Not as such. But when your philosophies were dictated by a deity tends to be when it gets classified as religion.

I will throw in. I care nothing for Hinduism, but Hanuman seems like a pretty cool god. mostly, I wish to confound the religious right.

It’s the science of Intelligent Deliberation. No need to invoke God (or even other fake gods).

These are the same sorts of people who were working in Louisiana on a law that made public school funds available to private religious schools. They were shocked and horrified when they passed the law and discovered that other religions besides Christianity could make use of these funds for their schools as well - e.g. Muslims. It just hadn’t occurred to them, somehow, either that people other than Christians would want to make use of these new rules, or that there even existed religions other than Christianity… They’re incredibly thick, it’s just not clear just how incredibly thick they are.

Agents say he then admitted to them that he crashed his car into the Ten Commandments monument at the Capitol, then left his damaged car and walked to the Federal Building.
The Secret Service says the man told them that Satan made him crash his car into the statue.
He also told agents that Satan told him to urinate on the statue.
According to investigators, the man says he is bipolar and had been off his medication for quite some time.

Many people get hung up about it one way or another. It’s just a label representing a metaphysical concept. We could just as easily use “bitcoin”, “Massachusetts Institute of Technology”, “happiness”, or “bOING bOING”. None of them are real in a concrete sense.

To be fair, I think they only anticipated it being extended to real religions.

if only the satanist had used Dr. Hikita’s overthruster, he could’ve used the Ten Commandments monument to access the 8th dimension! sadly, he had Dr. Lizardo’s model, with predictable results.

No matter where you go, there you are :wink:

EDIT:

Because two degrees of over determination allows us access to an n-dimensional space from any space that has less than n+2 degrees of freedom.

Full disclosure: Some ethanol may have been involved in this “logic.”

Thanks for the correction! I liked the understatement in the description below the picture :

There, within his throbbing heart, the astonished audience were taken aback to find enshrined an image of Rama and Sita. Never again did anyone make fun of Hanuman’s devotion.
