Tell everyone that 20,000 religions exist on planet Earth, but 19,999 are wrong. Only your one is correct.

I've heard it estimated that there are 30,000 variants of Christianity alone, not even speaking of traditions with no fixed topography, including my own.

You know the problem to me seems to lie not with the individual's faith in some higher power or guiding consciousness but rather that there are a lot of really shit wizards who have seen their alchemical gold turn back to lead in the cold light of day. They've been debunked and exposed by science because they foolishly began to claim their myths were reality. That is the most ridiculous thing about religion.

We really need better wizards who spend less time fucking children and worrying about tradition and more time being the engineers of our flourishing and aspiration.

Ridiculous things to do with religion: choose your leaders based on it.

A theocracy is not just ridiculous, but rather too often, tragic as well.

Otoh, I wish more duh-merkins would take a close look at the tenets and history of Mormonism before election day to see what kind of whacked-out, wing-nut, looney-tunes shit Romney takes as literally true. :fp:

That would require them to be literate... or at least to have a smidgen of critical thinking ability.

Actually, there are about 2 billion variants, as each person makes up their own version in their head.

It's even more wacky to believe in what mormonism preaches than in standard chretinity... seriously, you have to have your head up Uranus to believe in planet Kolob by a couple orders of magnitude above what it takes to believe in Genesis as metaphor.
