Oh... I see. I doubt bumperstickers is a good carreer to go into . At first I thought you said "bumsuckers". I got confused.

As if I should write Methodists are bumsuckers.
Just punched myself on the face...

Coolio bumsuckers.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Heck yeah...I doubt I'll ever be gone (I'm like The Force).

Yes, I noticed I accidentally posted it here, but I second guessed myself and thought that someone might have moved it.


I'll move it to the Terrestrial then.


Thanks friend :)

Why do you think Christianity is just as ridiculous -and false-as Mormonism?


I think it presupposes things that are manifestly false, as does Mormonism.

There will always be doubts and questions even if the big man came down himself and told the entire world. Because then we would doubt our sanity. Or if it really was God. Loads of things. Just take what feels right to you and live by that. We all have such different views that really there cannot possibly ever be a perfect religion.

But back to the topic. I thought Mormonism was Christianity. Or maybe you mean like methodists. Those guys are coolio.


To quote Sam Harris, "Mormonism, it seems to me, is—objectively—just a little more idiotic than Christianity is. It has to be: because it is Christianity plus some very stupid ideas."

The rest of Christianity....hmmmm....

They'll help you if you're aiming for the Terrestrial.

Wouldn't one also expect to find Hitler, Jim Jones, Stalin and Richard Nixon in the Terrestrial?

Actually I expect the majority of humanity to wind up in the Telestial.

Will you list examples of that?
