Which religion do you think sounds the most rationable. Give reasons for your answers.

EDIT: Damn forgot to put a poll...

Wow, I wasn't expecting that.

agnosticism, if you count that as a religion

agnostic: One who holds the theory that God is unknown or unknowable

If it ends with "ism", i'm not buyin it.

that's because it doesn't float your boat

Well, yes. But i'm not just talking about Agnosticism... but I thought you were Atheist.

I'm agnostic, my dad's athiest, my mom's catholic, so I don't go to church since they're not worried that we'll burn in Hell

I thought Catholics thought anyone who wasn't Catholic went to Hell. You sure she's not just being nice?

no, we were never forced to go to church once at all, and she is nice in general

For the record, I wasn't making any personal attacks against your mother.

I know, just stating, she's never said that if we dont' go to church that we'll burn in Hell or anything like that

I agree with agnosticism. I'm an agnostic, though I go to church weekly.

That must be interesting.

yes Ryu-Nacho, you must tell us why you go to church every week even though you're agnostic, I'd like to know why

There are several things. One, I'm not content with simply not knowing. I want to know whether or not there is a God. To do this, I need to learn, from many viewpoints, people's aspects on God. One of these ways is by going to church. The other reason is because my church kicks ass. We play lots of games, and talk about many ridiculous things along with common worship, song, and praise.
And, Sep. 15, I won't be on Gprime; I'll be at an all-nighter at church, playing video games or something.

No fair....

I took a comparative religions class in high school last year, it was fun, but I didn't find any religion that was really worth divulging into more

but I did like the religions of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Invisible Pink Unicorn, the Invisible Pink Unicorn one is the most basic one of them all, seeing how can you know an invisible unicorn is pink? and how does a unicorn exist? and how can a unicorn be invisible?

The invisible unicorn is pink, 'cuz it said so. It exists, because its allowed to. It's invisible, because it has ground breaking technology that bends light in such a way as to make it invisible.
Maybe.

Let's see. "I am the reincarnation of a living thing", "An invisible spirit created me, and forces me to obey him.", "See the sun over there? It's really our deity, and we are going to waste crops by offering them to it." and "We are all part of one big science expiriment."

All of them are bullshit.

I know. Obviously, you're supposed to point to me, then say "See that guy? He's our deity."

pfft, as if Ryu-Nacho, sorry, I will not point at you, it's rude

http://theunfunnytruth.ytmnd.com/What I think is truely funny about that Is that muslims and buddists killed more people than all of the other religions COMBINED.

They're not merciful religions I guess.

What I think is truely funny about that Is that muslims and buddists killed more people than all of the other religions COMBINED.
Christains slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people

Christains slaughtered hundreds of thousands of peopleActually I misspoke, I meant Muslims and Hundu's.

Christians killed 100,000's. Muslims and Hundu's have killed more than 3 million of just eachother let alone others.

And let's not forget Karl Marx... oh, and Mao Zedong.

And let's not forget Karl Marx... oh, and Mao Zedong.why are you referring to communist figureheads in a religious debate?

I always thought Christians killed the most, due to the war of the Holy Land and the Crusaders.

I always thought Christians killed the most, due to the war of the Holy Land and the Crusaders.The Muslims of moden day Pakistan and the Hindus of India had the bloodiest religious war in history. I forget what it was called, I've been searching for it.

That's kind of hypocritical of them, they're always talking about peace and not fighting, when they go and kill people just because they don't follow the same religion as them.

That's what every single religion is like apart from mine, the invisable pink unicorn

why are you referring to communist figureheads in a religious debate?
Well, she's probably referring to it because Communism is anti-religious and anyone caught worshipping a God would be killed or indoctrined.

Yes, but I brought it up for that reason.

Yes, but I brought it up for that reason.If you're trying to compare how many religious people were killed by non-religious people, and religions amongst themselves, its absolutely no comparison.

Yes... yes, I know. But didn't Marx murder more people than Adolf Hitler or something?

You are referring to Stalin.

No, Marx was not Russian; he was born in Germany to a middle class family. After his marriage he moved to England living in a three room flat where he lost one of his children during his poverty.

You are referring to Stalin.
Thank you for correcting me.

Interesting, I thought he was Russian.
Nah, but I can see how the mistake was made.

Thank you for correcting me.I think you're deviating from the point. The point is that religions were supposed to silence arguments and bring everyone together, but instead, its become a giant blood bath. Religion is mostly why we have our problems over in the Middle East.

Blaming religions for bloodshed is like blaming guns.

Which is wrong, you should blame people.

Blaming religions for bloodshed is like blaming guns.Not really, Without religion the religious leaders would not be in power. If the pope couldn't do anything, would there have been the Crusades? Or how about Osama? He's not neccisarily a religious leader, but he's become a religious icon because of the way he manipulates other people. Osama says that if you kill americans, Allah will praise you and you you get to go to paradise with 99 virgins(or whatever). That statement is completely incorrect, it says nowhere in the Queran about killing other people and getting virgin women in return. If religion didnt exist, you couldn't manipulate people in this way.

It's actually 72 virgins; also religion isn't required to manipulate people into believing you. Did Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong-il, and Vladimir Lenin use religion to make people follow them? Now I'm not saying religion hasn't been used to manipulate people in the past, but it's certainly not the only way it's done.

Did I say required? And BTW, Adolf hitler DID use religion to maipulate people. I take it you don't remember him blaming the jews for economic depression in Germany.

That's incorrect, he is using racism. If he was using religion to manipulate people, he would blame judaism.

Yes MrNaPaLm .... but the religion didn't do that.

Please tell me, anywhare in here where it says Jews are a race. And actually,
Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
Obviously, hitler NEVER blamed judaism for anything.

My apologies, should've done my homework.

That is like saying this.... "My fingers did not type this message, my keyboard did."
