Got some Hindu missionaries the other day. They said, "We just wanted to tell you, whatever your religion is, we're cool with that. Keep up the good work."
Now, there's some missionaries on a mission from god.

It was supposed to be what it said: likable.Was that supposed to be likeable or lickable?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I liked him but I sure wouldn't want to lick him.
(Basically he was likable because unlike the various Christian and Islamic missionaries I've run into, he was extremely soft-spoken, humble, and articulate.)

Huh? Excuse me if you meant that as a joke, but people may use that to substitute for thinking. Can you explain how it's supposed to be a religion? I can explain why it's not: atheism doesn't deal with the supernatural, religion does; atheism doesn't have in-group perks; there are no atheist leaders, just those better at arguing; the better-arguing atheists don't ask for allegiance; no rituals, worship, or holy writings; no revenge (consider rapture believers who expect to see unbelievers proved wrong after which awful things happen to them); no mass organization, which while not necessary for religion is very characteristic; etc. I'm sure this doesn't speak of all atheists, especially since some people consider atheism to mean paganism, but atheism in general looks nothing like a religion. On the actual article, I'll join in the LOL's.
I agree with you technically, but we're also another "religion" for legal & some cultural purposes.Huh? Excuse me if you meant that as a joke, but people may use that to substitute for thinking.

Tax evasion is a secular technique for us, one which I find quite spiritual though.We can pool our money together and evade taxes?! But thanks for the welcome.

But the lion just rips the organs from the antelopes still breathing body.
He doesn`t twist the old antelopes mind into pretzels causing him to proclaim that he has always been wrong and antelopes really do exist for no other reason than to give lions pleasure and then publish the old fools confused rantings throughout the lion kingdom.
I dunno, seems kind sleazy to me.

Jesus I hope they don`t keep that up.
**** like that could actually win converts.

It's part of the 'evolution' (I'd love to use this term). No wonder, maybe soon enough we'll gonna be hearing about the 'New Christians' too.

New Christian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Apparently it's a pretty old concept. Not a nice one, though. ):It's part of the 'evolution' (I'd love to use this term). No wonder, maybe soon enough we'll gonna be hearing about the 'New Christians' too.

Unlike the Jehovah's witnesses, who would never knock on someone's door just to share their views on religion. Oh, wait...
