What is that thing singing about Moses? A whoopee cushion?

I know what religion it’s missing.
Pastafarianism.
I am deeply offended, and hurt.

The candles one I can’t place, but the others:

Nguzo Saba — Sikhism?
4 Noble Truths, 8-fold Path – Buddhism
5 Pillars – Islam
5 Books of Moses – Judaism
Oneness of the Universe — Taoism?
Free those who trust in him – Xianity
Break out of the cycle of rebirth – Hinduism?
Michel S.

Nguzo Saba sounds more African than Indic — I’d guess one of the Afro-Carribean syncretic religions.

Oneness could be any pantheistic religion — or even Kabbalistic Judaism; the image of a broken God and the healing process that all of us needs to engage in.

Cycle of rebirth is surely Buddhism — while the Hindus believe in reincarnation, the emphasis on achieving Nirvana is more of a Buddhist trait. I think.

I thought the candles were a reference to the menorah, until it mentioned Moses. So I’m stumped.

Unless of course it’s referring to the One True Faith, Frodology. I mean, candles don’t have a place in our religion yet, but they could do, maybe at some point in the future.

@Rat Bastard: I think it’s supposed to be a lemon.

Well, maybe the candles are not referring to a “religion” so much as a “holiday. So maybe that’s Kwanzaa.

Could the candles be Wicca or something like it? It could just be a general thing common to all religions though, all the other panels are much more specific, and candles are practically a universal in religious worship.

I’m pretty sure Sikhs have 7 principles to follow (although a reference to a dagger would have made it easier), so I’m guessing 3rd panel is indeed Sikhism.

Perhaps acknowledging the oneness is pantheism.

(The zombie made me think it was Christianity, but then I realized that the characters don’t have anything to do with what they’re saying.)

7 principles is Unitarian Universalist.
