and organized religion will not let that happen.. It is strange to me how so many people can believe something so blindly!

Hmmm.. why is everyone assuming I'm so young? I find that interesting.
I don't think that age is relevant and personally I didn't imagine you of any age. However, you seem a little rushed and immature, mostly because you signal some difficulties when it comes to acceptance, so maybe this is why some posters assumed that you are younger.

I'm not 'whining' and moving isnt always the solution.
You most definitely sounded like you did. If you didn't, I apologize for misunderstanding, even though I am sure I detected you having difficulties to accept that not everybody has the same views with you, that you're surrounded by conservative people, that your dad "lost his voice of independence", and that people, because of having something against the usage of psychedelics, are stopping you from practicing your religion.
This sounds like whining to me. 
Quote:
Psychedelics aren't a religion, i agree. But they are sacraments.
Really? And you know this how? 
Quote:
Someone also brought up that psychologists are supposed to act in very specific ways. There is truth to that. People have expectations of you.
Just because people have expectations of you, it doesn't mean that you should also act on them. The same thing goes for the expectations you have towards the world. 
Quote:
One of the misconceptions is that we are perfectly stable mentally. I definitly am not, and neither was Freud (someone mentioned him). Who the hell is?
Who said that there might be people that are totally mentally sane (something impossible to know anyways), and who said that about you, and, most importantly, why did you feel the need to specify this in this manner? 
Quote:
I'm not against the early christians btw, just the modern ones. The modern bible is nothing like the original as a lot of the words were lost in translation from greek/arabic to english. Eg: the word 'virgin' in greek has something around 32 meanings, it just so happened that when they went to english there was one meaning and they doctored stories to fit that meaning.
But you can't possibly know all the modern Christian, in order to accurately determine if "like" them or not. 
This is not a personal attack, as you are the one who asked for an opinion about yourself, and I'm giving it to you: you really seem to be having difficulties to accept the differences between you and the others, it is a lack of acceptance which has the potential of making you feel miserable and stopping you from taking a closer and more in depth look at those around you.

Wow, I'm usually the one that's totally accepting of everyone.. homosexuals, eccentrics, etc. Buuuuuuuuuut, now that I think about it, most of the people I feel so accepting of are total left wingers like me - people that are outcasted where I live. So no wonder I'm so accepting of them. And I'm generally not accepting of these right winger fundementalists, at least as much as I am towards these other people. Interesting. I'm glad you pointed that out. I'm not so accepting of EVERYONE afterall.
I am a little rushed I suppose. I guess that can be taken as immature. Another thing to note is that after full days of meticulous scholarly writing, I get on here and lose all drive to even spell correctly, let alone sound intelligent. So that probably contributes.
Apostle 11 refers to organized religion as a hurdle for the world. The bloodiest battles in the world have been over which God is the right God. So I am in accord with that. A lot of civil rights are denied due to organized religion.
But again, like MushroomTrips Teasy Thighs points out, I dont know every modern Christian, and I cant judge. All I know is their book, which I dislike.
Good thing i got into research and theory. I cant even handle myself, let alone a case load hah.
I need to relocate.
thanks for the advice everyone

Just a few questions for your amusement and consideration.
If you are opposed to organized religion, why would you date someone who's submerged in such a system?
Why would you let the apparent fact that others don't accept you, bug you? Is the need for validation a healthy activity?
How does it feel to believe you "don't belong here"? And is there a relationship between this and suicide?
>>>>Healthy doses of pornography are good for your psyche.
Is this something you know to be true, or is it simply a belief?
>>>>Someone else said that I should feel welcome here. That's all I really wanted to hear.
If you already feel welcome, would there be a desire to hear it? What is preventing you from feeling welcome?
>>>>I should know as a psychologist not to challenge CERTAIN belief systems.
Perhaps poking crazy people with sticks isn't always the best option, but is there ever a belief system that should not be challenged?
>>>>Wow, I'm usually the one that's totally accepting of everyone
Is there a difference between accepting someone, and accepting the things they do? For instance, is there any need to accept or reject the fact that some guys like to stick their willy in other guys bums? Is there any need to accept or reject the fact that some people have beliefs that cannot be proven?
>>>>I am a little rushed I suppose.
Is there any need to feel rushed?
>>>>I need to relocate.
Is there a difference between need, and want, in this regard?
>>>>Existential crisis
Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Or neither?
Last question, are you familiar with the heart chakra?
