2. I'm not so proud of my cognitive abilities to say I know all the answers.
I expect to be pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, keep expecting that. :whatever:

Now Agnostic. I do like reading about Hinduism and Buddhism though. They seem to be kinder, gentler religions and are sans fire and brimstone. I love the writings of JalÄl ad-DÄ«n Muḥammad RÅ«mÄ« also, and I find the Sufi philosophy soothing as well.

7. Unitarian Universalist
with pagan leanings
At that point why even bother?

It appears that most of the DUmmies will meet face-to-face, some day soon, with their idols Che, Mao, and Stalin.

And then there will come the call that all shall dread for eternity:
Break's over! Everybody back on your heads!

34. I absolutely CRINGE
with the thought of beginning any sentence with "God Hates" or "Jesus Hates"! The fundies say that all the time...They have NO idea what being Christian is all about!...God does NOT hate! Period! Fundies hate. God does not.
How many are in the Democrat Fred Phelps group now? 70 or 80, if you count their kids? :thatsright:

16. Not to mention the soft porn in Song of Solomon;)
I never understood why that was left in there... unless someone in King James band of merry editors just didn't get it...
Oh, we get it alright. Now, go back to wondering why fundies have more kids... :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

67. All of the above?
I believe in all of them. Not that they are right, merely that they exist.
I believe in the existence of all gods. They all exist in my head, just like the word "abstract", the existence of which word I also believe in.
Today, I think I'm leaning toward Hinduism emotionally... but the Flying Spaghetti Monster is pencilled in for later this week (about the only God who can reconcile the absurdity of listening to McCain try to make sense in a debate...).
Finally, someone who makes Charlie Brown seem smart and decisive instead of wishy-washy! :lmao: :rotf:

What does that even mean? :mental:

What does that even mean? :mental:
It means - as evidenced by that fact that it is a DUmmy, after all - that it'll believe just about anything you tell it, so long as you say it convincingly.

Take a look at the poll now. It says a lot about the DUmp:

And to think they believe they are representative of America. They aren't even close to what the actual make-up of the country is.

Considering between 70% and 80% of America respond to 'Christian', depending on who's doing the polling, they're almost exactly the INVERSE of "Representative of America".

God hates sin.
