BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:two quaker presidents: nixon and hoover. what religion has a worse batting average for leaders? Being born into Quaker families doesn’t really count for anything if they don’t share the same beliefs at all. I can’t imagine the US ever electing a practicing Quaker. Some more on Nixon’s relationship with Quakerism: https://www.friendsjournal.org/book/nixons-first-cover-up-the-religious-life-of-a-quaker-president/

mkvltra posted:Read: I like Buddhism because one time in another country due to some wacky misunderstandings I got mistaken for a buddhist pilgrim and didn't realize that's why everyone was so nice to me or why I was getting hotel discounts so I decided to actually do some of the pilgrimage for real and was trying to be healthier so I avoided this fried chicken wrap this one place was offering. However I was about 4 miles down the road, it was pouring and I was really regretting not getting that fried chicken wrap, when a car pulled over and people offered the exact wrap I was thinking about to me. I like to think that was a sign of Buddha being chill with my accidental fraud. I'm well aware that Buddha was a vegetarian but he's clearly not a dick about it.

You know what? Just give any religion that doesn't discriminate based on race and gender a look. A proper religion shouldn't care about temporary physical traits.

A tao monk came across a farmer ( who happened to be wearing power armor). The farmer asked the tao monk if he knew the nature of heresy in the eyes of the Emporer. "Maybe" was the Tao monks replies. And then he and the farmer were devoured by the leviathan swarm.

If there's an all powerful god in charge of everything then morality boils down to obeying his laws regardless of how awful they are. It's basically a cosmic game of Mother May I where the "winners" are the people who never violate the laws and even then the god still determines what prize the winners actually get.

To many Republicans the only real difference between God and the devil is that God is the bigger bully who will beat up the devil at the Last Day. So pick the right side. The side with POWER! That way God will help you crush and bully all the other people you hate.

God is good because he hates the same people the republicans do and those people are obviously evil because they make the republicans feel uncomfortable, so it's ok to enslave and exterminate them.

The daoist encyclopedia Essential Secrets of the Most High 無上秘要 implies some temples burned censers of cannabis or hemp. Hotboxing the entire priesthood of your temple is the way of the dao. The encyclopedia used to have 100 volumes but only 69 are known to have survived. Later the Quanzhen Daoists labeled intoxication as one of the Four Hindrances. Very boring guys. Sometimes the old ways are best.

Colonel Cancer posted:They talk about dogma but where is all the catma?? Today, many modern Pagans still pay tribute to Bast or Bastet. If you’d like to honor Bast in your rituals and celebrations, try some of these ideas: -Create an altar in Bast’s name, and decorate it with images of cats and lions, baskets, brightly colored crystals or gemstones, and sistrums or rattles. -Offer a prayer to Bast or Bastet, in the form of a song or chant. Since dancing was a way in which she was celebrated, add some dancing as you sing her praises. -Replace common words you use with mew or meow. -If you’re trying to conceive a child, or if you’re pregnant and want her to watch over you, make offerings to Bast. Honey or other sweet foods such as chocolate are an appropriate choice, as is raw meat or milk, dead birds or rodents, or even handcrafted cat statues or perfumed ointments.

My mistake. I do remember that the goddess was going to destroy the world by reducing it to a scorched desert. Maybe we're experiencing global warming now because she finally sobered up after 1000s of years.

you know who’s a good god to have in your corner? Bes, protector of households and general defender of good things:quote:Normally Egyptian gods were shown in profile, but instead Bes appeared in full face portrait, ithyphallic, and sometimes in a soldier's tunic, so as to appear ready to launch an attack on any approaching evil. ... Since he drove off evil, Bes also came to symbolize the good things in life – music, dance, and sexual pleasure. In the New Kingdom, tattoos of Bes could be found on the thighs of dancers, musicians and servant girls.
