from what i understand, god jesus and "holy spirit" are all one- make up one god, and satan and all his helpers are not gods, they are "beings"...i dont know what u would call them, but theyre not gods. i think catholicism is monotheistic because they still only worship one god.





Yeah but you can pray to a particular Saint, right? They are immortal, self-conscious beings. St. Peter watches the Gates of Heaven (or is it St. Paul, I get them all confused). Satan is a different entity than God, isn't he?
Hell, let's get the Pope in here, he can straighten this mess out...

There is no church for my religion directly. But there are churches to worship any religion you see fit.
My religion doesn't have a name, really, anyway. I kindof, well, made it up. I didn't like any religions out there currently so I decided to tally everything I believed in and make it my own set of beliefs. I cannot believe in one god - so I decided to believe in more than one. I can't believe being gay is wrong - so it isn't.
It's derived from other religions (mythology and many many now defunct religions).
I don't believe one should have to go to church to worship - so I don't. I go when I'm feeling like I -especially- need help. Like, in an emergency, I'll head to a church because I feel that churches exist to create the feeling of community and togetherness and it feels more like your prayer would be answered.
I go there because it makes my prayer seem that much more important to my god-of-choice that moment and they are more likely to answer me. Most of my needs are not important enough for churches when I pray. But, such as wanting to stay in Australia and praying for citizenship - yeah I'll head to church for that. But to ask to get over a cold quicker?
I'm not pissing off my gods by wasting their time by making my prayer seem more important than it is.
My opinions, take 'em or leave 'em. My religious beliefs also tell me to accept everyone for who they are, even if you don't like my beliefs. ^-^





What I love are these fucking high school football teams praying before their games.
Like God is going to care if little Timmy's team wins...
I'd be pissed off, personally--where's a thunderbolt when you need one?

LOL Djoser where did that comment come from





That's right! I forgot about that...Originally Posted by JustJayda
Of course, praying to Satan is against all the rules--but people do pray to individual 'Patron Saints', don't they? Women pray to the Virgin Mary before giving themselves up for marriage? I saw a friend of mine do that and had to laugh, she sure wasn't a virgin herself!
But it would seem to me that if you can pray to someone other than God Himself, and expect some sort of attention, it's a kind of polytheism.
Of course i don't mean to attack catholics, I'm really speculating here, and having fun.
But it has been noted by historians that the unusually easy domination of Mexico's native Indian population was in large part due to religious parallels.

HAHAHAHA that's exactly what I mean! If I were a god I'd be damned pissed if someone went to church asking me to cure their son of headlice or something like that! I'd make the whole family have headlice for that prayer (hmmm... I wonder if they do that!).Originally Posted by Djoser
Which is why smaller prayers - at home and only to specific gods. Important prayers - at church and ONLY IN EMERGENCY to higher gods.
Yes, they have levels. >_>
This all began because I cannot, for the life of me, believe in anything 'perfect'. How the FRICK can god be perfect? he made us in his own image? So either he's fuckd up or he messed up making us - so he's not perfect.
My gods fuck up and are human-like with god-like entities. And it's much more logical for me. >_>
But in the end, no religion is really logical. >_>





It came from being forced to go watch some snotty cousins or another playing football, and watching them pray before the game, and thinking "I'm sure God is on pins and needles, trying to decide who's going to win this one!"Originally Posted by LuckiCharm
When you think about it, what kind of God is going to take the time to listen to all of the billion or so people praying for dumb things that aren't really important? On top of watching everything everyone else does so that they can be properly punished after they bite the Big One.
Even if you assume a God with that kind of power, is He going to waste all His time worrying about all the little petty concerns that mean so much at the moment to so many people, but really mean so little on the Cosmic Scale?
I'm willing to admit that I could be wrong when I doubt the existence of an All Powerful Being, but I do doubt very much that They would worry about all those fervent entreaties for petty, personal gain.
So it's funny to see them praying like that, yes...

St. Peter to Jayda, "No chance, young lady, you're not getting anywhere near here after that post on StripperWeb, on the night of May 27th, 2006--it's written down right here, see? You can join Djoser in Hell, he's waiting for you, and the Devil has a big steel yardstick for both of you."

Although Buddhism is a very old religion with many good ideals and philosophic principals most of the practicing Buddhist including the Monks can be relegated to some form of animism or good luck charms. Rarely do any practicing Buddhist follow the principles of Buddha or even know of their existence. Buddhism is a scam just like all other religions that is, supporting a clergy by dumb old women and pretending to offer immortal rewards.
