Yeah, but it's products aren't exactly adorable. I admit they have something in common with incense. Their smell can make you dizzy.
Well, maybe this guy thinks differently
Turn on the CC on that video. It is hilarious. Totally incomprehensible, but hilarious.

I don't think there is such a thing a good religion, but some people appear to be more mentally sable and secure when believing.
However, some religions are definitely worse than others. Religions that regularly lead to violence are the worst. Right now that's Islam, but Christianity was once no slouch in the violence stakes. Next are religions that purposely separate followers from the rest of the world: cults and very orthodox Judaism, to a certain extent Mormonism are all in this category. Next come religions that are seriously anti science. Islam, evangelical Christians. . .
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

But how can a person say, one religion is better that the other, granted for example I like the modern Catholics acceptance of evolution and etc but that doesn't make up for centuries of unjust torture, genocides, and blind murder.
So why should one religion be treated or considered to be better than the other, their all full of bullshit. Am I right?

Not really an atheist, but I like buddhism's teachings best out of all the religions.

Religion 101
Internal consistency
fealty to declared sacred writings and/or declared prophet
zealousness in opposing changes to sacred writings regardless of consequences
fairness in applying strictures, restrictions, rules, edicts and dogma on all adherents
no effort directed towards apologetics
administration/seers/prophets aren't cynical about professed faith and/or are not engaged in a criminal enterprise (forbidden in their writings) not announced to congregation(s)
sincere and relentless in positing the falseness of all other faiths
eschewing ecumenism
vigor in defending their faith from internal heresy and apostasy
willingness to show backsliders the door (or the gibbet if writings specify that)

And that's what the guys heard when they wrote the Bible and the Koran. They were fast writers but hardly accurate.

The CC/Subtitles icon is the fourth from the right at the bottom. It's normally hidden until you scroll over it. A writer transcribes the voices into written words for the hearing impaired. In this instance the writer did a lousy job. It's funny.

Sorry, missed post about CC question.
The transcription reads like it was translated to Japanese, then Martian, and then back to English. It is so amazingly awful it's great !!

Probably already said, but:
I believe no religion is better than one.
