Anushka Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 This is weird and sad and crazy that people make up their own religions- with random rules... Less than 2 minutes ago, I learned that Mormons don't drink tea or coffee as part of their religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOHO Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Word of wisdom. Joseph Smith and "Bring'em Young" knew how manipulate the crack out of people. For some folks the more structure like that the more secure in the fold they are. Believe it or knot they told us young impressionable minds that you are not to drink anything hot or cold either - regardless of what was in the mug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted November 14, 2017 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2017 All religions are made up, and most have random crazy stuff as part of that. Some more bizarre than others. Did you know that the Catholics think that the wafer at communion turns into the LITERAL body of Christ??!! Not metaphor, not metaphysical, but literally! 1 Billion people. To quote Same Harris: Religion causes people to believe by the millions what only lunatics could believe on their own. Did you know that Creationists believe that the earth was literally created in 6 days literally 6000 years ago? Did you know scientologists literally believe that alien minds lives inside us? Did you know that Muslims literally believe that Muhammad flew to Jerusalem on a winged horse and split the moon in two? Lewis Black: "What this is, pure and simple, is a classic case of psychotic reaction. They are fuck nuts crazy!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted November 14, 2017 Super Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's really hard to pick the dumbest belief set once you have looked into several popular religions. What these diverse belief systems have in common is that they are all just made up by crazy and/or manipulative, power hungry humans. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to all the religions that occur naturally? Sorry, couldn't resist (but it's true). mwc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the word of wisdom, but the actual text says not to drink hot drinks, nothing there about tea or coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
