Conformity

Well this is what you get when you do not read the directions :rolleyes:

The ultimate compromise...for poll above. Complete answers at the bottom

In order to be as all inclusive I have chosen certain parameters that should allow just about anyone to participate.

The setup and question are as follows:

You are living in a society where everyone believe the earth is flat and that the sun and the planet revolve around the earth.

That canines are gods and individuals must be sacrificed chopped up and fed to the canines on every full moon.

Now the question which is in the form of an option:

You know that the earth is round (hopefully) and that the earth is a planet that revolves around the sun and that canines are just quadrupeds and not gods (hopefully). So you have the following options; Which would you choose?

Option 1

Now if you dare speak up about it you will be labeled a blasphemer as well as evil and either tortured to death to purge you of your misguided ways or at best banished from society.

Option 2

OR you pretend that the people are rational and you find the next available canine worshipping earth is flat earth female, settle down and raise some more earth is flat earth, canine worshippers.

Option 3

You become a hermit and put up with a bunch of gossip from the canine worshippers.

Option 4

Other

I would convince them that I am a god and that the way to heaven is by having all of their females mate with me...doggie style. :D

[Evil_Mage_Ra]

I'd just go ahead and play along. I may be rational, but I'm not very brave when it comes to torture and death on one hand, or a lifetime of self-appointed exile on the other.

Once I'm settled down, I'd probably search the flat-earth Internet for forums of like-minded individuals, and grumble about the stupidity of the masses, haha.

Ever seen that Simpson's episode where Principal Skinner is tied to a stake and the townspeople are getting readty to burn him? That would be me. "I'm telling you people THE EARTH GOES AROUND THE SUN!"

In that time when there was no forensic technology, DNA, Microscope, ballistics technology available I would paralysize as many Preists and Religious people as I possible could by stabbing their spines with a sharp sword.

[Rhinoqulous]

I'd retire to the woods, grow some plants, and privately worship the Screaming Blue Ants.

Rhinoq

Damn it ...LOL....why didn't I think of this one!!!?**^&!! I here by appoint you the new God of the hypothetical flat earth canine worshippers

[Philboid Studge]

I'd follow Rhinoq and the Ants. We'd be like Joseph and Hyrum Smith (except the part where they were killed by a mob). Can I be in charge of the plants?

By chance are any of those plants smokeable? :P
