Inspired by this thread, I’m thinking that we can produce a “How did I come to exist?” answer that is just as beautiful and amazing; but more thought provoking, than the Biblical one.
Not tonight, I have a headache.
(More an IMHO, no?)
What, Zombie Jew isn’t good enough for you?
I’m thinking that a cool religion would veer is away from the traditional “Good Versus Evil” and go more towards the “Shades of Grey,” maybe not even promising an afterlife.
Something that isn’t binding, but isn’t too vague that it can lead to extremism.
Something that will inspire people to be good, but not condemn others for not following it.
Something that will inspire converts, but not lead to forcible conversions.
Man, this is going to be harder than I thought. :smack:

My son, you need The Church of the Volcano God…

I’m not unreligious because I think none of the existing ones are satisfactory; I’m unreligious because I don’t see any personal need for religion.
You can use it to make money, which leads in turns to hookers & blow.
Sweet another theoretical belief system based on something that may or may not be true. ![]()
Any religion that I am part of the founding committee of will have this as one of its canonical works.
Hey, if “being you” involves applying electrical shocks to your sworn nemesis’ gonads, who’s going to argue ? Surely *you *know best.
