I wish I could find it (I looked briefly, then got all Gen-X and moved on)...but there was a map and a graph drawn up that showed the geopolitical influence of each and the "other" influence of each group...things like who runs the media, who runs hollywood, who runs the middle east (duh, but I'm making a point), and so on...it was actually really cool...proving, again, that it is easier to remember quality than content...if anyone knows the thing I'm talking about...bail me out here and post a link...oops, wait, gotta change the channel.

He is either an early Israelite...a Cartesian...or an agnostic/atheist who doesn't know that God himself (according to text, mind you) tried that one already...the oldest trick in, well, in the book...as it were.

In case you're not sure what religion comes closest to matching you personal beliefs, there's a handy quiz here that will figure it out for you:

Hmm. No, I'd have to dispute that list.

There might be 2.1 billion people who claim to be Christian, a much smaller segment who did so solely because they'd have felt guilty otherwise, and then a remaining two billion who couldn't agree on what a Christian was, except that anybody who disagreed, wasn't.

It's a bit dated, but I'm still fond of it: http://www.philosophersnet.com/games/

Its nice to think that, if I believed in a God, or the God I would prefer to conceive of existed, is also entirely logically consistent AND omnibenevolent. Eat your hearts out, theists!
