		<description>It's called cynicism.   Everyone who is responding negatively with comments are either dumb as a rock or 12 years old.  The church is only in place to prove that all other religions are just as ridiculous to believe in as believing in a flying spaghetti monster.  There is no god, flying or otherwise, and religion was only invented to keep the weak, ignorant, and obviously gullible people in check, while turning women into slaves (or burning them as witches) and making a pretty penny doing so.  So, fly on pastafarians.  You have my vote... or at least a sense of humor.  And I'd choose that over some first-born-sacrificing, world-flooding, sexiest pig of a God any day!</description>

		<description>This is truly great.  It is a fun joke :o)

Religion is stupid.

People only believe in religion if they crave something more exciting and mystical, or if they are retarded.

Who needs to read a religious text to learn morals.  Well certainly not me, as I don't want to stone my next door neighbor for getting divorced.  If you follow everything in the Bible you'd be arrested or locked up in a psychiatric ward.

Followers who say the Bible is literal are fools.  Followers that say is is not-literal are also fools, why read a religious text that is NOT literal!?  That book is baloney.

Same goes for all the other stupid religions.  No respect or tolerance any more I'm afraid.  Religious people are intolerant to people who ask questions, so my intolerance will now be publicly aired.

Hurray for Richard Dawkins.

		<description>Pray to your pathetic FSM, blasphemer, for when the stars are right and the Old Ones return, they will show you no mercy.
If you ever set foot, fin, or claw in the eldritch city of Y'ha-nthlei you will be immediately pantsed by deep ones.
May your dreams never again be visited by cosmic horrors that leave you drenched in sweat, clinging to your pillow for dear life.</description>

		<description>It is a religious movement that has the same basics as any other religion.
If you believe in the bible, then have you ever read it completely, The book of Genesis, has two different versions of the creation of the earth and man. This is a joke to non-christians, but they don't laugh at ychristians about it. And christians ,can't agree who is and isn't a christian, when you believe the same things. The Catholics, Baptists, LDS, etc. base their religon on the same principles, but will argue until they are blue in the face that "They" have the one true religion, and every other religion is worshiping a false God. 

This arguement about what is and isn't a religion is all just a bunch of bullshit. If you believe in a higher power, then that is a religion and nobody has the right to say that yours is not the right one with out also acknowledging that they also worship the wrong religion.

As for teaching about a religious belief in school, scince class is not the place for it, since there is not any proof or physical evidence when it comes to the religious theories. Most of the bible was written centuries after the fact, by individuals who were told these stories, by people who heard these stories from people who heard.... 

Stories of this type are called fables and/or hearsay. The last time I checked, neither of which were admissible in a court of law as evidence. So how and/or why do the stories even get a chance in a court of law.

I have spent 40 plus years in religious studies, I am an ordained Minister, and I have taught many bible classes over twenty plus years. But I have seen religeon for what it is, a belief in something that doesn't always make sense.</description>
