In your opinion what is the one true religion? I say Christianity and that all others will burn in Hell for all time. But that is just my opinion.
Geez, you’re really asking for it, do you know that? And I say that as a Catholic and therefore someone who’ll pass your criteria for heaven.
Ah, but what brand?
seriously, there have been some major flame wars on SDMB over this
I say it is Santanism, ala Anton LeVey style. Why you ask? Because Santanism does not recognize a supreme being. It is a religion of humanity by humanity for humanity; therefor far more applicable to life and living than a belief in god or goddess.

Is this a joke thread or something?
I’d just like to point out that “true” is to “religion” what “tasty” is to “north,” that is, irrelevant and not on the same plane.
Don’t know much about religion, do you?
I’m a Jew and we don’t believe that. Buddhists don’t believe that. Muslims don’t believe that Christianity and Judaism are “fiction,” since Islam is built upon those two religions (although they do believe neither religion is complete without acceptance that Muhammed is the Prophet). I’m pretty sure Hindus don’t believe that. And Catholics don’t believe that - a couple years ago, the Pope decreed that his flock leave the Jews alone, as we have our own covenant with God and don’t need to accept Jesus. Pagans don’t believe that.
AFAI believe, there is no one true religion.
Thank you, Kyla.
And, erm, what made someone actually want to post this topic here? ::rolls eyes:: It’s got to be one of the most convoluted debate ideas I’ve seen lately.
Is this for real? Hasta be one of the touchiest subjects ever. Yeow.
Personally, I think there’s No Such Thing, especially once you start getting into the politics and histories of . . . er, a major religion I studied (I won’t name names, cause I wish not to offend folks). Then they start to look kinda mean.
I like animism myself. Dunno if that’s classified as a religion or a belief structure, tho. Whatever. I like it because it predates the Agricultural Revolution. I like my roots, heh.
Santanism? If you say so. Personally, I like Christmas as much as the next guy, but to start worshipping the right Jolly Old Elf seems a bit much.
'Course, as a guy, I’m attracted to the notion of getting plenty of ho’s.

b) Cthulhu.

See my sig. We’re all doomed.
Mmmmmm . . . North . . .
IMHO all religions are fairy tales; the result of wishful thinking, false positives on the connection-detector, and leaders using it as a useful way to control the populace (for both good and bad) and to gain wealth and power.
Kibology, of course!
I’m not sure if alt.religion.kibology is still meaningfully active.
I am an adherent of Hydrocortisonism. We babble incoherently in airports when we’re not looking for rich girls to rape.
