As to the OP.

You believe in Christ, repent, die, go to heaven, very easy.

I thought only 1/3 of the world are Xians (including Mormons and JW in adherents.com), and the majority of Xians were Catholics. Does it imply somehow that Catholicism was more correct and "inspired" than the other sects of Xianity?

I would also venture to tell you Islam is about as pervasive geographically as Xianity. So Islam might also be true?

Appeal to majority will only give support to Catholicism and Sunni Islam, to tell the truth.

I find it curious that the Xtian Heaven has no sex in it. Will one be neutered?

At least the Islamic Paradise has lots of sex in it, even if it is from a lecherous-male point of view.

Odin inspired me to write the posts in this thread.
Therefore, Odin exists.

Praise the All-Father! Those who died fighting in the Iraq war are now feasting in the halls of Valhalla. Those of us with a less-than-bellicose nature are doomed to Hel's cold domain.

Which of the Gods has stood the test of time? Lets start with the Pentateuch, and work our way forward, only one faith has stood the test of time.

By that, I suppose you mean that one equals many. I mean, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., are all going strong in this world at this particular (test of) time. But then again, you've demonstrated an-ostrich-with-its-head-in-the-sand mentality concerning religion, so I imagine you believe your cult is somehow special.

But then again, who doesn't presuppose his favorite team to be special?

No I've demonstrated that YHWH has stood the test of time, all the other religions are offshoots.

The Pentateuch precedes the Gilgamesh, so the case for YHWH is strong.

At least it can be established that it is the premier religious figure that has superceded all religions.

Yup, I agree with Badfish. Yaweh has existed the longest of any other god in human history. The Bible is the most printed, translated, read, and famous book on Earth. The Judeo-Christian God has definately stood the test of time.

The Tao has stood the test of time at least as well as your sex-obsessed sky fairy. Ditto for Buddah. How is Buddah an offshoot?

For that matter, how is Vishnu an offshoot?

And you DO realize there are still people around who actually worship Odin, right?
