Well, here is #51 :D

None of the above.

None of the above.

Unfortunalty that is not an option, and thus your post is discredited.

None of them, although Scientology sounds way cooler than the other two.

After all, Jesus wasn't killed by a nuke in a volcano, and Mohammed wasn't a space alien.

Christian. Scientology especially because of us being brought over to earth by a converted 747 or whatever just seems crazy...

Unfortunalty that is not an option, and thus your post is discredited.

Well, it's a trick question though, isn't it? They're all perfectly dreadful.

I voted Scientology.

Because it actually is more believable.

Christianity, because it's been more successful at growing up and away from that "burn/kill the infidels" phase than Islam in the past few centuries. Plus, there are some Christian writers and philosophers who I highly respect even though I don't share their beliefs.

There seems to be quite a lot of Atheists in this forum.

None of those four is in any way believable, especially the fourth one. :p

Oh snap! :p

Well now, the fourth one depends on Zilam's gender: if female, then it's believable to me; if male, then I don't believe that one.:p

Scientology, but I chose to vote for the sexy arse option, because really, it's mighty fine.

Christianity, though the bible is written like a big story, everyone knows that the bible isn't exactly what happened in our history, let us see what the scientists will tell us next.

Scientology is weird like shit, damn i can't believe people actually follow it.

Quoted for mother fucking truth, motherfucker.


motherfucker.

I always think I should form some clique for the nameless but then never do...

...mostly because I have no idea what I'd call it...

motherfucker.

I like cheese, motherfucker.

Each are believable, depending of course on what and how much illegal herbage you have smoked recently.

I like cheese, motherfucker.
As do I motherfucker Cheese is scrum-diddly-umptious

I think people are forgetting that the question wasn't "which is really great?" It was, "Which is MOST believable." ...that's why I voted for "sexy arse."

what religion is more beliveble? what do you mean?

beliveble as in the stories could have happened in real life or beliveble as working ideology?

personally i belive its all fictional made up to give hope in times of need and guide people so that they could live in a working community (even if the leader at certain times was an a-hole).



the ideas of religion is sound, the practise has sometimes (and a few times to many imo) been crap though.

IMO scientology doesn't even belong in the same poll when you are talking about religions. Before I ever knew of the hub bub about scientology (or any of the other religions for that matter) and all the crap about Hubbard I took out a scientology book from my library because I was curious. He made sense in some ways when he was talking about psychology, but some of the things he said, and then when it got to the part about aliens, I got the feeling it was a bunch of bull, put it down and that was that. I also didn't know at that time it was actually a religion or belief to some people. Many years ago.
As far as Islam is concerned I've never really studied up on it (not that you can study faith, you can only study what certain people do with certain faiths) because I have no need to. I did read up a little on Farrakhan recently and the 5%.. which I believe is a detoured sect like the Jehova Witnesses and countless others are to Chrisitanity. Upon reading up on the NOI I found out about some mother ship and the guy that taught about it(not mohommad). There is a debate as to whether this guy who he says he was. The fed followed him and kept tabs on him as they do almost every damn body, and they are the ones that say he isn't who he is. I don't know .. nor do I know if it makes a bit of a crap in Islam.

What I don't understand is why you chose Chrisitanity, Islam and Scientology for this poll. And not Chrisitianity, Islam and Judaism..or Buddhism .. Hinduism.

In other words, I'm wanting to know what your motivation was in making this poll.. what you were thinkign when you chose those 3 (if what I said above wasn't clear enough)

Christianity, because it's been more successful at growing up and away from that "burn/kill the infidels" phase than Islam in the past few centuries. Plus, there are some Christian writers and philosophers who I highly respect even though I don't share their beliefs.

uhg... sounds like you judge people depending on their religion... unless those writers and philosophers religion shine through in their work.


and "burn/kill the infidels" (thats an exxageration right?) is a small minority of fundamentalists kinda similar to the christian fundamentalists that is whining about gods punishment just because america lets homosexuals into the military.

I think people are forgetting that the question wasn't "which is really great?" It was, "Which is MOST believable." ...that's why I voted for "sexy arse."

But we never saw it! :p

The Super Adventure Club had a more believable idea than any of these...

...Sorry, Zilam, but I've never seen your ass, so I can't comment. And I don't wanna have to comment ever. :p

I voted Scientology.

Because it actually is more believable.

Agreed. Christianity and Islam both rely on the existence of supernatural beings with supernatural powers. Scientology just believes in very advanced aliens with silly spaceships.

Scientologists also believe in the supernatural, if I remember right. The ghosts of those vaporized aliens are floating around, etc.

Also, L. Ron's stories were set on Earth something like a trillion years ago, i.e., before the Earth existed. At least we can independently verify that the Earth existed when Jesus and Mohammed lived. :p

well heck, yall, I'm a baptist and i believe in ghosts n stuff. its not mutually exclusive. christians believe in like aliens and ghosts and stuff and its because we believe god made em.

Islam by far.

Computerology, on the other hand, has no fake shit in it.

I am a true believer, may I be rewarded with a box of dry goods and medicine!

"Zilam has one sexy arse" is more believable than the others.

I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I think all three are equally silly. Sorry, I can't vote.

Quoted for mother fucking truth, motherfucker.


motherfucker.

No, that would be QFMFT,MF!

*shakes head*
Ni!

I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I think the study on transubstantiation really ties up the loose ends on that one, and if that weren't enough, the part about vestiges.
*nods emphatically*

I like cheese

I like Ched, Cheesus and the Cheesiah, the Swiss Trinity of Cheese.

I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Are you one of their religous leaders? If so, which one: Pirate or Ninja?

As do I motherfucker Cheese is scrum-diddly-umptious

Cheese is believeable. It is one of the greatest pleasures in life, which is why France is so wonderful.
Therefoe the answer has to be 'Christianity' because Zilam doesn't sound like a French name.

I think we need photographic evidence of Zilam's arse to really be sure.

The sexiness of Zilam's arse, at least, is founded on measurable, real facts. Other options fail at that.

Well thank you sir for comparing the world's two largest religions to a cult formed on a drunken bet by a second-rate sci-fi writer...

of zilam i am completely ignorant. the other three are mostly full of shit.
(and less believable then any reasonably well written real science fiction)
not that i have any problem with big, friendly and nontangable, but rather with any priesthood or belief having the slightest idea what the hell the're talking about, about it, beyond common sense deductions that can be made by anyone, such as that if it intended us any particular harm, knew we existed, and was anything like what any organized belief claims it to be, it would be highly unlikely that we would be existing to have this conversation.

Indeed. The one is as incredible as the other two.

of zilam i am completely ignorant. the other three are mostly full of shit.

I bet that a some times of the day Zilam's arse is in the same condition.:D
