The Magic Pudding

Religion can be frustrating and much worse.
But this thread isn't for the discussion of these woes.
In an attempt to subvert religion, or just for a laugh,
please share the most ridiculous instances of religion or woo.

I’ll start with Yogic Flying
QuoteYoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali, describes this first stage as “hopping,” and further
defines a second stage as hovering for a short time, and a third as complete mastery of the sky.

The hats bishops wear are pretty bloody ridiculous. As are their stupid robes and silly scepters.
QuoteI find it mistifying that in this age of information, some people still deny the scientific history of our existence.

I recently read a theologian's response to the 6,000 year old earth theory, when asked why there are fossils of animals that no many has ever written about he said this:  "They are put there by God, as a means to test out faith."  My wife and I had to read it twice, then once we stopped laughing, we actually felt sorry for the idiot.

A good many of the believers cause me to have laugh riots.

Of course let's not forget good old Touchdown Jesus, just off I-75 just over the Ohio border.

The legendary prophet Zarquon told his followers he was going away for a while, but he'd be back soon.
So his followers lived and died over the millennia, all the while expecting Zarquon to drop by today,
tommorrow, next week, or some time really soon.
I imagine they told those living free of Zarqon to expect imminent punishment.
But that's just fiction.
No one could really be that silly.

At least Zarquon turned up at the end! But as you say that was fiction.
