Religion Cards

New Humanist has a side-splitting list of religion cards - various religions and denominations get their much-earned mockery in the form of being variously portrayed as obscenely wealthy and sheep-amassing giants who promulgate embarrassingly implausible beliefs and sanctimoniously take offense at nearly everything. (they'll probably take offense to that too) The atheists get off comparatively lightly - geeky and broke perhaps, but not self-deluded.
(Hat tip to PZ)

They really should expand on this idea. How about religion-based MTG cards?



Christians get White.
Pagans/Wiccans get Green.
Satanists get Black, of course.
For Muslims, I'm thinking Red for some reason.
Atheists get Blue (duh, logic and reason)
Jews get...d'oh, only five colors. Well, they get to share Red with the Muslims. That'll work out fine, I'm sure.

Tarvuism

Look out world, here comes a new parody religion.

Their videos are so flashy and well-produced, with an alluring emotional pull, but one question haunts me:

What the hell is Tarvusim?

They never ever tell you! Something about talking to an octopus, spouting incredibly vague descriptions of one's religion, and reading books at exactly the same pace.

That's probably the joke right there - religions are flashy and contagious and go to great lengths to look pleasant and enjoyable for newcomers, but underneath that shiny exterior, all you have is a bunch of people who believe some really, really crazy things. Instead of being an emotional and social boon, it's actually an intellectual lobotomy.

"It's like my spiritual intelligence has been magnified, like, a billion million thousand times!" :D
