I’m going off soon to one of my last meals, the hedge fund managaers’ lunch at Maxwell’s. Hoping that someone has some ideas on selling Credit default Swaps on the rapture event. I’m sure we can get local government pensions and insurance cos. to buy them.
“oh… i can point out a gazillion other things in peoples religions that are equally “patently absurd””
Of course. For example, I have tremendous respect for many Buddhist ideas and traditions. But I do think it a bit crazy that you can identify the next incarnation of a Tibetan high lama by putting ancient trinkets and a walking stick in front of two year old boys and seeing evidence of reincarnation from how he reacts.
Have any of you seen the ad on TV for the Taco bell offer…12 tacos for $10?

You can tell the high lama because it’s the one eating doritos.
I think i’m actually with rob on the fact that we’re pretty clearly making fun of their actual beliefs as being crazy.
But, as pete says, I think that’s fine.
(And they’re probably fine with it as well. After all, the only have to put up with it for a day or so.)
rob- if you want to see a true hypocrite, look in your mirror.

Dibs- I replied to your question on the rapture thread 🙂
When are we scheduled to fight about sex? I think that convo could be interesting. Until then, I bid you all adieu!
