    I dont know about best. I'd say Christianity is the most mature, followed by bhuddism. Islam is far behind, by several centuries

    Not that it matters a whole lot but the Buddha actually lived several hundred years before Jesus. He never claimed to be a god though, just a teacher.

    I like the discipline of Islam, the zeal of Christianity (in regards to spreading the message), the resilience of Judaism, and the devotion of Hinduism. That being said, I'm a converted Zen Buddhist follower and I don't believe in a higher power.

    The best religion is the one that gives you the inner peace to feel as close as possible to God and allowing compassion and good will to all of humanity.

    Lately, I've been thinking that Tom Cruise is Xenu! Makes sense doesn't it...

    P.S. - Watch Bowfinger! Ahead of it's time!

    I voted Buddhism, because they would come to Stillwater to make these temporary sandpaintings. I once witnessed them with bags from Burger King while in their robes.

    It was awesome. (Sandpaintings were nice too, I guess.)

    Agnostic isn't a religion. It doesn't necessarily even have to be the religion you practice. Just from what you know of the religions which one do you prefer. I know jewishism isn't a religion, but after I did the poll, I couldn't change the poll.

    The "jew-controlled media" could never damage Islam's image as much as its own ignorant and racist followers.

    I think this poll sucks. Not because its divisive and will probably become volatile. It's just too generalized. Christianity for example has a number of different religions while still agreeing that Christ is God. If that wasn't the case, then all of these different Christian religions would just be Catholic before they broke off.

    It may seem minor but it is huge to those that practice their church's view of Christianity. The same is true for the other religions in the poll. There are even different practices of Buddhism. Some view Buddha as divine despite him saying otherwise. These details make a world of difference.

    As far as I go I'm an agnostic leaning Catholic if that makes sense.

    Definitely don't want to participate in the main topic of this thread but, speaking of ignorance...

    Hey LScolaDominates! Remember that time you asked for info about Islam for days and asserted that it doesn't exist but when I posted it you went all quiet and ignored it? At first I thought you were just busy, but gee, you sure had enough time to discuss things in other threads. Even though I bumped it several times, you still couldn't find it.

    It's partially the media. Partially the followers. But mostly people like you IMO.

    Carry on, see you later..

    Well this is a pretty lame question to ask.

    So, what about 'em Rockets?

    Amen. Racist paranoid conspiracy theories have never made anybody look good.
