Polytheism?
Pantheism?
Christianity?
Islam?

Please qualify your answers (state why these are your choices)

I know atheism isn't a faith. I feel that if we were to have that kind of discussion, atheists should be included. Thanks for your contribution to this question :)

btw, I didn't say only choose one.. I simply asked who you'd like to see duke it out in a roundtable discussion of religion.
2007-03-27 10:34:59 · update #2
Funnyism: The WSIDR and Goodzilla
Polytheists/Pantheists: Lokasenna Kallan
Christianity: Father K
Islam: Proud Muslimah and a few others whose names I, regretably cannot recall to mind at the moment
Buddhism: Mirage... she really IS better at this than I am
Hinduism: don't know too many of those as regulars in here
Spiritualism: Pangelism... grin
Atheism: Sho-nuff (?), Goodzilla, Zero Cool, and so many others I can't recall all to mind...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBY THE WOLF! What DO you consider yourself now? I didn'a ken where to put ye, lad.
Hey, if I missed any names it's the pain meds... it's not intentional, those of you, who I respect, actually know it... I think... ah well...

Polytheism: I am sadly ignorant of who here is a polytheist. Is Pangel? Are you? If so, then you 2 would be good. Oh, Lokasenna would be good too.
Pantheism: Again, I am unaware of who is a pantheist here. I'm a panentheist, which is different.
Christianity: David M. Contemplative Chanteuse. Father K.
Islam: 7ProudMuslimah, whatever her name is! Sunshine, Adia Arek. All good representatives of their faith, and good at countering common misconceptions.
Buddhism: Mirage. Excellent representative of the loving spirit of Buddhism.
Hinduism: LotusMoon, Jayaraman - very knowledgeable
Spiritualism: hmmm, is Pangel a spiritualist? I don't know.
Atheism: Icarus, ZeroCool. Outspoken and have good arguments.
Edit:
I just realized you left out Judaism!
I vote for Gratvol and Quantrill for that.

Can I vote for more than one and can I vote for myself? If not, I vote for you Kallan to represent Polytheism.
Islam I would vote for Adia Arek or Proud Muslimah
Buddhism I would vote for Vinslave
Spiritualism, Pangel
Pantheism, I have no idea who's a pantheist same for Hinduism.
Christianity? Hmm.. Father K
Atheism...there's so many to chose from! Any of my atheist friends on here.
The reasons being that all the people I mentioned seem knowledgeable in their professed beliefs and are friendly.

You.
Albert Einstein (I know, I know, he's not a contributor...)
I don't know for Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism or Spiritualism.
I would pick JP as the representative atheist at a round table. He's frickin brilliant.

I like the question, but I can't vote for one particular person for each. There are tons of people on everyday that make equally good points, or equally bad points, whichever.
Some people fall into more than one category, what about them?
All my contacts know what they're talking about, I figure if anyone has got a spot at the table, they do.

Polytheism: Lokasenna, she knows alot about it, and is passionate about it too :)
Pantheism: Not sure, I don't know any...
Christianity: Father K, he is respectful and very knowledgable about Christianity
Islam: My friend Azra, she knows alot about it, and is very good at debating and deliberating. That was the hardest one to choose...
Buddhism: Me or vinslave, we both seem to know all of the same stuff :)
Hinduism: Heron by the sea, she knows alot about all religions...
Spiritualism: Pangel, she is the only one I know and is just awesome :)
Atheism: JP, he is very intelligent...

Too many choices- you need to do a question for each seat and give nominees and then I'll choose

Father K would be a good draft pick for Christianity. Don't know much about the others.
