--I have a Swedish boyfriend that moved to NL a year ago, no problems. Within a week you have a security number, within a month all essentials are set up. From outside European Union it can take ages to get a permit and you have to add value or a refugee that can't return

--so 0,5 of poles will have to return to poland but we have already 0,5 ukraininans in their place :P

--Yeah as always it's generally interpretation where things go wrong. Most religions say similar things at their core, but kinda miss the point entirely when it comes to the doctrine. That's why I like taoism...it's mostly non doctrinal. It's not even a religion really, more just a philosohpy

--There are some nice parts of a few religions, the problem is it comes with way too much mental baggage.

--Haha, actually I'm probably about done too :) I personally have benefitted from the tenets of Taoism in many ways, but I am very much a scientist too, starting off in Physics, so yeah I guess I have a slightly different viewpoint than the typical scientist/atheist paradigm :)

--Yeah, I guess we are beings of judgement and meaning. We make judgements of the world around us and want to attribute meaning to them one way or the other.

--When you learn the evidence and reasons for why people believe crazy stuff, then it becomes close to impossible to hold such beliefs yourself. Religion has always asked why questions of everything, of things where that question makes no sense.
