A Bicycle Religion?

LONGPATH

I know! Let us declare peace and a general amnesty!

Forget it, until I kill several hundred thousand people and occupy your livingroom for years, AND you convert, NO PEACE. Just call me W.

OK, I'll kill 3000+ innocent people in your homeland. And even if you convert, I'll still kill you because of where you were born. I'll also attempt to control the rest of the world or kill them too, with weapons of mass destruction that a freind of mine might or might not have, he won't allow any one to verify it one way or another. Of course you might send in your spies,...... woops, they were all outed and the CIA cut to shreds on the late 1970's and again in the 1990's all in the name of journalism, where your right to know supercedes your right to exist. (Valerie Plame eat your heart out you silly analyst!) And we all know that it takes a good 20 years to infiltrate an effective operative into a hostile foreign government. Oh, you know who I am. My first name rhymes with Obama!

Oh, you mean the US Govt outed Valerie Plame as retribution, while no one in the neo-colonial government took responsibility for their actions. Of course, we won't mention W's inability to finish one job before getting the country bogged down in a war for oil. You, Osama, killed 3000, and Dubya sacrificed 3973 US soldiers for a war that served no purpose, while allowing the unfinished war to rot and al Quaida and the Taliban to regroup, rearm, and go on the offensive. Fortunately W's friends are safe and financially sound. Haliburton is raking in millions, and his neo-con mercenary buddies are getting rich fighting a war for the US without being subject to anyone's laws. Unfortunately, W's abandoned education, leaving a system in shambles, a system that is put to shame by a growing number of countries. W's left the uninsured, the poor, and the unfortunate out in the wind to whither and die. He has used the Bible, though, to form the few policies that he thinks up on his own--maybe--like banning stem cell research, systematically alienating non-Texas Christian religions, like the funding of religious NGO's (his lovely little end run around separation of Church and State. I'm sure the Iraqi's really appreciated the evangelical freaks from the Billy Graham cult that showed up in Iraq with their million plus god fearin' bibles--despite the official prohibition against NGOs bringing bibles in so they could evangelize, i.e. look down their noses at other religions.

The Bush litter should have been culled long ago.

I kinda like all the gods and faiths. Maybe I'll sorta practice them all!

TheDarkLord

That's a great idea!

stlblues

What about the God of rubber? I like rubber.

LONGPATH

Synthetic of course!

TheBugGuy

To answer the original question, it sounds about as valid a religion as Scientology.

That being said, I follow the Shimano path and worship the Steel God (but only 'cause I can't afford the Carbon God's collection plate ).

Shimano is not a faith. It's a scam like Scientology.

Ask yourself, "What would Tom Cruise ride?" If you have any of that equipment then you have strayed from the true path.

Tom Cruise would ride one of these:
