Religion and Social Networking

[mckitterick]

Over on Facebook, I got myself involved in a debate on religion. I know, I know; I should know better. But it's fun, y'know? Anyhow, what prompted the debate was this article on the BBC about how relgions go extinct. Good stuff.

Anyhow, it got me thinking about my interactions there and over here, and I'm curious about my friends' religious beliefs. Am I just living in an insulated bubble as described in that article, or are those national polls on religion just manipulated? So, a poll!

Here it is, a Google Docs poll so anyone can use it: Are you religious? What social networking tools do you use?

Thanks!
Chris

Holy schnikies, I had to leave your FB thread before I had an aneurysm. "A world without birth control would be awesome!" Really? You would force women whom I know personally to risk death should they become pregnant? You would deny the ability of women whom I know personally to regulate their hormonal issues through use of birth control? Man, I don't know how you're keeping your temper, because I lost mine already. And let's not even mention the back-pedaling about "the fires of hell."

Anyone who begins a discussion with "You're going to burn for eternity in the fiery pits o' Hell!" isn't a rational being, so I didn't see any need to poke the crazy more than I did. I'm surprised that so few people jumped in and called him on his statements.

Your icon FTW.

If ever there was a guy who needed to have every woman he meets go all Lysistrata on his ass... Was he actually claiming to be an old friend of yours?

I was tempted to whisper "What about the dinosaurs?" but lo, the crazy was indeed strong in that one.

He went to school in Ortonville, too, and got out of there a year after I did. Honestly, though, I can't recall our interactions. Was he on the debate team, maybe? Hm.

Oooh, dinos! I'm tempted to drop that one in there....

...though I must admit to enjoying feeding the troll. Just a little.
