Jesus a fucking alien or something?

I thought he was a guy.

[Lord Dakoth]

I also believe in evolution and find no contradiction between it and the concept that God did the same.

Genesis 1:24 - And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
Some people believe that this verse makes evolution and Biblical creationism mutually exclusive.

Debatable, perhaps? 

[Hippoman]

Nice. Used to have that as mah backround. Or brother did. BUt anyway.

Why do people eat Jesus?

Right. Some also believe that this interpretation might be a little too literalistic, just like they do about Revelation. God said "let the land produce," and it said it was so, but it doesn't specify the mechanism. I don't consider evolution to be a force on its own; I consider it a tool.

Also, forgive me if I sounded pretentious by saying that. I tend to do that, and am doing my best.

It's okay, I had to erase my sarcastic, biting response that I originally typed and replace it with a more polite one.

[Judas Maccabeus]

*waves* Catholic here, and somewhat of the mystical sort.  I could go into detail, but we'd be here all night.

[Hippoman]

We need some fucking new religions here.

All i see on the internet is Christianity this and Atheism that.

I wanna hear about Hinduism and Taoism and Buddism and other religions people actually care about.

Buddhist here, do you want to know anything specifically?

No. Go on all about your philosophies and Gods (which to the best of my knowledge you have none.) and such.

Yes i'm 14 and can't spell.

Buddists, I think, worship the Buddahs, or people that have broken the cycle of endless rebirth by attaining Enlightenment. To break that cycle you must not harm living beings, not desire as well as a few other things. Don't take me as an authority on this, as I would like Jonathan to confirm this.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

I'd wish you had more specific questions.

No, I do not worship Buddhas. Some sects (do not know the right word). To break the cycle we follow the Noble Eightfold Path and understand the Four Noble Truths. I do believe in the whole of reincarnation aspects and the Buddhist Cosmology. It gets a bit complicated after that - there's 31 planes of existence (planes you can be reborn into.)

[Jackrabbit]

I know this might seem disrespectful but that sounds awesome.

I worship the cowboy octopus on a motorbike.
With three of his tentacles, he operates the bike. With the other five, he shoots into the air and waves lassos of life.

I have this bizarre mental image of Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on a too-small Harley Davidson, firing six-shooters into the air and yodeling.
