A rational approach for a religious man would be to state the following:
"I am a catholic because I believe it is the one with highest probability of being true.

...This is way more realistic.. but religious folks dont think

[/ QUOTE ]

so the rational catholic says "every day i experience God's amazing power in my life through my relationship with him ...probably."

who doesn't think?

Circumcision is not a bad thing. i think that it is more sanitary. And like MMMMMM said, it's not the same.

Genital mutilation is done to females to deny them sexual pleasure. This is not Jewish boys have a bris. The males can still have sexual pleasure.

One has also been denounced as a human rights abuse, and it's not the bris, it's the one practiced by some Muslims.

I have heard people talk about how circumcision is cruel and should be banned. I think that's just stupid.

Okay this post has no relation to "Politics" but since there is no religion forum here it goes.

I felt like posting my list of Top Ten worst religions.



1- Islamism
Description: No freedom, female genital mutilation, produces lots of terrorists, does not like western culture

2- Hinduism
Description: Ugly symbols (elephants, woman with multiple arms, etc) Only people from India believe in it..

3- Catholics
Description: Uses fear to gain followers (hell, devil, punishment, etc), does not like sex/pleasure/etc, everything is a sin and god is evil because he punishes for almost everything.

4- Evangelicals
Description: follows the bible to the letter, does not believe in evolution, big bang or science. Against technology. (plus all things on the descriptions of Catholics)

5- Mormons
Description: Don't know the story but I saw a joke about it on a SouthPark episode and it was pretty lame

6- Judaism
Description: everything is sin, no sex, etc. Similar to catholics except here, earning money and being rich is good (not a sin).

7- Protestants
Description: Light version of Catholic?

8- Raelians
Description: check rael.org, not a good story. Goofy pentagram with spiral as symbol

9- Spirituals
Description: Omg these are the worst. Healing crystals, pyramids, witchcraft, wicca, etc. 2nd quality religions. Not good enough to become mainstream

10- African religions
Description: invented evil "voodoo" stuff.. not good at all

PS: these are NOT arranged in any order
---------------------------------------------------

Would like to know YOUR top ten lists.. and maybe give me some more information on the religions (I know very little about each one of them).

[/ QUOTE ]

hmmm...okay...i haven't read this thread yet, only the OP, and also i am not particularly "religious," but, wow, i can't believe the broad, negative generalizations that you associate with many of these religions...hoping this is just a joke

Do you know anything about Judaism? Guess not

I love this thread. People take one of his points and say "you really don't know what you are talking about with regard to religion x" - subtly suggesting that with regard to the other religions listed there is a font of knowledge being displayed.
