AquaMerina Posted November 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Wow. I want to say that they are silly for thinking this turtle is thier God, but to each thier own. Let them believe what they want to. But I do think it's funny ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Boss Posted November 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2009 UPDATE! It seems there is not one, but FOUR turtle gods in East India. Here is an actual photo. No wonder the officials want to get their hands on these rare and deadly specimens. It is urgent they stop the worship of these turtles before all the pizza in India disappears forever and the cries of COWABUNGA! echo in the wind.

Kugelblitz Posted November 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Wow, how silly. All the other religions are soooo much more reasonable given they are validated by the reliable duo of xenophobic tradition and unsubstantiated holy books written by unkown authors. I bet if one just gave a chance to let the turtle enter one's heart, he could change your life. I wonder if he had a virgin birth as well, or flew on a winged horse to heaven, or held up a magic sword to stop the earth's rotation (without killing everyone)? Now those are some reasonable ideas, not silly at all. No question about it, believing a turtle is god is sure silly!! But don't worry everyone, since they don't believe in the RIGHT religion (insert favored religion here) they are all going to hell!! Somebody hurry and send them some missionaries and destroy their culture!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_of_Blades Posted November 16, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Not any more silly than any other religion when you think about it. If a snake and a flaming bush can talk, why couldn't a turtle be god? Besides turtles are wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
