I mean made up as in they came up with the religeon just to have in a video game. It's not really a religeon that people usually practice. You can agree with what you want, but I definitely don't think it's the right thing to believe.carcinoGeneticist said:
I don't know much about Religous Stuff, Even though I'm Catholic, but I find it wierd to have a Religion based over a Pokemon, especially when Arceus is a made up creature. I don't even know if any religion is real, but I'm stuck with Jesus and God and that.

Why are you offended then?Goombella said:
Belief of: Christian/Muslim/Buddhist/Hindu/Mormon/Jehovah's Witness/Catholic/Etcetera = FINE
Belief of: "the religion of pokémon" / "the religion of DBZ" / "the religion of super paper mario" = STUPID
In my opinion.

This is an outrage! As a loyal member of the religion of Super Paper Mario I am offended by this.Archmage Mason said:
In all seriousness, let's finish this conversation, as an argument seems to be in the making. Let's just say that believing in the religion of Pokémon and that Arceus created the world is not at all correct, and does seem stupid. Let's also not dwell on the matter because we're getting nowhere except going off-topic.

Sorry about that your mod-lyness.arachnidsGrip said:
As for the topic at hand, I already stated I believe in Jesus, and a lot of logical athiests/Jews/etc believe He existed, they just didn't believe He was God or born of a virgin.

That's mini-mod-lyness to you, Mason. *wheeze*Archmage Mason said:
I didn't mean to offend you. I just don't agree with you.

I don't get what you two mean by made-up. An Atheist would say all religions are made up. A Christian would say all religions besides Christianity and Judaism are made up. A Jew would says all other religions besides Judaism are made up. A Hindu would say his religion is right.Goombella said:
There are exceptions to all of those, but I THINK "made-up" would mean "DBZ/Super Paper Mario/Spirited Away" here so like, religions without tax-exempt status, like cults or ones made up in games/movies, for the most part.
EDIT: And go away MCD. If you think we're derailing this thread, discreetly report it or wait to see if a mod/admin thinks THEY need to take action.

I said it was going that way, not is in that state at the moment. To be honest, I think the topic could be expanded to what we are currently on the subject of.Ben Stein said:

Not necessarilly; most Buddhists are technically Atheists because most forms of Buddhism have no deities. There are a few that think Budha himself was a god, but that's it. Atheism is only imcompatible with "There definitely is a god, period." It's got nothing to do with a belief in re-incarnation, karma, an afterlife, miracles, etc. Although, personally, I've met almost no Atheists that did believe in these things.Ben Stein said:
Also, I think a religion centered around Arceus makes about as much sense as the theology of today's major religions. There's equally little evidence for both of the aforementioned (ergo, none).

This is why I said "there are exceptions to all of those." Including atheism. And I'm sure people exist who believe each religion has their own heaven o_o

I am Christian (United Church) but I am not exactly a good Christian. I believe more in the theory of evolution and big bang etc than anything else.
