Adults don't need baby sitting. If you have a problem with this thread read and post elsewhere. For every one mammoth religion thread there are a thousand non-religious threads.
Grow up, people. It's your choice whether or not you read this. No one is forcing it on you.

Yeah, I stayed away at first because I was sure this was going to end in a bloodbath, but it's really pleasant to see that no one is flaming anyone, except for petit with the mods and rules.
Rules were made to broken. Much like religious rules! Whooot :-)
I think we should *ahem* take a close look at this username... I think we are being watched by the outer space aliens, who want to do a research on how human beings interact when it comes to religion. That and know how to manipulate us when it comes time for the take over.
Oh you don't believe in hostel alien take-over? Well, clearly you have not read my handy-dandy brochure on religion. I am the founder, co-founder and president, and I only require NEW MEMBERS!!! Our main goal is to recruit as many earth people as possible before we take them to the space-ship in the sky with our kool-aid transporter device. It's grape-a-licious!!!! We also force children to believe in our Gods (how else would we acquire members DUH!) and pray to the flying spaghetti monster... so I didn't make that part, but it proves he is real!!!!![]()

You are too late Derby, I have already recruited most of LF to be the followers of the cult of which I am the leader.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

OOOOO we can have religious wars where we kill each other for our gods!!! Tell me about your religion so I can hate you

Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

wow and this is the downfall of joining this forum when I did, sigh... can I be a silent investor? we can have religious wars for sport, but really be on the same side secretly... ;-)
I am actually reading this, this is a ridiculously good idea. I want to be cloaked in a bear's fur drape all day long and be fed chocolate, while I am enjoying my silent partnerdom and spreading propoganda to my sheep.

Eco and myself were supposed to be hos, that's all i remember. Since we are on the opposite sides now, I would be willing to give her up to Roller.

LOL, I just reread that thread. I must have been off my meds that day.

You know, one day Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists and the rest are going to be united. They're going to be united because as individual entities they will be utterly insignificant and a laughing stock to a world of people born in the age of science and reason.
Actually, no. They'll be at each other's throats until the bitter end.
In either case it makes no difference. If people don't hate each other for believing in one myth over another they'll hate each other for being republican instead of democrat or left handed instead of right handed. It's all moot. People exist to eat, **** and hate.

Pessimist. Actually, I don't believe that. What I think will happen is that religion will become increasing personal, like sex, and that what people choose to do in their own homes is their own business. There may be a few meeting places, a la gay bars, but that will be it.
I think that's totally fine. If people want to believe smurfs live in their teapot & help clean the house at night, no problem. Just don't tell me at work the next day about how you really must do something about the blue stains in your teacups.

That's exactly the kind of commitment and enthusiasm we are looking for, you got the job.
On the side note, I saw a Scientology van a few days ago which looked a bit like a Sideshow clownsmobile with bright colours shining their "truth" in all directions. We will probably need something like that for our gig.
Maybe some walking posters as well.
