    There's a lot of symbolism in religions. The handshake thing has a lot to do with symbolism. There are other aspects to it, but I'd prefer not to get into it. I'll say this though. The purpose of the endowment is to empower and educate the participant. Every aspect of it does one or both of those things. Some of the things are helpful to know for your salvation, others are necessary to know.

    No they're not.
    They're actually teaching the correct handshakes over at the Scientology building, you've been led astray.

    This sentence is absurd.

    For you to try to hold the moral high ground as a caucasian is just absurd. Do you know how many people your group of white people have killed?!?!?

    Yes, that is what all religions are about. And you're calling other things stupid? Ironic.

    Thanks for explaining things. From what I've experienced, Mormans are one religion that actually put their money where their mouth is, and I can respect that.

    Who's Chris? But yes, now you see absurdity of your comment about Catholics. Or are you unable to make that connection?

    No, my comment wasn't absurd at all. MickZagger said that there are no parrallels between the Mormon religion and Catholicism. I was merely pointing out that you can make fun of the Mormons all you want, but their religion hasn't killed millions of people.

    You, on the other hand, are trying to compare an organized religion that people join to a color of skin that people are born with. If you don't see the absurdity in what you are trying to say, I don't know what to tell you.

    It's absurd to associate the actions of the past to a particular group of people today, regardless of whether you're talking about race, sex, religion, etc, etc. It's absurd. You just want to fit it into the nice little box that blames religion.

    No, you just want to go into hyper-defense mode. This is a thread about religions. One person is making fun of one religion, while defending his own religion because it's older. My point was, despite the Mormons being a little annoying and weird, they have yet to go on a murderous spree in the name of god.

    Are you Catholic?

    It sounds like you think I'm being hypocritical about calling religion stupid, but you're not coherent enough to convey how exactly... If you'd care to explain, I'm all ears.

    Don't worry, he's just defensive because the organization that he chose to join is historically responsible for killing millions of people. It would be interesting to tally up the death toll that Catholicism has racked up. It would be an impressive kill count.

    You seem infatuated with the idea of multiple husbands.
