Its New Year??!?!?!
WHaaaaaaa I didn't even realize.

I have no religion ╮(￣▽￣)╭

No religion, it's easier like this ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I don't follow any religions either , i am Fudanshi also can't stand most straight manga either , personal feelings a side , love is free for all doesn't know gender or religion or race , simply happens either the person accepts who he/she is or live in ignorance and denial never happy or satisfied then . simple fact & simple truth .

It´s absolutelly up to you what you want to believe in. If you like having something bigger outside watching over you, nice. You believe in karma/reincarnation/fate? NICE. U dont give a shit about spirits? Great. Technically everyone is bunch of atoms pushed and pulled by electricity, so why working yourself up about whether something is sin or not? You are alive now so enjoy what feels good, tomorrow fking moon can explode and kill us all so what is there to fear (yeah exageratted, calm down nasa) :D

I'm catholic but I honestly never saw and haven't seen any problem with it.

I read only yaoi mangas. And the only no-yaoi manga I read is Black Butler

I'm a christian but I don't take my religion too seriously as I don't agree with some parts of it (like homosexuality being wrong - it's christianity who's wrong (╬￣皿￣)凸 ) but yeah, I conside myself a 'modern christian' or whatever you call it, so I believe in God basically and in Jesus but some rules are outdated so I decide to follow my heart instead of an ancient book on those matters ^^

Why are you saying this to me XD ? Made me laugh, leave the moon alone :')

sorry it was meant for main thread :D my blindness

I'm agnostic. Because I hate the way religion is used by greedy people to justify their disgusting actions.

I personally consider myself religious and at first, I felt really guilty about reading it. But alas, as you have said, straight manga is just too boring now. I used to read Shoujo 24/7 with a good Josie every now and then. But damn. Now yaoi has taken Shoujo's place (ITS JUST SOOOO BOOOOORING NOW).
As stated before, I used to feel really guilty but, I actually don't know what my religion says about homosexuality (Islam). I only know what other people have told me. However, you can't always trust other people's interpretations of stuff, so I wish to read for myself before I trust anyone else's homophobic interpretations.
Now the only times I feel guilty is if the story is truely smutty and explicit (because these differ from stories about actual 'Love' and are just about 'Lust')
Anyways, that's how I feel ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I'm agnostic. But my mom's Buddhist, so I practice it a little. Reading yaoi has never really been a problem for me in terms of my beliefs, but I've known people who are Christian who are ok with it. Idk if God "clearly" said "man and woman only" because people seem to have a variety of different interpretations.

Lol same here, I also can't read straight people manga anymore. If I see a cute guy in straight manga I started fantasizing him being as seme/uke instead (￣∇￣") ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I am beyond help now.

Oh my God. We're so alike! Basically, yeah. I was soooo into shoujos before but I got over it. Yaoi is just pure bliss! From light and cute romance to angsty messed up love. The variety is amazing! Technically my family also follows Islam. But I don't really know about myself.

same!

Being religious doesnt matter imo. If you know your limitations with the genre, then thats fine to like yaoi. And limitations as in you know how to define whats right and wrong, whats fictional and whats not. Something like that.

Won't go into details about my religious beliefs, but I will say that I don't view reading BL as a sin. If it's a sin then reading about straight couples having premarital sex is "sinful" too. I don't think same sex relationships are sinful but if someone considers them a sin and uses that as the justification for not reading BL, then they shouldn't be reading or watching anything with murder, stealing, or anything else that breaks the Ten Commandments.

Thank you guys for the reply ! It's really nice to see people replied to my questions.
I asked this , cause I'm from Italy and went to a catholic school,but I'm not a catholic,now I'm in a different school. I believe in something that's above us. Since everybody in my class know I read yaoi, they asked me " aren't you Christian ? ", " Do you know what the Bible said ?" And I was quite shocked .. so thinking about it, you replies made me realize yaoi and religion are two different things.
Let's just read Yaoi in peace !

OMG SAME HEEEREEE!!

I do kind of feel that way. It just makes me feel so guilty that I have to stop reading for a while. It's just hard to explain ┗( T﹏T )┛

I am catholic and go to the church every week but I read Yaoi because it's fiction. And I think it is better to read yaoi than go and watch porn on internet.
And Christianity is not against homosexual, they have a place in society but Christianity just do not want this model to be the majority because they can not have kids.

Sorry I am not english hard to explain :)
