Are some religions madder than others?

Just reading a link in a thread on Mitt Romney and some of the Mormon beliefs would indeed be a little......offbeat. But are some religious beliefs madder than others? Or are they all mad, Ted?

vicwatson · 25-09-2012 05:45PM

No, they are all quite bonkers

Real Life · 25-09-2012 05:46PM

Are some people more manipulative than others?

Yes, yes they are.

Hang on now, there's a few gods that are validly worshipped. Which one are you taking in vain? Just so we know

I think they are all a load of coq!

Pffft, its frowned upon if you still believe in Santa, Tooth Fairy and Larry Murphy at the age of 12.

But it seems to be ok to believe in "Jesus", "Allah", "Muhammad" or "Tom Cruise".

Well it depends if you define a religion which promises 99 virgins waiting for you in heaven if you blow yourself up and take as many people with you... 'mad'

krudler · 25-09-2012 05:51PM

magic underpants? god living on another planet? nonsense! virgin births, talking snakes, zombie jews? sure thats fact like.

yes, they're all as batsh1t as the other.

The Westboro Baptist Church springs to mind, like an angry and terrifying frog

donegal. · 25-09-2012 05:52PM

That wasn't the question.

They are all nuts.

Catholics and Muslims are particularly bad as they have a disturbing propensity to have sex with children.

ah god indeed.
a religion is just a group of people with similar spirital views.

sometimes the group becomes an organization, which then sometimes becomes a corporation.....then theres power to be had....and that power corrupts everything.

then critics come along and rightly criticize.

however, having spiritual questions such as who am i and wtf am i doing here, why do i exist, what is consciousness, etc etc is perfectly logical.

some such questions can never be objectively answered with physical science, and so a religion forms.

'bonkers' is just a subjective definition anyway, the Mormons probably think you're off your head for not having 10 wives and rollin in a 2 horse carriage in Ohio biiatch.

Some are really out there, like the Moon cult and the Koolaid drinkers.

That's the great thing about Catholicism, it's so vague, and nobody really knows what it's all about..

Katie Taylor believes some mysterious God helps her to win boxing matches.
I didn't know a whole lot about her before the Olympics, but when i saw her in interviews after going on about this nonsense i couldn't believe it.
I thought only auld wans went on like that.
Where do people get these mad notions out of?

But it was the answer. Religion is about the manipulation of others.

That sh1t wrecks my head, you never see people blaming god they lose, only praising him help them win. so by that logic, you have nothing to be proud of yourself, and old Yahweh did it all for you, and if you lost, well he didnt want you to win anyway, so it was a futile effort. which makes him an asshole.

What's even crazier is His choice and timing of world situations to intervene: 20,000 syrians killed in violent clashes this year?? Pfff feck them, instead lets get involved with some womens olympic boxing matches!

All religions with their theories, is nuts.

Some religions with their physical effect upon the world, is worse sadly than others.

Are some religions madder than others?
