Anyone who doesn't use 25ppp will burn forever.
Can you find a holy passage to back that up?

Yeah, but the page number only makes sense if you're on 25ppp.
Oh, so now you're saying it only makes sense in the viewpoint of those who already follow it?

Typical religion.

25ppp is evil and corrupt. 15ppp is the true way.

I revoted.

Still the only Buddhist.
For what it's worth, when I sacrificed my Eagle Scout badge, I identified as Buddhist.  The idea of spiritual self improvement through introspection spoke to me.  In a way it still does.
It didn't fly, but not because of the scout leader.  He was/is a good person.  He sat with me for perhaps an hour, trying to convince me to claim a Christian denomination.  He explained that the council, from the Baptist church who hosted our scout troop, would deny me unless I at least pretended to be dedicated to a denomination of Christianity.

To this day I consider my Life Scout a badge of honor.  It was a huge deal to me at the time, and I decided to do the honest thing.

I haven't investigated Buddhism in some time, but I still value honesty.  I don't think I've ever regretted my decision...  about 12 year ago.

I'll take your word that the scout leader was a good person, and had good intentions at heart.

But that council, those guys are major douchebags to refuse people based on religion.

Major props to you for being honest. Not many people have the courage to do that.

I'll reset the voting once we've got the options sorted because apparently adding new options buggers it up.
You'd probably be best of compiling a list and presenting it here for people to suggest more stuff. I guess SubGenius is missing, since someone professed being part of it.

Or just leave it as it is and reset the votes.

It basically overlaps with Discordianism

What is Discordianism, anyway? I've never really heard much about it.

Code: [Select]
If you want in on the Discordian Society
then declare yourself what you wish
do what you like
and tell us about it
or
if you prefer
don't.

Also, its really easy to be a pope.

If you define "Christianity" as "Believing in the existence of Jesus Christ" then technically that's accurate.

I've yet to run into someone who thinks in such broad terms concerning religion, but yes, technically that's true.
