Where it mentions agnosticism in the FAC.

[edit]

The line, 'In the last of these appearances, the belief system of the First Amalgamated Church is revealed to include agnostic beliefs, the Father beginning the service with the words: "We are gathered here before one or more gods or fewer...".' Is probably disputable. I would doubt agnosticism and just a joke on the problem with mixing the world's current major religions, as the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Bahá'í, etc.) are monotheistic, Hinduism is polytheistic, and Buddhism is (arguably) atheistic, with no real central deity. Should this line be changed or removed? 207.255.35.246 (talk) 02:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After leaving this here for a while, I just removed it. If anyone feels it should be added back in, please comment on why. 207.255.35.246 (talk) 05:16, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robotology

[edit]

There is a line "Two symbols of the religion are shown in the episode. The first is a zig-zag line..." and no one gives the second symbol. I am curious what it is. Ben --70.145.140.83 (talk) 14:32, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Space Pope

[edit]

This article suggests Space Pope heads a still-extant Catholic Church; his admittedly sparse article on the Futurama Wiki says he's the head of the First Amalgamated Church. The Infosphere has him as the head of "Space Catholicism". Since Space Pope is usually just a quick throwaway joke, maybe there isn't an "official" answer, but if there is, it would be nice if we could find it. --BDD (talk) 18:31, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
