What exactly makes a religion a religion and not a myth?

I am looking for a list of proper forms of address for all of the various titles in England.

Specifically, what the different titles, their ranking, how one would address a letter to a titled nobleman/noblewoman and how one would address them verbally.

Here are a couple examples of what I mean.

Title: Assemblyman/woman
Address: The Honorable Full name
Saluation: Dear Mr./Ms. Last name

Title: Ambassador to the U.S.
Address: His/Her Excellency Full name, The Ambassador of Place name
Saluation: Excellency or Dear Mr./Madam Ambassador

What is not included in the above that I would also like is the verbal address, i.e. when speaking with them, would you address a Duke as Your Grace?

I do have a rather good list of proper forms of address for the United States in return, if anyone is interested.

Please advise.

Thank you.

I've seen people wearing them at sporting events and other places where's they're clearly not needed. I could see wearing one in the car or somewhere where you need to use both hands for something else. You look like a retard!

Atheists, how do you explain miracles? I mean there have been people lying in hospital beds dying and the second someone lays hands on them and starts praying they are healed. How do you explain that? I mean I'm sure things like that have happened millions of times throughout history--so how do you explain those kinds of things?

I became the official religious leader of Disneyism, and now I need a sacred book. What should I name it? How many chapters should it contain? Should I include quotes form Disney movies in it? I want your opinions, and you may give me extra tips for this book, and you shall be my faithful follower. QUACK!

I never understood putting stuff on layaway. Do yo uget a discount? Why would I want to do this as opposed to buying something immediately with cash or a credit card?

I had a talk with a believer earlier. They said God gave them the strength to make changes and fix problems in their life. They had the will but not the power. Jesus gave them the power they said.

My question is how come some people (i.e. atheists, agnostics) seem to have the power on their own to fix their own problems while others need to turn to God or Jesus for assistance?

I think the Christian is the one who looks at the peanut butter and gives it a taste. With that feeling, he knows it isn't jelly. There is no brainwashing. We decide what to believe just like you do.

The agnostic, on the other hand, turns it over, looks at it, sticks his fingers in it but is still too stubborn (I don't want to imply stupid) to decide if it is jelly or peanut butter.

Taste the peanut butter, friends. Then you'll know. And you won't be so hungry.

Did I stretch the metaphor too far?

BLess you

When in all actuality, the believers should be glad we are hear to at least listen to what they have to say? In a way, we are inviting you to change our hearts by participating. You should rejoice at the opportunity to save me, not shun me. And I am listening, I'm not buying, but I'm listening

Then WTF is he doing mowing my lawn?



Disclaimer: The Jesus I reffer to is my mexican gardener. Before you damn me to hell please notice that I made no refference to ANY other Jesus. If you do not know your religion well enough to be able to tell the difference between a Mexican who smells and a dude that "lived" 2000 years ago then by all means show how unintelligent you are by answering!
