You like the religion?

From "The Sister":

you like the religion? I think it's even better than scientology. WHat do you think Noogle?


This is a very heavy choice for an initial question of this virgin process, but I shall oblige...

I don't like it! I don't like either of em!

I think religion has caused WAY more issues throughout history then it has solved. I think it has hindered the pursuit of truth at times. I think this world was meant to have things that cannot be explained or do not have answers. The answer, "Cause god made it so" or "L. Ron Hubbard said so" is just the easy way out in my mind...but I also like torturing myself thinking about shit.

I think too many people have been killed or oppressed merely based on their religion. I think it breeds anger and separation between people. Yes, it may bring its followers closer, but what about the rest of the world? How can we all adopt ideas or beliefs that means if our sect or group is correct, the rest of the world is wrong and they will burn in hell?! I just don't like that. I think the bible is a really amazing story book and it served a purpose for it's time, but that time has has past. Its initial intent and relevance doesn't fit today's person.

I am Jewish and proud of it, but I think that can be a cultural or family thing, not necessarily a religion discussion. I can be proud to be Jewish without adopting its religious practices. I don't know what I believe, but I do know there is something bigger than me out there...that's all I am sure of...what it is, I don't know.

Yeah...that's about all I got with the time allotted. You can request follow ups ;)

    okay...it's official, i'm converting to a religion that, yes, i'm also creating but ya know something...? faith is faith and i believe whole-heartedly that noogle would agree (and if anyone knows anything about anything, it's noogle...it just so happens that he happens to know a little bit of everything about a lot of everything)...that said, noogle is my new god/higher power/mapquest replacement/saver-of-many-a-day...i'm a nooglist...question: ya gotta drop the "e" for the "ist", am i wrong?

  2. Welcome aboard!

    I am very, very happy to have you!

    We need to recruit more people...

    And yes, you drop the "e" before the "ist". If you didn't, it would be "noogleist" and that just looks efin retarded!
