Get the religioso mug.Fortune Cookie Religion describes religious beliefs that are not based on reading religious texts in their entirety but by reading one disjointed verse at a time, as though getting small doses of wisdom akin to a fortune cookie.
The reader then forces that one short verse to apply to their lives and those around them without reading the chapters before or after. This style of religion creates a tendancy for the words to be misinterpretted or taken out of context. Also the reader usually does very little to understand the culture at the time, or other inferences surrounding the time and place that the scripture was written.
In essence it is a shallow religious base comprised of little effort or research on the part of the person. Someone who is Fortune Cookie Religious likes little sayings, quotes, and things with bits of scripture on them, to outwardly show to others that they are religious, but rarely do they read their religious texts themselves. They wait for someone else to tell them what to believe.

Get the Fortune Cookie Religion mug.One of the coolest punk bands around who date back to the 80's when punk was still punk, instead of a trendy way to dress or some other Blink 182-listening poser-bullshit.
After 20 years in the industry, the band members have receding hairlines and still truely know how to rock!

"Hey you, is there something worth aspiring to? And can it be found in a record store? well, its not there anymore. Just think of all the things we did we were different, just like all the other kids.
Missy was a teen blue video star,
Tom took his life in his mother's car,
Milo went to college but you knew about that,
Rodney played our records,
Jimmy started riots,
Laurie was always quiet,
she was battling depression...
Hey you, is there something worth belonging to? And can I pick it up for a song? Or a diploma or a worthy cause, well, let me tell you that there's nothing wrong, its just that ones like us will never belong..." - Excerpt from Bad Religion's "You don't belong"
