This thread falls in violation of the rule on opening posts, I'd suggest you expand your OP if this wasn't technically duplication..

There is already a thread devoted to general religious debate as well as one for most of the major religions out there. This is completely unnecessary.
And I am a bit bothered that you chose to name my beliefs as other.

I smell either puppetwanking or a large bastion of Christians intentionally ganging up on the thread - I mean look at the poll results...

That's hardly true. It's the far-right fundamentalists who have their beliefs laughed at, not ordinary religious folk.

You must be new here?

It's the lack of one specific belief. And, though it is possible to have faith in it, not actually a faith.

Why is this thread even here? We already got a good religion thread. Also I see this one is going south. So boys and the Almighty district, lets get out of Dodge!

Little known fact: the name "Manichean" comes from the tendency of it's followers to loudly and repeatedly announce, "Mani Khai!" (Mani Lives!)

So let's not bring them out. In fact, let's keep them far, far away.
