*sigh*
All religions are irrelevant and asinine. They might be the source of your morals for decision making but other than that theyre totally irrelevant.
They're also believed in for the same reason someone belives in santa or the easter bunny... or for the reason they believe in jesus if you were born in the USA, or Whats his face if in Utah, or Hari Krishna if you were born on the ganges or Allah if you were born in Saudi Arabia.
Also, The mormon religion was basically debunked by an episode of southpark. Thats REALLY, REALLY weak. But hey, faith by definition is accepting a truth without evidence to support it, and right now in the USA you can believe in what EVER you want, so go for it!
However, the fact still remains that intellectually its weak, and faith alone cant account for shit. Faith based on fear of death or reprisal from god or the followers of the religion (which is what causes most conversions) is also just, well, weak.
Janis, Jimi, Gery, Timothy... Did you HAVE to get so close to the edge to get a really good view?
