A little thought:

If I started wearing Pink Trousiers on a Monday and talking to my invisable mate in the sky called Len-and trying to get other people to do the same I'd be called Insane.

I millions of people wore Pink Trousiers on a Monday, talkied to there invisable freind called led and tried to get other people to do the same they'd be called a religion.

Is this proof that the diffrence between religion and insanity is numbers? Discuss

No, a divine diety of some sort would have to tell them to wear Pink trousers on a monday and put them in conctact with Len then have it all written down. It could be a religon

if millions of people went around in pink trousers etc. i wouldn't call it a religion, i'd call it insane, some sort of new fad, or some sort of cult

Why not a religion ? Assuming all the people *really* believe of course.

if 1 million people did that tomorow itd be called mass hysteria, if they did it 200 years ago it becomes divine intervention.

well it depends, if it happened just once or if it continued to happen over a loooong period of time

Nah, it wouldn't be a religion until they started telling their children to do it.

Christianity is beter worked out (it has moral prescriptions for instance) and has been around longer. It is "established".
However, if the amount of detail of your religion would be somewhat higher there is no philosophical difference.

Its pink pants and Lenny, now?

What happened to the other guy, with the thorns and puncture wounds?
Or the other guy, with the beard and the hat, or whatzit, the thing with chanting and incense?

I don't own pink pants.

My toe still hurts.
