Jehovah's Witnesses . . . don't celebrate birthdays, Christmas, Easter, etc. They can't say the Pledge of Allegiance, and I don't think they are allowed to have blood transfusions. It's just plain kooky.

Yeah and the two man/two woman tag teams show up on my porch on the weekend and I have to tell my kids to "Be quiet, don't answer the door!!!!!" If you try to be nice and greet them at the door, they won't leave and then send more Jehovah's Witnesses back every weekend. One does the talking and the other offers physical persistence in not getting out of the way.

They also ambush me in the supermarket parking lots. I'm pushing my cart, fussing at the same above kids, and some tag team of strangers approach me, from behind out of nowhere. This scares the hell out of me, because I usually think I am astute of my surroundings. Its like they have the super power of visibility/invisibility.

Any religion that has elements of ambush to encourage new recruits is spooky to me.

Jehovah's Witness is definitely a crazy religion.

When I was a child I remember my father punching a Jehova Witness out on my back porch for frightening the shit out of my mother. The cops came and everything.

who are the folks at the mall, airport, etc. that wear wooden sandwich advertising boards on their bodies that say the end of the world is coming?

there seem to be a few of them around...

People like this make me glad that I'm armed!

Scientologists believe aliens came to earth and reproduced with apes, creating humans [read 'Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology]. That's pretty crazy, but Islam takes it for evil craziness.

If you have been to Iraq, you know that we need to exterminate these rabid dogs. Not imperialism, just common sense - THEY WANT TO KILL US.

Islama Bin Laden said: Americans are different from us. They love life. We love death.

IF THAT'S WHAT THEY LOVE, LET'S GIVE TO THEM !!!!!

So am I. When they wouldn't stop coming to my door, even though I asked politely, I developed a plan.

The next time they came to my door, I said "Hold on, I'll be right there!", took ALL my clothes off, then opened the door. Boy, you should've seen the look on their faces - priceless.

They never came back after that.

WRONG- See you don't know much about Christianity b/c you have never read beyond the Old Testiment. For the record- Christianity didn't exist until Jesus rose from the dead. His resurrection & the belief in Jesus being the Son of God is where Christianity began. Therefore before His death there was no such thing as "Chistianity." Not blaming Jews but they were the predominant religion at Jesus' trial.

I'd have to say the Jim Jones cult and we are all followeres in some ways and don't realize it. God bless the souls of the deceased, but drinking the Kool Aid, still permeates our society. Look at most of the pharma managers and the reps who want to be pharma managers. Kool Aid drinkers, every single one of them.

And if you don't drink with them or atleast pretend, so that you can get up when the coast is clear, they will kill your career. Next thing you know, you're living in a van down by the river.

Catholocism. The priests are all gay pedophiles, you can't have sex before marraige, you can't use birth control. There is no other religion in the world that forces their "servants" to never have sex and be "married to god". That is crap!!! Human beings have hormones. We are meant to procreate. It is neither natural nor healthy to be celebate your entire life.

And no birth control? I see, we should all get married young, have lots of babies, and raise them all catholic. Spread the religion. That's why they promote the religion so hard-core in third-world and developing nations, where people are less educated and more gullible. The catholic church just wants to go back to the middle ages, when the church was the state, they charged everyone "tariff" (which is where they get the passing of that basket on sundays) and they basically ruled the world.

I have never seen a more manipulative "religion" that changes rules and interperts texts to suit their own needs, and then says it's what "god wants." I was actually raised catholic, until i called their bluff at 11 years old. Read the history of the religion, the spanish inquistion, even DaVinci's Code (yes, I know it's not all true, but does offer a lot of historical facts that are true).

When your philosophy hinges on belief in some unproven, invisible, all powerful, all knowing, diety or dieties; I think you have serious issues thinking logicaly and taking responsibility for your own actions.

Once you have adopted that bit of lunacy, everything else, the wierd robes, rituals and rules all seem rather sane.

[/ QUOTE ] It is easier for me to believe in GOD as a supreme being than to accept that all this crap around us is the result of a huge accident/co-incidence combined with evolution. Just as an example have a scientist explain breast placement on Mammals: humans/primates-->two up front; elephants-->two up front behind the front legs; horses, sheep,and goats-->two between the BACK legs; Cows-->udder with 4 teats between the back legs;dogs/cats/pigs,etc-->multiple on the chest to the lower abdomine; seals, dolphin, and whales designed to allow for nursing under water. Plants suck in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen while animals do just the opposite allowing both to survive on this little blue and green marble floating around in space-----yeah, just a big bang, primordial ooze, a bolt of lightning, and an amoeba-like organism is suddenly THERE that evolves into fish, monkeys, lizards, snakes, horses, humans, dogs, cats----SURE, that is really logical and easy to believe. I will trust that GOD (whomever, wherever, whatever He is, has somehow always been and always will be) created us. I will take Adam and Eve over evolution from microbes and monkeys any day.

Step away from "organized religion" and study the Word of God apart form the opinions and interpretations of "Church" biased translation. The reason there are so many different religions and sects within religions is due mostly to mis-interpretation of the original Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic scriptures. Do your own study and when you come across a passage you do not quite understand, do not just ask ONE person from ONE religion: ask several including non-religious language scholars who can explain what the words meant in the original languages when they were written.
AND, the Book does tell you to be responsible or your own actions. The Doctrine of Free Will explains a ton and helps in the understanding of bad things happening to good people.

That kind of crap happens in every religion. It happens in government, too. Just don't blame Jesus. We are human and are predisposed to be sinful.

The question was which religion is the craziest. I am a Christian, but have studied all religions. I think any extreme or fundamental sect of a religion is crazy. Fundamental Baptist or some Church of God/Pentacostal is extreme with the "no pants" rule for women, and the talking in tongues (which I have witnessed), and no drinking alcohol, etc. Those are just people who have taken things from the bible to the "extreme". The Jehovah's witness group is the most extreme with the crazy blood transfusion and not celebrating holidays.

But, by far the craziest "religion" is Mormonism and Scientology. Mormons believe that we are all Gods and that there are other planets with many "Gods". It is defined as a cult because once you leave, you are done, not to ever be able to come back or see your family. Scientology is just glorified Amway, except you don't have to sell toilet paper or cleaners. Scientology is scary because it teaches that we are all "higher power" for ourselves. The majority of it is motivational speaking. Just ask pastor Tom Cruise!!!

Millions of years (yes, sorry Charlie the world really is that old) of selection answers things quite nicely. So little time, so much to say about your clap trap. I'll just mention one. Since the languages your referring to are dead, how do you know that the "experts" know what they mean. In fact, since language isn't precise there are different interpretations. Moreover, the book which you refer to was written by many people over thousands of years. Much easier to believe in things that are than fabrications to explain why things are. More power to Zeus!!!

Wow! Way to misinform. Yes, Mormons believe that there are other Gods of other universes, and that they can eventually become Gods, but honestly, that's no more bizarre than the Christian belief that God sending his son to earth can redeem the sins of man, when God should be powerful enough to "redeem" them without having a Son... and how much of a sacrifice is it anyway for God to send his only begotten Son to die if being omniscient, he already knows that he won't really die?

Also, it is patently false that when Mormons leave the church, they can't see their families. Where do you even come up with this crap? Ex-communicated Mormons can even rejoin the church. You may think they have weird beliefs, but they're just another religion, not a cult. All religions are bizarre.

Bartender brings the beer and the guy ask him what he thinks about the situation in Iraq. Bartender says--Man, don't talk polotics in this bar: it starts fights and these guys break up my bar. Guy says fine and finishes his beer.
Bartender comes over and asks if he needs another beer. The guy says sure, and asks if he watched the Packers game. Bartender says---Don't talk about sports here. It starts fights and they tear up my bar.
Third beer. Guy asks what the barkeep thinks about the new Pope. Same answer---fights, bar destroyed.
So the guy asks -- Is it okay to talk about SEX here? Barkeep say sure--no problem there.
Guy respond: Great. FUCK YOU!! I'm out of here.

I think the craziest group of "religous" people were the Moonies. On campuses they claimed to be Carp a Christian group and brainwashed their members by limiting their protein intake. Years ago I had a very cute Moonie come to my Apt door one Sat. morning soliciting for money. I let my robe slip open "accidently" showed my johnson and told the young girl I would buy all her books or whatever else she was selling if she went up stairs with me and screwed me. I kept it up and almost got her to agree that Rev Moon would want her to give it all for the Unification Church. Unfortunately her handler came down my driveway and told her the bus was leaving the neighborhood. C'est la vie

The Branch Davidians win hands down in comtemporary history. Remember their leader, "David Koresh" who decided that "Koresh" was the last name of God, and of course, he was therefore a relative of GOD.

Janet Reno burned them out in a tragedy, but not before Koresh convinced all the adult women in his cult that their pre-teen daughters needed a special "anointment" with his sperm, and that everyone had to sign over their life's possession to HIM. And that's only the highlights, truly amazing what grown men and women will get conned into doing in the name of religion!

Catholic - Let's think this over: A bunch of guys wearing hats and robes sit around a room in Italy and get 'guidance from above' which they impart to the world via their network of male and female henchmen. The male henchmen get so depraved following this special 'guidance from above' which comes in the form of advising them that their penis is NOT to be used with a woman (huh?) that they foist themselves on innocent boys, ruin lives, rob them of their innocence and when this is discovered, their leaders use their followers' tithes to move the pawns to another area and cover it up. The female henchmen wear frightening costumes, further perpetrate the absurd notion that they have been given an organ NOT to be used or enjoyed then set an example for women that denies femininity. The religion is - at best - a sick combination of paganism (for its ritual) and sadism (for its denial of the god-given, fundamental beauty and joy of life). Plus they get a tax break! Absolutely disgusting !!!

Scientology doesn't come across as a religion. It appears to be a way that those in Hollywood use to put themselves above "others" & is a business. It is sad that only "certain" Scientologist are allowed to go to The Scientology Center with the rich & Hollywood folks. Sounds elitist to me

P.S.- Catholics are not the only religion that gets tax brakes. Most land that is documented as religious land is not taxed.

Yeah, but with Catholicism you have to go to confession and get the forgiveness through a priest. You may want to check out some of the crazier bible thumpers; they eliminate the middleman when it comes to the forgiveness.

Jealousy. Maybe they got it right. They don't recruit and there's really no "benefit" to being a Jew. They don't believe in hell, so no scare tactics. They believe in being good for the sake of being good. They are pretty much non-violent. Shit, they rarely ever fight back. The world shits on them yet they persist and thrive if not murdered. Maybe some are annoying, but hey I can live with that. But, their eradication is much closer every year. Why?

It's like the planet of the apes, the human became so civilized they lost the ability to protect themselves from the evolving apes. First it's the Jews (almost eradicated), now it's the Western World. Westerners are now the humans and the Muslims are the apes. The humans lost if I recall.

[/ QUOTE ] what if you were God, the supreme being referred to in Bible, Torah, etc and wanted to create a solar system? We are talking all knowing, all being, all seeing, unlimited intellignece and ability, okay? Couldn't you create a place that gives the appearance of age just to mess with the minds of the un-believers? And the second most powerful being, Satan, could mess with stuff just to confuse the borderline believers and weak Christians, Evolution--couldn't a supreme being such as the One I know as GOD, design anyhing any way he wanted and couldn't Satan mess with prt of that creation? That could explain fossils, similarities between man and ape with no current continuing evolution. Why are there no "in betweens" in the evolutionary process from ape to man, and no more creatures moving from the sea to land, no more species of reptile learning to fly, etc?

I am not trying to convert anyone--just posing an interesting question of "what if" to give folks something to think about: And of course to write a bunch of clap trap about on this site.

I'll bite. And I'm not trying to be mean, some of my best friends are Christians. To "mess with" the minds of un-believers would be a trait of cruelty. Like frying an ant with a magnifying glass. A truly loving God wouldn't let a Satan interfere with his relationship anymore than I would let a pedophile babysit my children. Rich Mullins had it right, the real threats to Christianity today are Christians. Also, there are many in-betweens in the evolutionary process, it's just many Christians turn a blind eye to them.

I tell you this, Typlexia is almost as frustrating as Dyslexia. If you have BOTH, it is damn near impossible to proof read your work because it ALL looks right and wrong at the same time. Glad to have furnished a bit of humor for you.
A Masters in theology means you know a lot of stuff about a lot of religions, cults, and sects: it does not, however qualify you as an expert on any of them.
I am not an expert on Christianity, but am a Believer who has studied with the assistance of a very good Pastor-Teacher and have learned a lot of stuff I should have learned as a kid; unfortunately I attended a church that was good at "recruiting and converting" but not so good at teaching. This leaves me playing catch-up but with a much better understanding of why things happen the way they do on earth.

A wise man, Michael Savage, explains it like this:

He sees the religions and lack thereof, as all spokes on a wheel. All, if you are a "good" person, leading to the center which is God/heaven/something better. No one religion is better than the other, including atheism. If you lead a good life, even as an atheist, that spoke of belief leads to the center hub, God. He believes there must be a creator and the creator is a fair God thereby allowing latitude for your beliefs. It's the best explanation I've ever heard.

Sacred hurts
Married in church: Who will bless this union?

Editor, The Times:

I am one of more than 120 married Roman Catholic priests in the Seattle/Tacoma area. If I were a gay man, I would still be in the corporate priesthood of the church ["Vatican: Seminaries must ban active gays from the priesthood," Times, News, Nov. 23].

It is my firsthand experience that gay culture is the predominant political force in the priesthood — a culture fully yet tacitly supported by the church's hierarchy. The sheer volume of gay sexual activity and associated internal politics pushed me out of my chosen vocation to be a parish priest.

With great personal loss, I left that conflicted lifestyle over 20 years ago and married. I believe I acted with integrity. Like so many victims of clergy sexual abuse, few believed me when I tried to explain what happened and why I couldn't continue in the institutional priesthood.

I believe that Pope Benedict hopes his calculated crusade strategy against homosexual applicants will allay the faithful's fears that they are supporting a large and thriving neighborhood of the gay community within their own beloved celibacy-vowed clergy.

Until we achieve societal hospitality and equal rights for gay and lesbian people, the Roman Catholic priesthood will continue to be a fortress-protected safe haven for a persecuted sexual minority.

Until married men and women are welcomed to become priests, the priesthood will remain a dynamic career choice for gay men in search of a well-funded lifestyle where they can easily find the love and partnership they deserve.

___ Awesome response and thanks. I was the poster preceding the one you responded to. Isn't it interesting how Neo cons resort to epithets when responding? Funny thing is, I'm a registerd Republican but - this W guy has changed the defn of what that is. Look at the SLEAZE he poured on McCain (a vet who saw COMBAT) in So Carolina. The disservice he's given to the country is - by doing what he's doing, he is self focused in the now and putting the next potential Rep candidates in a hole up to their shoulders. Dick Cheney is lining his pockets and doesn't really care what happens down the road - he's got 'protection'. You can stick a fork in the next 2 elections - they're done!

They just kept their Roman pagan rituals and adapted them to add Jesus. December 25 was a Roman Sun holiday and in 4 AD they just switched it over to celebrate Jesus' birthday. Whom by all acounts was born in the springtime. Catholicism is more of a cult worshipping idols and demi-gods. That's how they so easily "converted" the natives in the new world and africa. The natives had little to change from their polytheistic beliefs for an exchange of being allowed to live or to to be fed by the Pope.
