Religion Poll

[RWS]

I see what you mean.

Aliens seeding the earth with humans is soooo much crazier than any other religious myth.

They're all equally incredible.

Aliens putting people around volcanoes and detonating hydrogen bombs simultaneously inside said volcanoes four quadrillion years ago is a bit of a stretch. Especially when the whole religion is founded by some guy who wrote science fiction novels and wasn't even born until the 20th century. I would say Scientology is one of the more incredible ones.

Why are us members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster not represented?

I did a brief stint in Utah...and I have to say, once you start getting deep into the Mormon religion, I mean the stuff they don't tell the general public...well Scientology isn't the craziest squirrel in the tree.

And Wes, don't fuck with my water into wine fanatsy.

I'm partial to the burning bush and parting the Red Sea.

A bit of a stretch?  Hilarious.

How about an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful being that created the heavens and earth in 6 days?  He knows everything that you'll do, claims to have given you free will...and will smite thee mightily for choosing poorly.  Oh yeah...he also needs your money.

All the religious mythologies are ridiculous in their own way.

If you are partial to a burning bush...hang out with Chad and Taylor a bit more often.

We do have a power to part womens legs in a holy manner, and we know many womens in a biblical sense.

I was thinking more along the lines of the herp...or the clap...heard they burn.

Howard shared that information in confidence.  You've broken the circle of trust.

Aw, sugar that is not true. Some of us can keep things in the vault.

Where's sabanist?

Where's sabanist?

As much as you post about him, you should be the founder.

You have the lines blurred a bit there brother.  Faith is the belief in something else bigger than you or I.  Religion is created by man and therefore fallible.  God doesn't ask for my money only that I believe.

Well, this poll settles it.

You ain't cool if you ain't Christian. 

Buncha agnostic hippies if you ask me.  And as for that atheist?

I'm not sure where it fits into this discussion, but this has always been an all-time favorite of mine.

I realize this post was in jest, but this is mostly due to the location of the voters.  If the poll had been taken in Afghanistan or Yemen, then the results would be decidedly Muslim.  Buddhist in Cambodia and Taiwan, Hindu in India, and you'd notice a very large absence of religion in Estonia.

This makes me wonder if most people actually study religions and choose a faith that suits them the best or appears to be the most truthful, or if their religion is mostly culturally induced.

Don't start with the cultural comments, you racist bastard.  Titan will shut this shit down.

Damn it...I guess I'll have to wear my pillow case on my head in the corner again...

Good.  I'm tired of being lonely.
