     OP - October 16, 2010, 02:18 PM
    Has anyone heard of PostSecret? It's got quite a big following, so I bet some of you have heard of it. I love this site!  Afro

    It's an art project, created by Frank Warren. The idea of it is that people - completely anonymously - decorate postcards that represent a secret that they have never revealed before to anyone before and they send it in. By sending it in, I mean by postal mail sent to that guy who created this project, and he scans and blogs them every Sunday, so you'll get to read new secrets every week. Old secrets will be removed, but you can find them elsewhere online if you want to take a look more. There are also PostSecret books available.

    The postcards reveal some of the darkest thoughts and feelings of the human condition. Some of the secrets are painful, some are beautiful. Embarrassing, funny, shocking or sad. And not surprisingly - god, religion, faith, lack of faith themes - are quite common there.

    Do you have any secrets you want to share?  Smiley

    Some of the secrets I found which I'd like to share, because I think they are appropriate for this forum.  Wink

    Amazing stuff Lukatic, I will definitely keep an eye in this website.

    I particularly enjoyed "I have masturbated while reading the bible"  Cheesy

    "I am a Lesbian and a Muslim, how do I fix it? I've tried to pray it away"  lipsrsealed

    Really profound to see into people's darkest secrets like that. I remember a music video where they showed a lot of postcards like this, but I can't for the life of me remember what band it was.

    ^^ I found a site that archives old secrets a while back, but can't remember the url now.  finmad I'll let you know if I find it again. But for now, if you type "postsecret" into Photobucket search or Flickr, or even google image, a lot of images come up with old Postsecrets.
    You can also visit their forums, and twitter.

    I lost my ability to write beautifully when I lost my faith, but I'm not sure regaining my faith is a price I'm willing to pay to regain my artistry.

    Uh-huh. This forcibly struck me as the most counterintuitive idea outside physics. What a quantum leap! The rest were mere platitudinarians without any redeeming vice, but this! this blew my hair so far back I've lost all my follicles. Does anybody remotely feel this? To my mind the bestest writers have always been merchants of Irreligion. Imagination can sprout wings and soar to the seventh heaven only when the trembling fear of a Cosmic Bully is abolished, when the manacles of thought are defiantly flung down, when the mind can breathe unobstructed, unimpeded, unlike the guardians of regimented thinking.

    Exceptions exist to be sure. One thinks of G K Chesterton's imperishable Father Brown tales or C S Lewis or even the greatest mystery of them all, Conan Doyle. But they are flickering candles in the dark everywhere engulfed by a heaving sea of godless ink-stained scribblers. Pick up your pen dammit and let imagination body forth.

    Oi! That was his/her personal secret! Who knows, maybe back when he/she was still religious, he/she had a penchant for writing fantasy stories about life in heaven, enjoying the virgins and grapes, or about his/her conversations with god or the devils! So losing faith might mean losing the writing muse, because his/her favourite subjects were out! whistling2

    Other than that, I agree with your post.  parrot

    I love it when you talk dirty to me. My nipples perk up, my tongue salivates and my hairs stand on end. Do you know what else stands to attention my sweet? Come closer, that I may whisper it in your ears.

    Yeah, but I bet the majority of Postsecret's participators are religious, considering that the majority of the world's population are religious, so it's kinda interesting to see what's really in their minds, and to see that most of them are struggling with "faith" too, or in such a confused state.
