A bit of a change of topic, how many other people on this forum follow something non-christian and non-atheistic? What do you follow? These threads always turn in to christian/atheism topics, and I'm curious what other beliefs populate these forums.

I believe of more of a god who doesn't give a single shit. He cares more for other affairs and simply casts humans aside. However he employs many, many, angels/weaker gods who deal with mortals such as me or you. Thus these are the deities that one would pray to rather than the greater deity. Personally, I attach myself to a select few to pray to. Your relations and standing with these gods, angels, and in some cases spirits would see what kind of afterlife one would have. If you feel like questioning me and my beliefs, go right ahead.

Ok I will try.
Are you scared of illthid hunters.
What are the gods you follow, perhaps their associated spheres.
Is eating pork ok.
Do you drink brain juice like a yogi.
Are you happy

You also have to add in 'intangible', 'incomprehensible', and 'Perfect' to that FFS, or it doesn't properly work. If the Unicorn is merely invisible then it can be disproved simply by filling the garage with cement and then checking for unicorn-shaped air pockets.

Whereas the flying spaghetti monster and the space teacup are consistent, if absurd, articles of faith.

Hey, don't call my belief absurd! I just believe, okay, and I don't care what you say to disprove it.

I... Am unsure what to make of this post.
1.Illithid hunters are a job that's going out of the market anyways, no need to be scared.
2. Gods are rather personal in general. Names are more of something that one would imagine most deities and creatures of celestial qualities would care about, especially in my case. I see my primary deity as one who care for knowledge, mental prowess, capability, and blends in with my other gods with putting effort for oneself, the future, and others.   
3. Sure, if your not on a diet.
4. This brain juice your talking about is likely illegal in most countries.
5. I am quite content.

I respect your delicious/celestial faith just as much as any other 
And am far less personally threatened by it.

What hunters out of business, armok damn, i must be from another time.
Brain juice is legal, mind flayers use it for brain shakes.

5. I am quite content.

Im happy for you. Try to stay that way man.

Other affairs like what?  Internal politics? Stuff with other pantheons?

Discordian here, though there seems to be a few in B12. My own personal belief is that gods and such exist, though they rarely, if ever, interfere directly, or at all.

I wish I'd taken notice of this thread sooner, since I seem to be becoming a bit obsessed with researching and learning about various theologies in general.

I suppose one could see it that way, with politics and pantheons and such. Along with the fact that he (He is a bit grammatically easier to say than it/whatever gender) is the sorta the big cheese in the grand scheme of things. Though I suppose someone as low in the whole course of things like me wouldn't exactly know what he would be up to, seeing as I'm near the bottom of everything. But seeing to how the status is of all his angels and deities would an obvious thing to do. Perhaps dealing with higher-ups that help hold the laws of reality, or even, making spirits, angels, and gods head up higher within the order of power. Or even making whole new parts of the Universe, ordering powerful deities on what to do, dealing with less than cooperative deities, angels, spirits, and such.

Sounds kind of like the Chinese Celestials (gods, goddesses, dragons, immortals, etc), if Journey to the West is anything to go by.

Though the whole bhuddism pantheon and their version of saints are also inserted into the whole thing.

I'm just confused about how a unicorn can be both invisible and pink at the same time.

Better point.
Anyway just wear the horn it will please the powerful unicorn

Imma fix this up for you.

Apparently a lot happened while I wasn't looking.

Hey guys.

I'll toss up a poll about the "what religious group do you belong to" thing.

Presumably the same way humans will eventually be able to be invisible and skin-colored whenever we get around to polishing off optical camo. You can hold the state of "light passes through" and "if light hit, it would reflect pink" at the same time. It's just the latter would functionally never happen. The underlying structure would still be such that it would be pink were the appropriate conditions met.

E: Or, to give a different example, a pink unicorn is still a pink unicorn in the dark. Same concept. Visibility is a different metric than color.

Or it could be on a pink background.
