Despite the fact that at least one known being,(Bender) has met it, and several monks very likely saw it through their telescope, most likely recognizing it? For most people, seeing is believing. Since this God duplicate is so far away that the monks have been looking for this God for hundreds of years, people can't prove that it exsist. Maybe that's why at Leela's wedding in BBS the priest says "...before one or many Gods"

Originally posted by CalculonsTalent: Christianity saw it's hey-day during the Dark Ages. There wasn't anything to look forward to in their lives (aside from disease, famine, and extreme poverty), so they emphasized the importance of living a "good" life on Earth in hopes of reaching Heaven when they died. The whole idea is absurd to me, especially in this day and age. I actually sway toward the Buddhist ideology. Buddhism stresses the importance of living a good life and working towards enlightenment, which basically means realizing that everything around you is fake and material and only true happiness can come from within you.
I also love Agnostics because they live for themselves, hold their own beliefs, and don't live by an organized religion's imposed rules. It is complete freedom, aside from being spiritually enlightened.
But I think I have gone too far off-topic. Sorry! Plus. You're wrong. I mean... there's really no way to put it... you're just... pretty much wrong. I'll explain it to you later if you really want to get into an argument, but the fact of the matter is that your whole perspective is illogical and incorrect, so much so in fact, that I felt the insistent need to point that fact out to you.

If it were, there'd be a distinct probability that your eyes wouldn't keep curving down while I'm talking to you. Which there doesn't appear to be. Now shut up and load the packages. Hermes: Fashionable Caftan of Manhattan! Things being similar? Thing have to go through the proper papers before becoming different, mon. Society can't just tango up to the desk and change its name to 'Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock'! Now where's the confirmations for those packages you loaded? Professor: What!? Because change is evil! Young people just don't realise the dangers! But the government thinks they do, those lousy conservatives... They think they can halt my research to invent a creature capable of exterminating the Thals... But they'll learn... When my superior races dominates all! Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
