I guess the meaning of 'Cultural Muslim' depends on your intention. My wifes family are Cultural catholics which I understand to mean they are raised in the culture of catholicism with all its history, language and practise, but they are not church regulars.

@wscholermann @Seagoon Fatherhood means - after a while you prefer the crust. All relationships involve some form of compromise. It takes a lifetime to find a good one and maintain it. My marriage and family life is worth it. I see more material on throuples and other arrangements, but that stuff is for my kids gen to work out - looks like a lot more work

@CEOofmyhouse56 a "Almost Muslim" is an emerging new denomination indeed. I saw an episode of 'insight' on SBS where people identified as non-practising Muslim or cultural Muslim. I guess it is to be expected in liberal democracy that moderate and progressive beliefs are tolerated to some extent. The Sydney mardi-gras had a christian float recently. religion can and does change over time. The scientific calender etc.

@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon I am vaguely Quaker. Humanistic agnostic and very moderate, but still believe the universe is a mystery. My wife is lapsed catholic and dabbles in psychic and magic practises.

Ahmadi, Sufi, Wahabi, Shiite, Sunni are all denominations of islam I believe. I heard the call to prayer a few times, but even if we're to revert to Islam, it would be as humanistic agnostic progressive lukewarm sort of Muslim. "Almost Muslim" would be a new denomination I think.

@LowExperience2368 @Seagoon piano and guitar? At the same time? Soprano ukulele fits in overhead luggage.

@Forcemajeure123 @Seagoon representative media would include couples who are three percent Aboriginal, six percent chinese, half a percent italian, ten percent queer, sixty six percent working class etc. That would be representative. Pretty difficult to cast.

@oztrin @Seagoon drat! I have just gotten into buying female Aurealis award winners. Without a local distributor, Aussie fantasy writers will have a harder time finding publishers. Fish pond can be a bit steep.

@naevaTheRat @Baku what is the best kidney bean burger pattie recipe?

@DalekThal @Baku systematically is worse. That means it is accepted as official.

@awwwyissss @SituationCake Mastodon is a white rose of sorts. There must be Australian security contractors scanning your posts. Keep up the good work!
