Abominable Religions

Post by _mocnarf »

I would have to agree all religions are an abomination. If you were to rank them from most abominable to least abominable how would you rank them? My list would have to start with Islam.

Islam
Catholic
Eastern Orthodox
Greek Orthodox
Jewish Orthodox
etc

Mormonism would be near the least abominable on my list. Were would it rank on your list?

What would be the top three most abominable and the three least abominable on your list?

Islam at the top. Unitarian Universalist at the bottom. Everybody else in between. :lol:

I don't think Islam is at the top. I think radical Islam might be, but then radical anythingism is usually abhorrent.
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

Good point. Stalin's atheistic government probably killed more than Islam in its entire history.

Is the ranking based on size or policies. I think Mormonism would be much higher on the list if the craziness affected 500 million people world wide... 15 million, with 70% inactive isn't a very big force, Salt Lake City's propaganda notwithstanding.

Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Scientology and the Raelians are high up on my list.
