krsna krsna all you know is krsna. as though there was nothing else existing to talk about

Rob Instigator · 11.15.2012, 03:52 PM

is krishna the same as yahweh, or jehovah, or Asherah or Baal or any of the countless deities humans have created to explain the unexplainable?

i wish people could come up with more interesting bullshit for their religions.

gotta say, the quality of their fairy tales has dropped significantly since the iron age.

Rob Instigator · 11.15.2012, 04:02 PM

animism exists still, like the Shinto religion in Japan. quite popular. no deities, cuz all is divine.

Rastafarian religion is quite free of deities too. They believe that heaven is life itself, and that those who choose to see otherwise are the ones in hell.

besides, everyone knows that in the 25th century Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew kill the vengeful wrathful petty god of the Old Testament.

rastafarians think that halie selassie was god. i mean come on!!!

that's why i say the fairy tales have degraded since the iron age

the last great mythology was the norse religion!

nowadays they come up with utter cack for only the feeble-minded.

Nope. They think that the emperor of Ethiopia is a direct descendant of the line of Jesus, as a god incarnate. The queen of Sheba had a baby boy king Solomon and took him back to Ethiopia. Haile Sellasie claimed lineage back to Sheba.

It is not mythology. They have found hard evidence of Queen of Sheba's existence.

i wish someone would come up with a cool religion is all i'm saying. not that i would believe it but at least i could say "wow! that's an awesome story!". and xenu, for example, isn't.

My pan-theistic cult revolves around a trans-Planckian locus that demands the deposition of Senator Hawking into the space between worlds.

So, basically, sex-magick;.or, the Big Bang, if you wish.

God-Bukkake.

Rob Instigator · 11.15.2012, 04:42 PM

that is all any religion is, a big lie of an "awesome story" that gets people all worked up.

In 100 years scientology will be dead like mesmerism and we will all worship at Star Trek temples.

i was trying to post this but the board killed it but i hope so-- right now though it seems like it's all "the force" this and "the force" that-- fuck that shit. yes? yes.

Rob Instigator · 11.15.2012, 05:02 PM

fuck "the force" there was no force. It was just stupid mitochondria or some such nonsense. That is like starting a religious order because we can taste.
