73 percent of those surveyed say they believe in hell.

[cosmik debris]

Ninety-two percent of conservative Protestants believe hell exists.

Hmmmm?

The survey also shows a majority of Americans who claim to be irreligious actually do pray and are not atheists.

Double Hmmmm?

[Crunchy Frog]

1. And they think everyone but themselves are going there.

[bananas]

2. They've located hell.

It's in Waco.

[cosmik debris]

4. If we could get rid of the Christians,

This would be heaven.

[bananas]

10. You'd still have to deal with the vampires.

[cosmik debris]

11. They're Christian too, ya know. n/t

[bananas]

16. I didn't know that.

I thought they pre-dated Christianity.

[cosmik debris]

17. They converted during The Inquisition.

But then, everybody in the neighborhood did.

[Evoman]

19. Really? I thought that there was a mass exodus of Zombies from the church

after they found it really hard to find brains among the practioners.

You learn something every day.

[cosmik debris]

20. Vampires, not Zombies.

The Vampires converted. The zombies had to move on to more fertile hunting grounds.

[Evoman]

21. Ah...gotcha. For some reason, I thought zombies instead of vampires when I heard "Waco".

It makes sense.

[beam me up scottie]

24. Why thank you! I have been waiting forever for an opportunity to post this toon:

[cosmik debris]

26. Ha!

Take that, conspiracy theorists!

[uberllama42]

29. Is... is that Vacheslav Molotov?

I recently read about him when I looked up the origin of the term "Molotov Cocktail." (The Finns came up with it during World War Two.) It's startling to see his name twice within the span of a month.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. I do. The last eight years have been hell on earth.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. survey taken on Wall Street, was it?

[stillcool]

6. Religion is for people afraid of going to hell..

Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

[cosmik debris]

7. And Atheism is for people

who know better.

[stillcool]

15. I think exclaiming oneself

as knowing better because of one's belief, or disbelief is what religion is all about.

[Goblinmonger]

22. So if you say

that 2 + 2 = Chicken Soup and I tell you that you are wrong and I know better, I belong to some mathematical religion? Sorry, Fail.

[stillcool]

25. What? The sky is blue..

If you say turquoise and I say periwinkle, who is right?

[Evoman]

8. Haha....I can't believe people still buy that shit.

Oh noes..hhhhellllll. Ohhhh...sooooo scary.

People are afraid of the dumbest things.

[cosmik debris]

9. And That's Why We Elect Republicans.

Most Americans can be scared shitless by any old myth you want to dream up.

[Evoman]

12. I've got to get with the program.

If I'm so goddamn smart, why am I so poor? Maybe being scared of myths might help me in the long run. Or maybe if I was evil enough, I could take advantage of these scared people.

It's also entirely possible I'm not very smart at all.

Hmmm.

[cosmik debris]

14. Cult Leader is the way to go.

Building a mega-church takes too long.

[Evoman]

18. Yeah, but cult leader takes way too much charisma.

Whereas if your one of these church jerks, you only have to speak-ah...LIKE-AH...moronnnn-ah, praise jesus, PRAISE JESUS, oh my good lord, PUHRAISSE JESUS-AH, in order to be rich-ah and prosperous-ah. You have built in moron supporters...no need to find your own.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Guess I'll always be in the minority of 27%.

[Goblinmonger]

23. On an unrelated note, this also just in

most people are morons.

[Occam Bandage]

27. You'd thihnk more people would act like it, then.

"Oh, I believe in eternal damnation for those who do not live a life of charity and justice. Oh, and fuck everyone else."

[ZombieHorde]

28. The poll question was biased.

The poll question they used was; "Did you know that George W. Bush is the president of the United States?"

All of those who answered 'yes' obviously believed in Hell, at least according to the poll researchers. Most people, including many atheists, felt wrong about arguing against that logic. They just couldn't bring themselves to do it.

[and-justice-for-all]

30. Oh conservative Protestants....

I would say that those 'irreligious' folks do not have any organized religion affiliation.
