    But communism, drugs, repressed homosexuality/homophobia, racism, and insanity is basicly what religion is all about!

          Church is a social thing. People get together on Sunday and plan things. Like the Jonestown mass suicide and the dominance of the white man.

            Yo Wiglaf did you change your avatar? I could have sworn it was something different last night but I was very tired.

              All the talk about killing brown people got him all choked up, so he wanted to put his hero up for an avatar.

                The Christian message is one thing: what people proclaiming to follow Christ's teachings do in quite another.

                Wiggy is a great example of the difference.

                  The only difference between Jones' cult and other religions is that he had fewer followers. All religions start out crazy and have to moderate themselves to become socially acceptable on a large scale. Mormonism is probably the best contemporary example.

                  Christianity is daft anyway. What other religion tries to get you to believe that three things are substantially the same as one thing (although this did lead medieval philosophers to propose many interesting theories about the nature of identity). At least Judaism and Islam have some intellectual credibility.

                      Team America? Of course! I've been thinking it was some relative of that murderous animated doll, Chuckie or whatshisname.
                      Also, last time I saw a forum thread with a similar name, it led to an endless chain of threads across many forums, each promising to tell me something about gullibility.

                          DD is correct. Religionists are generally capitalists.

                            Religionists are generally starving in mud huts and barter for stuff.
