What do you put down as your religion for online dating profiles?

[McGrupp]

So, last couple of months I've made some pretty awesome life changes. Got myself sorted out, feeling good about myself, great even, and I've been getting outside and actually doing stuff. I'm ready to get back on the horse and get myself back out in the dating pool. New apartment, new location, figured I'd try online dating. Start making a profile, everything's going great. I'm not sweating the details or worrying about which username best represents me as a person. I'm on a roll.

Then comes the religion box. What the hell should I put here? Buddhism/Tao seems fairly accurate, somewhat. Agnostic or Spiritual but not religious somewhat less accurate but maybe more innocuous. But what am I doing trying to be more innocuous? The obvious one would be to check other and then just put Discordian in the more info box.

My conundrum is this: On the one hand I'm far more interested in whether a potential date shares my interests in comics or likes to go to museums or go hiking than diving right into an explanation of the crazy fun house that is my beliefs. I've never really felt the urge to evangelize or anything like that, why not just leave it blank and be done with it?

On the other hand, I can sum up my experience with Discordianism in two sentences. I'm far more confused about the world and my life than ever before. I'm also much happier. Hot dog! Mission accomplished, religion. (or mission accomplishing, to be more accurate) Why shouldn't I simply state Discordian and move on?

So, for those of you who have used online dating, what did you put for religion?


In the meantime I simply put Incan Monkey God as a placeholder which, now that I'm thinking about it, may be the solution I was looking for.

"None Of Your Fucking Business."

"I believe that one day giant marshmallow unicorns will crush us all." is my standard.

"I think Paul of Tarsus was a fucking liberal."

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

"Taco enthusiast."

[tyrannosaurus vex]

"3rd Revision Cult of the Great Green Arkleseizure" or just "Atheist," depending on the site an whether I want to drive potential mates away with overwrought contrived wackiness, or just bore them into a borderline suicidal depression with endless treatises on the failure of religion to address mankind's most basic questions, like "Where the fuck are my keys THIS time?"

Shit, I've seen the movie/play. The guy was fucked before she showed up.

Crap.  Random pic is from something.

These are hilarious. I feel much better about even worrying about a silly checkbox in the first place.

"Angels in America".

Pretty decent, if you like bombastic creeds about the AIDS crisis in the 80s-90s.
