What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?


My virginity. It wasn’t worth much anyway.
 
Yes it was. I'm pretty sure virgins are most expensive at the brothels.

I always thought it was a bit egotistical to have one god taking care of anything myself.

People say that Catcher in the Rye helped fuel John Lennon's murder. In reality, its just whiny and meandering. I think I would've liked it more if it HAD been as subversive and powerful as to truly influence the assassination of someone I admire.  

I think Charlie Manson once claimed that his inspiration was The Beatles' song Helter Skelter. I could be wrong, but hey! Contriving war from the bible is easy, but it'd be just as easy as using Green Eggs and Ham to to support nuclear mass-murder in another society. The Cat in the Hat supports chaos, rage, dissonance, disobeying authority and other such nonsense. Hey - 'Chaos, Rage, Dissonance, Disobeying Authority, and Other Such Nonsense, Dr. Seuss' biography. Now available in hardback for 19.99'.

Why clearly?
Because you can work it out with a pencil.


And it actually describes the universe accurately.

So, using math and math only, you can actually find out how to prevent people from getting into hot and pointless debates, right?

What about science (in general) ? If you had to choose between science and just math (like what's Christianity to Eastern Orthodox), which (ahem) religion would you pick?

A toss up between XTC's The Church Of Women, and Secular Humanism. Tongue

Also, there is this:

 Marc Perkel's Church

If it's Real - we believe in it!

Non-bibical Christianity because I don't want to associate myself with the Inquisition, Crusades, and the control of millions upon millions.

Well then. Pastafarianism has since split into two distinct factions: Marinara Pastafarianism and Alfredo Pastafarianism.  Both should be fairly represented.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

No, I didn't. I cannot tell one religion is better than the other more than I could say 2+5 is more than 3+4.

Voting for some religion ahead of something else is illogical. How could one religion be better than some other - enlighten, please..!


Easy. I like one more than the other. So there you go. It's called subjectivity. Welcome to it.

Yall have really goofed anyway. Christianity is currently winning.
Is that how you guys want this to end?

Also I played along (though maybe it wasn't playing) please OT....tell me you're not being sincere?
I fear more than a few answers in this thread have been sincere, and that's scary.
