Out of all the topics on PC, why did you have to choose this one as your main victim? :confus:

I ask you to stop. For random discussions we have more than enough game topics (and the OT sticky as well), okay?

I have to post my agreement, even if it is spam. (Is it?)

I'm not. I'm celebrating Yule, which is what Christmas used to be called before the Christians hi-jacked the celebration of the solstice and claimed it as their own. It's almost exactly the same as the Christian celebration, but without all the angels.

I vote we call the PC religion 'Hunchmanology' og 'Piratology'.

-ology is the study of something. Maybe Hunchmanism or Piratism.

But in religion, any word can be given any meaning, so that doesn't really matter! I still vote for 'Hunchmanology' or 'Pirateology' because it parodies the crazy religion Scientology (which is crazy even by religious standards! :o ).

I don't celebrate Christmas either - I celebrate the New Year! :mrgreen:

Everyone does in Russia. Christmas is celebrated by the religious people here only - and it's celebrated on 7th January for some idiotic reason.

Wikipedia:

This is because of their use of the traditional Julian Calendar, under which December 25 falls on January 7 as measured by the standard Gregorian Calendar.

It's ironic though, on the Gregorian Calendar, 7th is the end of Christmas. :hinhin:

Pastafarianism is a religion based around pirates, so Piratism is off the list.

Moreover, in Russia we celebrate the "Old-Style New Years day" on 14th January. Just another reason to get drunk you see. :mrgreen: :lol:

I deleted Hoodie's post as it was completely unneccesary and didn't contribute anything to the discussion. I, and other mods, have told you before, Hoodie: Don't post just for the sake of posting. Only post if you can contribute to the discussion.

If 'pirateology' is off the list of possible names, I suggest 'Communism'.

Oh, wait...

That made my day. Communism...HA!

Hunchism is a bit too defining. You don't have Godianity or Mohammedslam. In fact, my religion, Pastafarianism and Buddhism are the only ones where the God is in the title..

Mohammed isn't the Islam God. Islam God = Jewish God = Christian God

Well you get my point. It isn't called 'Vishnudity' now is it?

That looks rude...

Pastafarianism is a joke religion, and its god is called 'Flying Spaghetti Monster'. And Buddha is not a god. Buddhism is a religion without a god, kinda like a prison without walls.

And Christianity has its god in its name, because Jesus and Yahweh are apparently the same person, even though anyone who has read the New Testament would disagree.

Vishnu isn't the supreme god of Hinduism either. Brahman is.
