Wait a minute, I just re-read the intro to this thread. I'm sorry to disapoint you, but I don't think I can be that nice. In fact, I will say something not nice about Citizen for the whole site to see! (Sometimes, he doesn't share the cookies) There, I've done it! Quick kick me out of the thread if you must. Plus, I'm really scared now that you've quoted a crap 70's (or was it 80's) song at me. I'll be over in the corner quivering with fear.

Bow before him and his unwavering truth!

This is the thread dedicated to all things great about Citizen, which is to say everything about Citizen!

Only good things will be said about Citizen as we have no tolerance for untruths in this sacred thread. If you believe in any false Gods turn back now, for you are not welcome here.

Kneel before the divine and almighty Citizen, and beg his forgiveness for your ignorance!

And he's the sexiest guy in here too, BTW ladies.

May I submit that he is fff.net's most eligable batchleor as well?

Even here we can find informative snippets. Though I have to agree with PR too, I think the river Styxs is mentioned in Dante's Inferno, but then the Devil was modelled on Ba'al, and Dante's Inferno isn't wildly adhered to since the lowest level of Hell is very cold, not very hot.

I know, I conceded that to her, though it was under duress as I hate seeing old myths/beliefs bastardized by the new regime. "Hey, let's work this into our beliefs so it's easier to force them on these people." Yeah, not a big fan.

Even the infamous Smug Smartass comes here to ask the great Citizen a question.

There has been much reference to Dante's Inferno.

Is it a divine, theological work, with Biblical authority, or is it simply a fine and powerful work of fiction with a theological theme?

Yeah I saw, just saying. Personally I'm not particularly happy with it, but then that's pretty much what Christianity is now, there's not one Christian tradition, they're all borrowed from earlier sources, as is much of the mythology, especially some of the things seen as uniquely Christian. It think that's probably true of most religions, they are in their own way a brand name and they need to play to their demographic in order to gain 'subscribers'

Just for the sake of pointing it out, religion's 'borrowing' from one another isn't, in fact the only conclusion that we can draw from the similarities. It's also conceivable that the similarities stem from a shared truth, which each religion gets slightly wrong.

Discussing which of these it is, of course, is where the fun creeps in xD

Not really, we've got documentation of where a lot of them came from and how they got there.

Though personally I do somewhat hold to that Idea. Like muse says in Dogma:
"When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, and they never will because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up."

Though I also like this one from that film:
"Rufus: He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the shit that gets carried out in His name - wars, bigotry, televangelism. But especially the factioning of all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always, built a belief structure on it.
Bethany: Having beliefs isn't good?
Rufus: I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant."

But how can that be?

My religion can't even be slightly wrong about anything. They told me so. :<)

Aren't they all-knowing and innerrant?
