Title: New religion?
Post by: Ed W on January 18, 2011, 06:47:42 PM
I thought that Elvis or perhaps Monty Python would be the basis for the next big religion in western civilization, but I may be mistaken.  I simply do not understand the fascination with Sarah Palin.  I do not understand those people who adore her almost to the point of veneration or worship. 

This will take your breath - and possibly your appetite - away.

Appetite - certainly.  I wish they had continued taping - I wanted to see what kind of snakes they brought out!


The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the next big religion in western civilization.

Did I mention the Crystal Comic Book Cathedral went bankrupt last fall?

Don't speak ill of the Flaying Speghetti Monster, may his noodly appendages touch us all, or the Pastafarians.

Would never!!!

It is just too cool in a world overwhelmed in too much self-importance!  Don't really believe all the tenets of the religion, but like many, it has some good points.  I do tend to be a little biased more toward the tubular pasta, though.

That is one of the strangest things I've ever seen. The sad thing is that they seem so passionate about it. It's like she's their god. Weird...

Yeah well, people fainted at the sight of Obama and a well known commentator gets tingles up his leg when he thinks about him.  Let's face it, Palin and Obama are both members of the cult of personality.  It's a shame we pick our leaders based on personality, not true leadership qualifications.

As was George Bush.  Even Ronald Reagan.  And especially Billy Bob Clinton.

I like to stay away from any leader with followers. 

A good leader has a critic in every supporter.

I made it 38 sec into the video...  Gag reflex started to kick in and I had to stop it.

Neither Bush was very charismatic.  Clinton and Reagan were both very charismatic and both were very good leaders.

So RWRE or LWRE, both the same.  Yeah, just what I have been saying.

Cults are everywhere.  (But do so many have to be in Tulsa?)
