condensed religions

This NS competition asked for a summary of world religions - in 125 words or less!

Catholicism: one God with three manifestations; fun allowed if you confess; pray in special place once a week; lots of candles and incense.


Protestantism: ditto (but fewer candles); fun allowed if you feel guilty; pray every day.


Calvinism: ditto, but no candles, no fun and feel guilty anyway; pray constantly.


Anglicanism: up to you, really (candles optional); pray at harvest festival, weddings.


Islam: one God, one Prophet; pray four times a day.


Paganism: lots of Gods, lots of fun, lots of candles and incense; pray in wooded place.


Hinduism: lots of Gods, lots of fun; but know your place.


Buddhism: ‘God’? ‘Fun’? ‘Place’?


Taoism: more Luck than Judgement.


Scientology: more Money than Sense.
