Didn't know you were Polish?

Also, you're poll lacks the "none" option. Among many others.

I dont see one..

I made a pole.

Now we just need an impure woman - A.K.A. a stripper - to dance around it.

EDIT: Why are all the good jokes taken before I finish typing?

I made a pole.

Aah, a simple pole in a complex plane.

You left out atheist, agnostic and don't give a damn.

I made a pole.

How long is it?

You needed to add options for Atheist, Agnostic, and None of the above. And going by number of adherents at least, their should probably be at least one or two others on that list if you're including Judaism.

Personally, I'm agnostic.

pagan.

I worship Thor, and smite my enemies in his name.

pagan.

Atheism =/= paganism.
Agnosticism =/= paganism
Poles =/= Mexicans

This might take some time...

those r mexicans.
:tongue:

pagan.

Last I checked, atheist and agnostic are no more pagan than Hinduism, at least coming from a Christian perspective.

Just what definition of pagan are you using here?

pagan.

No. Pagans believe in the existence of a deity or dieties. An atheist doesn't believe there is a deity. An agnostic doesn't know if there's a deity or not. I don't give a damn.

Atheism =/= paganism.
Agnosticism =/= paganism

To answer your question: Catholic, nonpracticing.

another Thor worshiper

pagan.

Nope, Pagan involves believing in gods (number and form varies), athiest don't believe in any gods and agnostics haven't made their minds up. Really not the same thing. Hence need for 'no religion' option of some degree.

pagan.

No, sweetheart, he's referring to people who don't believe that there are any gods whatsoever, and to people who believe that there's no way of knowing.
Not to people who believe in this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan).

pagan.

So you lump people who believe in a whole bunch of gods together with those who do not believe in any and those who are just not sure?

Wouldn't in this case it be of much more sense if you'd lump atheists and Monotheists together?
At least they are on the same line in all but one option.

No, wait! I worship BEER!

:gas:

Oh, thanks for reminding me.

Gas masks =/= Carpets

I think I'm going to start worshiping Vanishing_shame.

"And, lo, on the Thursday Vanishing_shame made a pole, and it was not a mexican."

You also forgot Buddhism which has between 250 - 500 million followers. which is a lot more than Paganism...

Yes, you made a "pole" indeed.
Uh, quite.

But you need to acknowledge the vast pantheon of other faiths that exist, and not simply brandish them "pagan." And indeed, add "atheist," "agnostic," etc.

This is going to take a loooooong time to get through I'll wager.

Tis a rather imbalanced poll - three Abrahamic beliefs, one Dharmic, and one generalised other, w/ no tip o' the hat to other belief systems or non-belief systems....

Weak, verah weak...

I worship Thor, and smite my enemies in his name.

But Superman caught Mjolnir and then knocked Thor OUT!

I voted Christian 'cause I'm a Mormon.

...who reads comic books.

I voted Christian, 'cause as an Atheist I decided that having just one god is close enough to having none. At least closer than Hinduism or Paganism.

I think I'm going to start worshiping Vanishing_shame.

"And, lo, on the Thursday Vanishing_shame made a pole, and it was not a mexican."
hmmm... this could be a start of a good thing...

When the Fuck did that happen? Superman is suseptable to magic, so Mjolnir would've just knocked supes on his butt. and I'll be Fucking damned if Supes is 'worthy'.

Fail poll is fail.

I made a pole.
And left off areligious as a choice :rolleyes:

When the Fuck did that happen? Superman is suseptable to magic, so Mjolnir would've just knocked supes on his butt. and I'll be Fucking damned if Supes is 'worthy'.

It was when the Justice League and the Avengers did a crossover. When Thor first threw Mjolnir at Superman it knocked him on his arse, but later on when they were going at it Superman was ready and as Thor swung downward with Mjolnir Superman caught the blow in his left hand and punched Thor in the face with his right. The result of the fight was both of them knocked silly.

Later they became friends as the real treat was revealed, and Thor granted Superman the use of Mjolnir to bust through a shield wall p rotecting the villain... This after Captain America loaned his shield to Superman for the battle.

So Superman wielding Cap's Shield AND Mjolnir. Epic.

After the battle Superman tried to lift Mjolnir to return it to Thor but by then the need was over and he couldn't budge it.

pagan.
NOT the same as atheist, agnostic, or don't give a damn, sorry.

I made a pole.
Is it a stiff pole?

*clears throat*

Uhum... I should go back to that history book.

Some would call me pagan, but I'm not exactly interested in standing around in circles holding hands, nor do I give a damn about seasons, nor do I pretend my religion is much older than it is. And those things do seem to matter a lot to the other pagans I know in real life.

The following labels fit: polytheist, eclectic, discordian, unitarian universalist.

Did you take your helmet off to make your pole?

I voted Jewish because Im hoping that Ill suddenly become a hilarious investment banker.

Christian? I feel like that's a little too all encompassing? Also, no atheist option?

Fail poll is fail.

Fail pole is not mexican.

Heh.

Indeed.

:D

Phail Ptroll is phail ptroll....

There's no Heathen option?! If you're leaving out Atheist, Deist, polytheist and every other brand of non-religious belief, and religious belief, including to, and not limited to mysticism, Shintoism, Daoism (Taoism), Sikhism et cetera...

Such limited option. Alas! Woe is me! I am but a Heathen; an atheist and I can't even find a poll option to scream to the world about how I'm going to hell in a handbasket because I won't reform my sinful ways...

What religion are you?

Nobody is a religion.

I guess I'm somewhere between agnosticism and animism.

I'm a solipsist and I disagree, figment of my imagination.

What's animism?

Animism (from Latin anima (soul, life)) is a philosophical, religious or spiritual idea that souls or spirits exist not only in humans and animals but also in plants, rocks, natural phenomena such as thunder, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities of the natural environment, a proposition also known as hylozoism in philosophy. Animism may further attribute souls to abstract concepts such as words, true names or metaphors in mythology. Religions which emphasize animism are mostly ethnic religions or folk religions, such as the various forms of Shamanism, Shinto, or certain currents of Hinduism.

Throughout European history, philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, among others, contemplated the possibility that souls exist in animals, plants and people.

In my interpretation, it's basically Force-ism, except without lightning and choking.

It's one of the most basic and primitive kinds of religion. Very good for people who don't like to think about religion too much.

True, but you could always go atheist and not have any gods.

You could help it, by not cutting corners on the Ring of Isengard Energy Budget. For one thing, the corners you are cutting are so minimal as to not mean anything on the bottom line. For another, they are actually counter-productive since you wind up having to explain why you don't type 4% of everything you say, over and over again. And no explanation will really suffice, so it's a vicious cycle and it ends with DOOOOOOM.

Lastly, I make sure to recycle my snot boogers because they probably contain trace amounts of recyclable mineral resources and I'm doing my part to save the world.

Lol. It's "allowed".
Arghhhhhhhh! I hate English.

No, we'd just find something else to hate, like clowns.

Religion did not cause whites to hate Indians or Blacks, nor does it cause some Indians and Blacks to hate whites.

Religion does not cause the Japanese to hate the Koreans.

Religion does not cause Liberals and Conservatives to hate each other.

The poor do not hate the rich because of religion.

Religion is one factor, only one, there hundreds of others.

It would seem that we're hardwired for hate, we just need excuses. Religion provides an excuse, as do ethnicity, social class, financial status, political orientation, sexual orientation....

(my answer: athiest... not pagan)

Mormon all the way!

where's the "other" option?

my "religeon" is that of attempting to avoid deceiving myself.

it does not assume the existence or non-existence of anything, nor deny the existence of any possibility.

it has no other name, nor needs any. it recognizes the very real possibility of there being something close enough for government work to being a god, while also recognizing the very real probability that what any organized belief pretends to know about it is mostly smoke and mirrors.

I'm totally against religion, because of the fact that it creates war and hate.
It's used as an excuse, not an underlying cause -______-
Hitler's hate for Jewish people created WW2.
I'm pretty sure it was more due to the economic necessity of using the very expensive military he'd created along with Goebbels, and the main reason he got into power was not because the Germans were really not into Judaism, but more because the largest alternative to the NSDAP was the communist party, and as everyone knows, Communism Is A Bad Thing.
Roman Catholicism created hate for gays.
Protestantism won in the UK. Still not all that gay-friendly.
If there was no religion, there would be a whole less hate.
Nah people would just be divided by some other abstract element in their lives.



Anyway, I'm an atheist.

Where's the "None" option?:confused:

I'm Atheist. Therefore I have no religion, and thus I have no option on this poll.
