what is the religion that is te least believeable?

Question

I alwasy wondered!

Answer 1

On the ground of how they came to be, Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard founded Scientology to win a bet. That's all there is.

Answer 2

No religion is believable.

However there are constructive and destructive beliefs, where constructive beliefs worship nature or the Earth, like the Aboriginal Dreamtime for example, and destructive ones which teach falsehoods with a political agenda, like the many christian sects...

So the question should be, which religion is the most intollerable..?
My answer would then be: christianity..

Answer 3

I would say (is it agnostics or Wikka, spelt incorrectly deliberately). As they create a religion in their own minds using bits and pieces of other beliefs and create something that has more holes than Swiss cheese then complain about everyone else’s 'flawed religion'

Answer 4

In my point of view , I guess the least believable religion in the man-made religion.... coz man is only one of the creatures , NOT the creator....

Also religions inspired from Darwin theories , Believe me , it's a disaster upon mankind...encouraging racism , terrorism and wars around the world...

The religions ordering human lives sacrifices as in old Inca religions and religions allowing killing of babies are also the least to be believed as real God NEVER asks for killing a human he made himself.....

Answer 5

Rastafarianism

Answer 6

Bokononism.
Well at least the Bokononists hope that it is.

I suppose Eriesian Discordianism or the Church of the Subgenius would be up there too.

Answer 7

Hmm. It's a tough choice when the choices are:

- magic flying man saves world by getting nailed to a tree
- magic flying man ascends into sky on a horse
- evil alien overlord dumps his enemies into volcanoes on Earth but the spirits of the dead linger on to cause all manner of difficulties for humans
- evil tentacled alien overlord sleeps for eons beneath Earth's oceans until the planets realign, at which time he will awaken and consume all life on the planet, with his worshippers being the lucky ones to die first

[Okay, one of those is NOT a recognized religion. Care to guess which? ;-) ]

Answer 8

Idol worship.
Isaiah 40
9 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

Isaiah 44 is even more scathing!
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. 14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. 15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. 16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

Answer 9

Interesting....

I would have to say I think the ones with the most out-landish rules has to be the mormans. You can't drink pop - but, they own coke? They have a TON of crazy rules that have nothing to do with worshiping god....

Answer 10
