It took you long enough.

Is there a point to this?

I think we have already have a thread for this. I might be wrong.

Also, lighten up Gav. The Spaghetti Monster loves you.

You must be one with the meatball, it will explain it all to you. Do not fear the sauce, it is part of the process of converting.

It's a fake...our noodley goodness of Godhood is a) invisible and b) as he said in his I really rather you didn'ts "'d really rather you didn't go around telling people I talk to you." I figure that probably counts for pictures as well....photographers are so full of themselves.

I think you should form a denomination proposing that.

If I believe Jesus is God how can I not feel that Islam, Mormonism, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism etc etc are blasphemous?

I guess it depends how you define or view blasphemy.

Well, Buddhism does not consider the belief in Christianity to be blasphemous. Maybe that is a sign of religious maturity.

Or an acknowledgement of the fallibility of the human psyche. If someone can be a better person by following Christian doctrine then I can think of no reason why the inaccuracy of the predictions & positions of those doctrines should be a barrier.

So, we should go around the world and criticize everyone else for the wrongs they are doing instead of minding our own business? Would that give us more conviction? Would causing wars over blasphemous concepts give us more conviction?

You can accept the existence of other religions and also accept the possibility that they may be correct and you may be wrong whilst still feeling that those religions are blasphemous according to your own belief system.

There is a big difference between the religious wars of the past and WWII. There is also a big difference between being tolerant of peoples beliefs and putting up with the evil actions of people. However, we are now leaving the scope of this thread. I would love to continue if you open a new thread.

Popularity dictates the truth.

It isn't really a religion in the sense that no one actually believes in the existence of the FSM. It is a parody of religion designed to illustrate why faith should not inform science lessons because the "it can't be proven wrong, therefore it is an equally valid theory as anything else" argument is a falsehood.

ppl will one day start a religion as the church of marvel and will view comics as factual religious stories believing that superman came to safe us.... spiderman was given power by the divine and not by chance. he misused it and from him we learned from great power comes great responsibility.

for we truely once lived in an age of wonder where man and gods walked side by side...

and the most famous of the apostles were the books of:

wolverine(the wicked outsider who longs for forgiveness from past deeds)
batman(the innocent well off who lost his parent sacrificed all in pursuit of justice)
spiderman(selfish child who caused his own misfortune from greed)
xmen( the chosen ppl who were prosecuted)

we most be pure and hope the great stan lee AKA jack kirby smile upon us once more and shower us in miracles where we will no longer misuse like the obsorbing man or venom did with there gifts..

That's actually not unrealistic, especially given the religious overtones of various comics.

I wonder what the people who wrote the bible would think of our current interpretation of their writing. They may look and us and laugh their asses off.

they might actually believed we attained godhood or reached heaven here on earth.......

No, I meant they might think that comics were our religion. They're full of god like figures and seem to be set in our world.

Fundamental misunderstanding of the theory of evolution? Attempt at levity? Misplaced emphasis on an 'evolving consciousness?'

I wasn't 'taking apart your sentence' (no matter what your immature psychoanalysis decided) I was drawing attention to what I hoped was a simple slip of the tongue; I didn't think that you were actually ignorant of the mechanics and workings of evolution, although I see now that you are. Don't take this as a slight- many intelligent people don't understand basic science.

i am well aware what it is you are pointing out i think it is pretty petty seeing that i can simply use another word like enlighten and you would understand... but the fact is you just cant let it go because i used evolved instead,,

Actually if you had said: "you would think we be more enlighten then that in a thousands yrs" someone would have just mocked your awful awful grammar and pointed out other flaws in the idea.

First off, two commas =/= a period. We had that same problem with a troll a while ago, and I sincerely hope you don't catch that affliction.

You need to understand that words have meanings. One can not just spout off whatever word comes to mind: using a word outside of the proper context and meaning causes confusion and inaccuracies. Your use of the word 'evolution' was erroneous, and I informed you. If you had used 'enlightened' instead then you would not have been in error, so I wouldn't have to spell this out for you. (Although, in actuality, the word 'enlighten' has spiritual connotations that you might want to avoid.)

Chaos: I'm trying to curb the Grammar Nazi impulse: I intentionally found something to criticize that wasn't an error in grammatical conventions.
