Because my brain is weirder than yours!

[elisi]

This all began yesterday when I was unfortunate enough to see a fight between an Atheist and a Christian. What struck me most was that neither was a good representative for their viewpoint - mostly they just came across as quarrelsome and angry. Like Spuffies and Bangels shooting at each other on fandom_wank.

Now from that stray little thought came the notion of 'What if religions were fandoms/ships?' And off my brain went...

So - going with what I know best, I'll make the Buffyverse Christianity. To sub-divide, Spuffies are Catholics and Bangels are Protestants (and don't try to argue otherwise, OK?). The Orthodox/Eastern Churches can be Fanged Four. Umm, running out of ideas now - what ship would be suitable for Baptists? Pentecostals? The Salvation Army?

Muslims could be Harry Potter fans.

Atheists like documentaries (and maybe Harry Dresden as read by JM). ;)

And since Jehovah's Witnesses were what started this thing, they can be 'The Mountain'! Light hearted, remember?

So anyone have any ideas? Could Mormons be Smallville? And what about Hinduism and Buddhism?

(Do you think this qualifies as 'Weirdest post ever?' ::presses 'update' with trepidation::)

Late to the party, but I made it in the end. Can I be Shipping Pope? ;)
