What religion would you join for an entirely frivolous reason?

[AdamAnt]

Hinduism - fabulous weddings, and saris make for a v flattering wedding outfit.

Islam - head scarf must be handy for disguising bad hair days

Judaism - the Kippah would neatly camouflage DH's bald spot.

Christianity - get to have a swig of wine of a Sunday morning

Posters will be disqualified for reasons that are not deeply shallow and/or glib.

catholocism - no one blinks at loads of babies
buddism -rewarded for good behaviour
jewish - fab music at wedding

Does Steiner count? So I can start up long threads on MN.

catholic for the incense and the stupid outfits.....

scientology for a laugh

Joining the Jehovah's Witnesses would make December a whole lot easier on my bank account.

lol at scientology for a laugh

somehow, it doesn't strike me as the most humourous of religions....

Catholicism - lots of cool art/statues, etc.
Judaism - all the bagels you can eat.
Amish - nice hats and proximity to horses.
Calvanism - um, eh, nope, can't think of anything.

Church of JC of Latter Day Saints - polygamy = lots of stand by babysitters

I'd be a Jedi, cool weapons although I don't fancy the naff blanket looking cape thing! I do like the thought of my own robot to do the housework too

Islam - trip to Mecca would be great.

Judaism - the sabbath (sure it's actually loads of work in real life, but since I'm meant to be shallow, I am going to assume it just a nice rest).

Amish - no need to work out how to programme the video.

Scientology - might get to meet Tom Cruise and/or John Travolta.

Church of England - free babysitter (I mean sunday school) every Sunday morning and no-one will notice if you have a nice nap at the back.

Ribena "Amish - no need to work out how to programme the video." ROFL

Christianity - I want a huge xmas tree and decorations all over the house. Being Jewish I don't get to do that.

Scientology - I too want to see if I can stretch my mouth into that insane permanent smile look.

I also want to be a born again Christian because the group that met at the dcs swimming lessons had a table filled with donuts and they looked delicious!

Ah but Weebles, if you're Jewish do you get first dibs on Jewish chaps? I have yet to meet a wrong un

Not met my ex then? That's about as wrong as they come!

Oh [crestfallen] But you still had first dibs though

I have one Jewish DIL, who's training to be a rabbi, and one Muslim DIL and they both love to come to our home at Christmas to celebrate. 'Mix 'n' match', I say.

lolling @ Calvinism having nothing frivolous to offer. I have been racking my brains on that one, but I think you might be right.

I've got one on Calvinism (if a little obscure). He took some really heavy doctrinal stuff and named it after a pretty flower (TULIP)!!!

As a student I quite liked all the dancing and singing the Hari Krishnas did in the streets ...

oo, MaryBS, that's a good one!

JWs - you get out and about, and meet lots of interesting people

lol marybs
..they then tell you to feck off...
would love to say yes to jw just to see their face
take me to your church oh toothy blue suited one you have convinced me

christadelphins..they are never poor

Message withdrawn

sikh - they are always happy (seriously, I've never met a miserable one!)

JH - plenty of wives to help do the housework!

jewish - have the best comedians, loads of them

christianity - those strange oranges with candles and sweets stuck in them (christingle?)!! where you set light to the person's hair in front!

Baptist - you get a bath at least once in your life.

Presbyterian - you only have to do it when you're a baby, and then it's only a cat's lick, instead of a big dip.
