now that I did enjoy... but now you and I are sworn enemies. I have taken a sacred vow to the anti-bugs :p :

I think the bugs bunny one makes more sense than Scientology. I seriouisly hope someone like Jolian comes along preaching about Scietology.

Here's what I don't get: aren't the stories from the Bible and the stories from the Quran based on the same stories? I heard somewhere that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were all founded as a result of the same story.

Pretty much - it's the details that make the split.... for instance, Islam holds that Jesus was a Prophet of God, where Christianity holds that he was the son of God etc etc etc... same basics though

The devil's in the detail.... :p

And just because I like that someone has said it, they are all stories - making Kevin's faith in Bugs just as valid as anything else...

Well in that case, I don't understand all the bickering in the world today.

I never understood the bickering. It's all the same when you get down to it. Can't we all just get along?

wouldn't that be nice? :D

I'm all for live and let live, it's just unfortunate that some people are nuts. Some of the people who are nuts are also religious, and some of them are nuts about being religious... some genuinely want to save us all from the path of damnation we are speeding down, even if we consider it misguided.

Religion is much like football - everyone picks their team to support, and then smacks the crap out of visiting fans of opposing teams.....

here is my two cents
