This is rapidly becoming "Loud Whispers' Religious Showcase: Suggest Ideas in Thread!" isn't it?

... ten bucks online, that is. Huh. They also appear to make toothpaste, among other things. That... kinda' wonder if it sells in this area, just to see what it's like. The packaging is certainly hypnotic.

I've actually bought some of that stuff before. Posted about it here somewhere, in fact. It's an excellent soap, despite the weirdness, though I've not tried their other products.

I would agree with you, but as a Pastafarian, I'm not allowed to be a sanctimonious holier-than-thou asshole.

...actually, you know what.

I belive in Imperial Truth, aka Humanity Fuck Yeah. What do I pick?

....this is actually really inspiring. Yeah, I'm a convert now.

Uh. If I tried to make this an actual religion, do you think GW would shut me down? Maybe if I just generalize and avoid actually mentioning the Emperor?

What is a non-denominational Catholic?

... ten bucks online, that is. Huh. They also appear to make toothpaste, among other things. That... kinda' wonder if it sells in this area, just to see what it's like. The packaging is certainly hypnotic.

I've actually bought some of that stuff before. Posted about it here somewhere, in fact. It's an excellent soap, despite the weirdness, though I've not tried their other products.

It's great soap. It's expensive, but it is very concentrated so you don't have to use much and a bottle lasts a long time. And as an added bonus, you have some spiritual reading on hand if you're ever bored in the shower.

I think it's supposed to be non-denominational Christian (which I pretty much identify with, mostly raised Catholic but feeling the former at the moment), as Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity, but there are no further subsets of Catholicism.

Catholics that seem curiously protestant/Vague umbrella Christian

Is this soap for real?

Woah... am I like... the only Jewish person?  Huh, how'bout that?
Shalom
I do remember two other Jewish people in the lower boards but one's banned and the other just left

Technically all Christians are Catholic depending on who you ask.

Strange that the house of the Prime Minister has a misformed door number. Here is a blog entry detailing some research into how it got that way.

I chose animist, and not as a joke or "hey this is cool".  At first it was just an experiment to figure out faith, but after a few months I realized I kinda actually believe it.  Rainstorms in particular feel alive to me, or part of a larger organism - Gaia, Earth.

Helps that one can argue that the Earth *is* a super-organism, much like an ant colony.  Or a human, made up of trillions of single-cell social organisms.  James Lovelock made that case.  In many ways, the Sim Earth Bible is literally my Bible :P

Which isn't animism, except that I feel a "spiritual" energy in all those parts.  Including the rocks, rivers, volcanoes, etc.  Even if it's just in my head, it's a comforting idea which helps me listen to my intuition.  Rational thought takes precedence, but humans just aren't purely rational creatures.

Also the concept is probably tens of thousands of years old, if not hundreds, so I'm just respecting our ancestors :P

I belive in Imperial Truth, aka Humanity Fuck Yeah. What do I pick?
This is pretty rad though
