Suebob's Red Stapler: The best religions

22 September 2010

The best religions

Ranked in order from best to worst.
1. Buddhism
2. Neo-paganism
3. Judaism (reform)
4. Hinduism
5. Baha'i
6. Christianity (non-Catholic)
7. Islam
8. Confucianism
9. Animism
10. Catholic Christian

Is anyone NOT offended? I hope not.

Here's what puzzles me, and the point I'm clumsily trying to make - we get most angry and exercised about the BELIEFS we hold. Beliefs that cannot be proven by any empirical method. Does that strike anyone else as odd?

Renee - Doesn't count

Mimbles and Mary Flashlight - that's exactly what what I would expect from heathens like y'all.; 5:45 AM

People get too kerfuffled by what other people think and don't spend enough time owning their own beliefs.

My personal version of I'm OK/You're OK: I'm not wrong and neither are you.; 7:42 AM

Denise said...: I'm not offended - I'm happy to be in the top 5, lol (#3 more specifically, though I'm Reconstructionist and not Reform but I'll assume you meant all forms of liberal Judaism).

My husband had an acquaintance (a conservative Christian) ask him if we (i.e., 'the Jews') sit around bashing Christianity all the time. WTF? No, amazingly, we really don't devote entire portions of our religious worship or discussion time worrying about what other religions are doing/believing. It's not all about you, Sparky.

@BarnMaven and @Mary_Flashlight: I agree totally.; 12:02 PM
J said...: I haven't figured out if there's a religion that I might adopt. Thus far, no go. Of course, atheism isn't a religion, but it's the number one on my list.; 1:30 PM
