One of the problems in my corner of reality is grafitti. The

so.

My kind of solution. Although I would add that impalement would be a
much better choice.

You could impale them on a crucifix, open your own church, and become
rich
beyond your wildest dreams.

The one element about you which constantly fascinates me is your
fustian discourse on completely off-the-cuff commentary moving from
the land of the obviously absurd to the land of semi-relevance.

It's not enough to add to or merely let something pass; you have to
connect to a greater idea. It's almost as if your psyche has to prove
a point and thus reveal your view of the world for all to see.

"Tis a curiosity.

I'm simply pointing out that odd religious phenomenon are popular and

BLAM!!!!

The cynic never has to live with disappointment because being a
professional doubter has great appeal to that enlightened portion of
humanity like yourself which finds comfort in detesting the rest of
the species for whatever reason appeals to you.

The fact that you used an example from Christian symbology only shows
how perfect the above statement is.


Detesting? I gave you a link to some nut who thinks he is Jesus Christ. As
far as other examples of briefly lived home brewed religions, there are
loads of examples, some of which end tragically.

Just because some people like religion and what it has done for them, this
doesn't mean that the other examples do not exist. If there are fish here
where I live, does it mean there are NO fish where you live, or are the two
things independent of one another?
