    it makes people happy, and kind. it cures diseases. it makes you feel safe. it finds your car keys, and so on and so forth.

    Now that you know all that, any questions?

    Is this going to have some punch line like "engineering" or "our mind" or does is this argument going in some other direction?

    Do you have to believe in it or does it just happen?

    I'm curious to see what kind of questions are asked, in challenge, if you will.

    I do intend to answer them, meantime :)

    you have to believe in it AND worship it.

    more questions please :)

    That sounds like too much work.

    Can you find it at a boot sale?

    it is alot of work, but so very worth it. you'll see this once you've opened your mind to 'thing' and begin to understand it.

    you can find it everywhere.

    more questions!

    It is very racist to call Obama "thing".

    If the thing is immensely complicated, open to anyone's interpretation, filled with ambiguous Rules, arrogant, self centered, egotistical, mean spirited and discriminates against women will it become a religion?

    it's the one true thing ... beyond all other things.

    - - - Updated - - -

    very likely, yes. but it's not my place to confirm or deny that. does that answer your question?

    - - - Updated - - -

    it can't 'become a religion' because it's already everyThing. those other mean things you said are just your misunderstandings. if you read between the lines, you'd see that none of that is true.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did think of that, actually. Thing is manifest in many Things, even Things.

    one other question, any virgins promised to believers when they die, these are important questions ;)

    you're misinterpreting Thing, if you think there will be actual virgins waiting for you on the other side. You need to open your mind :)

    I don't think any thing about this "thing", just asking questions about it... the answers are vague and elusive, the sign of a religion for sure. ;)

    they're only vague and elusive because you're closed minded and don't understand. you're resistance to believing is what is preventing you from having clarity.

    for example, I've already told you that Thing is everything, what more do you need to know on that particular topic? since it's the ultimate, there is nothing more that needs to be said. surely that's enough to convince you to believe?
