@ xfrankie - 18.03.15 - 11:12am fundamental set of beliefs and practices agreed by a group...based on that, they certainly are all religions, none more than the other including rugby, i can't argue there... And I already said I see a lot of sports and their followers showing a lot of similarities to all the concept deemed as religions, even a lot of new research have shown that, in the end, are you arguing just for the sake of the arguing, because I still stand with the definition or do you disagree and say that Satanism is not a religion and Christian and Judaism is? stop beating around the bush, and answer straightforwardly. |

your relying on an all inclusive definition to call it one, I can use anything with that definition and still be right, so would you, however if it is the restricted ordinary usage/common understanding of the definition of religion, satanism as merely a non-theistic ideology or symbol or whatever, then it is not, for want of the element of worship/belief in god or gods.... unless ur talking about theistic satanism in which case it is,

Just a few minutes ago you said the 'common' definition of religion was belief in God or Gods, but now you are saying the 'common' definition extends to belief in the wisdom of a human being too, I am wondering, are you confused or something?

To me real religion is pro something. It doesn't only exist to be anti something, like satanism. There is even a small group of atheists who gather just to be theists, while they gather they just mock theists. In other words they only exist to counter something else, like agent Smith in the matrix.

Islam according to your 'common' usage is only a religion because Allah comes into the equation, not Muhammad, make up your mind, is the ordinary definition belief in God or Gods or it extends to wisdom of an enlightened human being too?
