Just Speculation...

Does anyone ever wonder if Christianity started the same way Pastafarianism did? You know, two Jews sitting around some bar drunk off their asses talking about the overly strict or overly apocalyptic sects that had cropped up and suddenly they're like, "No no, seriously, dude. Bro, listen. This guy, he'll be born to a virgin (sh, sh, I'm serious, stop laughing, I know you'd plough her)..."
How do YOU think the conversation went? ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png) 
What is pastafarianism?

Well they were either at a bar, or on some kind of mind altering hallucinogenic drug.

No religion makes "sense" Mehmet. Religion is not about "sense."
It's not supposed to Mehmet - it's a joke. Which is why I was asking, because Christianity doesn't make a whole lot of sense either.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

The other religions are a joke too. It's just taking people way to long to get it. There is actually a theory about Paul that essentially says that Paul was struggling with the Old Testament law, he was the Pharisee of the Pharisees as the story goes (also don't forget the Old Testament law is just about impossible to abide by which keeps everyone in sin and therefore in need of the church). Anyways, Paul saw in the figure of Jesus a way to break the Old Testament law and establish a new doctrine allowing him to be free of the bane of Mosaic law. Paul also utilised this to elevate himself and become "evangelical", a way to gain power over others using this new doctrine. Interesting theory.
