I'd argue its more due to my country up bringing and dissatisfaction with town life followed closely by a desire for the unattainable personal autarky
if we are talking strictly england, then you are right rural england is gorgeous while i personally find london and other english cities at best bland and at worst horrid

Compared to where I live neither one has much to offer at all. I've been in Snowdownia two dozen times and I can tell you that the only interesting or spectacular thing is the troglodyte population.

Devon, Cornwall and Dorset (in doses) are fine places to live, if I had the opportunity I'd move there tomorrow. Norfolk perhaps. You have to expect a level of comparative backwardness about people who live in smaller communities.

I've got family in Rhondda, and if we're talking about desolate shitholes with chavscum majorities then that place is right up there with the worst. Yet around the place is a lot of natural beauty. I used to go up in the mountains and fly fishing, one of the best players I've ever been for it. The lake at Bala, much the same. I guess the difference is visiting and living.

"I believed it. Why wouldn't I? I was young and these were people I trusted. Everyone knew I'd taken the virginity vow, of course. Gossip is the lifeblood of the Baptist Church. My parents were so proud of me for making such a spiritual decision. The church congregation applauded my righteousness.For more than a decade, I wore my virginity like a badge of honor. My church encouraged me to do so, saying my testimony would inspire other young girls to follow suit. If the topic ever came up in conversation, I was happy to let people know that I had taken a pledge of purity."

"Ten-year-old girls want to believe in fairy tales. Take this pledge and God will love you so much and be so proud of you, they told me. If you wait to have sex until marriage, God will bring you a wonderful Christian husband and you'll get married and live happily ever after, they said. Waiting didn't give me a happily ever after. Instead, it controlled my identity for over a decade, landed me in therapy, and left me a stranger in my own skin. I was so completely ashamed of my body and my sexuality that it made having sex a demoralizing experience."
just what i said minutes ago, leave all kids alone, let em grow and decide what they want to believe in

"The idea that a woman's worth resides entirely in her hymen is disgusting. "Purity" is for drugs and gold, not people"
brilliant

Just generally wondering what is so important with all these rituals all different religions have?

Do you guys really think that keeping to the rituals is so important in the belief in god? Like different rituals means different or false gods? To me it seems more of a social club thing, a community thing.

Funny thing is that bible gods and muslim one doesn't have a name - just god, so how can people claim that they are believing in wrong god if they get out of bed on a different foot then the next religion?
