  1.

        1. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.

        2. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

  2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.

  3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

  4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

 

The example you provided would not fit with either part of the first definition.  Neither would it coincide with definitions 2 or 3.  You could say that the example provided would fit in with the 4th definition, assuming your activity was pursued with conscientious devotion. ;)

 

As far as following a religion without changing behavior, absolutely, I've even pointed that out earlier in the thread.  There's even a joke about it. "Jews don't recognize Jesus.  Protestant's don't recognize the Pope. Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store."

 

Some people learn well from religion, and others don't, its just like any other influence in life. 

 

Kivam, I suppose I interpret one's own personal experience as non-mythological, though there can be cases made for poor reasoning, and hallucination.  I suppose at this point we'd have to agree to disagree on that point.

 

PS; I really do think the Xbox360 is the superior console, SD wuz here.

 

So apparently SD made the cardinal sin of propping up the PS3, he forgot which system he was rooting for...  :P ;D

PS; I really do think the PS3 is the most incredible piece of engineering to have been developed since the wheel.

Well, you know you had it coming, and that was just a 'preview' of what maybe to come.  ;)

I have four... PS3's.  And three chickens.  And a melon.  And an avocado...  and...

The best CG I've seen is Bioshock

 

StarCraft 2 intro movie at all? Okay, maybe off-topic as it's on PC (although rumours of a possible 360 version are circulating).

 

In the case of 360 versus PS3 the simple answer is that at this time there is no contest. The PS3 does not have one single, exclusive game it can boast about and will not until FF13 comes out, whilst the 360 has Halo 3, Gears of War and Mass Effect. What the PS3 really needs is a game that slips under the radar, but then comes out and blows everything around it out of the water. It will be interesting to see when and if that happens.
