How about this metaphor for Christianity?
Ok, it did to already say am undoubtful Christian in first posty my. so, to share her account. Let's have you be the traveling one, in airaport of Terminals of several and Planes a thousand. But! Your'e the wanting one! place of arrival! (examples: Toronto) when in an airport, you ask many peoples "which plane is the Toronto desinationed one? " your'e the confused one, for some persons say ALL planes have a trip to Toronto, some say these planes, but not those planes, some say no planes at ALL, and some say one plane. Not all people to be correct, for contradicts are apparent. So, you are lookful of a book from airaport FounderCEO, with skedules and map and other top of informative information. You find him FounderCEO, and he explain book. Now, you finds the one Toronto-headed plane with top of easy. You run to the plane, and give tickt and passaport, and walk and get a comfy and see a Toronto. Is very very same with Heaven. some say many way, some say this way not that way, some say NO way, and some say one way. Your'e the confused one, until you read a manual from God, is called Bible, and God explain Bible. Now, is so clear, you find the plane and are on way to Heaven in notime. So- Let's so Heaven with me!

Translation: Religion is like an airport because Gawd tells you what flights to go on. BRILLIANT!!! :rolleyes:

Not that this has anything to do with your post, but I plan on asking some of my redheaded women friends if I can take a run through their pumpkin patch before Halloween.

I think one or two might go for it...

I would have read that but unfortunately, after the few lines of text, my eyes glazed over, then I heard something crackling inside my head... I'm better now...

This analogy serves very well for a deist, actually, since it's quite probably true that an Airline CEO is not going to deign to tell you which flight it is, probably doesn't know off the top of his head which flight it is, and is quite possibly in Tahiti right now with a couple of flight attendants working hard for promotions.

So, you are lookful of a book...
I must say, I like the word 'lookful.' I'm going to be introducing it into my vocabulary, and will be lookful of opportunities to use it.

My head hurts... My brain just canīt deal with the data contained on the text, the words just donīt seem to arrange on a logical way... Must be some brain disorder I have.

"and he explain book"
"Now, you finds the one Toronto-headed plane with top of easy."

If you read it in the voice of Latka (Taxi), it makes sense.

This guy is absolutely correct, except instead of arriving in Toronto, the plane got lost in the Bermuda Triangle and was never seen again.

Did anybody see how that metaphor means religion is a denial of critical thinking? Instead of finding your own interpretations by thinking for yourself you're supposed to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS OR ELSE YOU'LL BE ALL RONG!! FAILD STRAIGT TO HELL!!

This guy is trying to make me insane by reading this, right?

Maybe he's Cthulhu?

You should see the rest of that board. I keep trying to get Pillory to join but he says he's too hooked on this one.
