Can a thread be jacked if there is no thread?
If so, or even if not, I'd like to point out that that was one of the funniest things I've read here, barring Clavus and his tales of a suggestive and questionable nature.

On a thread related note, is there really anything to prove when it comes to believing in a religion? Who's to say what is right, and what is wrong, anyway? And what evidence do they have, other than slightly different translations of one of the books, and a 'divine urge' to teach that way?
I think that religion should just be believed in (if at all) as
you would have it be; that's probably what will be right in the end, as long as you use your sensibility and your ability to interpret what you read in your beliefs...
What kind of creator would measure the merits of his creatures by how well they followed everyone else in their acts of worship? Would it not be 'better' to just believe in the idea of divine perfection, including the perfect ability to forgive our less meaningful acts?
I'm an atheist, but if I believed in anything, that's what it would be.
