What was your craziest belief that you had while in your religion and/or what is the craziest religious belief that you have ever heard of?
My craziest belief, as a catholic, was actually believing in a lot of the virgin mary apparitions. One in particular, was the one in Fatima, Portugal. I believed that the virgin mary appeared to the 3 children and told them she would perform the miracle. This miracle had 70,000 "witnesses" who had witnessed the sun dance around the sky. I never believed the sun actually had moved, but I thought god actually made them see it this way. I was a goof.
One of the craziest beliefs that I have heard, is in scientology. Once you pay your way to Operating Level Three (OT III), you gain the knowledge to get rid of the murdered body thetan aliens that are attached to you, and contained within your body. You learn to telepathically find them and get rid of them, so you don't suffer from their negative effects.
One of the most disturbing things I have ever heard of, is practiced in judaism. It's not too mainstream, as far as I understand it, but here it is. It's #4 on the countdown. http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-stories-th...on-insane/

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
