Is the worship of Mothra as valid as any other religion?

Please look at this website before you vote:

The Church of American Secular Humanism.
CASH.

2. Hey, when people pray to Mothra, she *delivers*

I'd like to see the Dali Lama or Ratzi take on Godzilla and win. ;)

4. When the shit hits the fan Mothra is there for her followers.

[ltfranklin]

3. Mothra RULES!

Godzilla DROOLS!

Hey, what happened to the Priestesses link on the webpage?

5. I voted "no"

If she can't keep her website up, she isn't worth worshipping.

6. Site crashed, exceeded data amount for the next hour.

10. I will pray to Mothra for the site's restoration.

[Ready4Change]

7. Other: More so.

Mothra has some internal consistency. Many other religions do not.

Case closed.

Thank you! Thank you!

16. No way! The universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

I’m sure you now realize how important it is that your students are taught this alternate theory. It is absolutely imperative that they realize that observable evidence is at the discretion of a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this, and unfortunately cannot describe in detail why this must be done as I fear this letter is already becoming too long. The concise explanation is that He becomes angry if we don’t.

18. I am drawn to Mothra as if to a giant candle.

<=====Or light bulb.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

19. No, it isn't

Leastwise, if anyone genuinely believed in and worshipped Mothra then it would be, but the assumption I would make if I heard someone claiming to be a Mothra-worshipper was that they were doing so solely as a joke, and it would take an awful lot to convince me otherwise, and at that point I would start assuming that they were insane.

20. Mothra Always Answers My Prayers...

... so far, the answer is always 'NO', but at least it's consistent.

[catbert836]

21. Yes, it is.

Not that I'm intolerant of religion or aything. Being a new Mahayana Buddhist, I'm tolerant of every religion. If people want to worship Mothra, I've got no problem with it.

[Zhade]

22. I thought you were Catholic.

Is there another 1000+ Catbert on DU?

[catbert836]

23. I told you, I'm a NEW Bhuddist

Just converted, I did. It took a long time, though.

[Zhade]

24. Ah! Being an atheist, I didn't realize what you meant.

Since I don't keep up on all the myriad faiths, I thought "new Buddhist" was some form of Buddhism, rather than you stating "I'm now a Buddhist".

Sorry I got confused! Hope you find something good on your new path. Can I ask what prompted the decision?

[catbert836]

25. Well, I was thinking a lot.

Then I made the connection between us all being "children of God" and Jesus being the "son of God". I started to have a great reverence for nature. Then I took the Belief-O-Matic, and found out my beliefs are only 13% Catholic compared to 100% Mahayana Buddhist. The rest proceded from there.
My new path is excellent, thank you. Things sure are looking up for the future.

[Zhade]

26. Jesus, real or not, seems to have been a lot like a Buddhist.

You might be closer to original Christianity than you were before!

[panzerfaust]

27. The Buddha is a Christian Saint.

Truely.

Though it was due to a misunderstanding, he was canonized and has at least two Catholic Churches named for him.

I think that a few years ago when a bunch of saints (including St Chris) were let go, he also was canned - but I do not think that the names of the churches were changed.
