Catholics follow muslim footsteps
You know how Islam says that everyone is born a muslim and when you convert to Islam from another religion you actually revert to Islam? Well, the catholics have done the muslims one better, and have managed to issue an official vatican doctrine that makes everyone in the world catholic and thus eligable to salvation. Nice, huh? Now all I need is some Jewish Rabbi to say that we are all Jews and I am all set. There ain't noway they are keeping me out of heaven now. Satan, eat your heart out! Muhahahahahahah! On a side not, this is why despite my utter respect for religion*, I have no respect what so ever to "Men of God". They are just usually full of bullshit like that. Sorry. *I said I respect religion. That respect is not automatically extended to followers of those religions, especially the crazy ones.

I dunno. It would be cool. I suggested to my athiest friends that maybe they should worship Santa. It's easier than worshipping God, cause Santa will hand you gifts at a specific day via his followers and will only demand milk and cookies in return, and that's only once a year.And you still get the magical male daddy figure who lives in an unreachable remote location that watches you and knows who is good and who is bad on top of the gifts, so you don't feel alone. For a belief system, Santaism sounds good, u know?
Can we survive without the "noble lie"?
Personally, I am happy with capitolism, liberal sexuality, moderate materialism, and pot!
But for some people, they need a bit more to make it through the day.
And enduring systematic poverty, repression, and violence is a reasonable price to pay for the psychological satisfaction of moral absolution.
Then again, the fundementalist-athiest communists killed like what, 100 million between Russia and China alone.
Man, we all suck!!
If only religion were akin to citizenship, we may have had a solution: just give every human being all the fucking passports and be done with this shit.
"For a belief system, Santaism sounds good, u know?"
If you succeed to enforce it on the whole 6 (7?) billion bunch, why not?
I just hope a dyslexic reader doesn't read that and accuse me of being the loyal servant of the Dark Lord or something!
