Kool-Aid

This is just for fun and it's not meant to offend anyone with strong religious beliefs.

If you could start your own cult:

What would you name it?
What would your fundamental beliefs be?
What lifestyle would your cult inspire?

Feel free to add more info beyond these questions if you want!

I'll get the ball rolling.

I've only put minimal thought into this and it's not meant to be taken seriously. I would have a "Budism" cult (not Bhuddism, BUD-ism). We would demolish monetary values, go back to the trading system (i.e. three chickens for a pair of shoes). We wouldn't have any electricity so to speak, maybe generators could be used for certain things. Every day at 4:20, we would gather in a spiritual tent and hotbox the heck out of it while worshipping Buda, the kind and benevolent god/ess of all things grown.

My cult would be named The Cult of Czardas.

Its primary beliefs would be
a) I am God.
b) Those who I choose personally for outstanding service to Me are exalted, and must rule mankind.
c) The universe is Mine by right.
d) I have the power to annihilate anyone who displeases Me.

Its main rituals include people throwing themselves into flames for My sake; everyone must pray to Me 127 times a day facing towards Prospect Avenue; and converting everyone possible to the cult.

It doesn't seem to be too popular as of yet. :D

Well, I'm already imprisoned in an energy sphere that is hotter than the sun; that gets rid of casting myself in to flames. My days are actually 365 Earth days, so praying won't be hard, and Prospect Avenue isn't hard to find when you're nearly omniscent (deferring to the God of this universe, of course).

I can clone people and make them converts; does that count?

Can I join? You have to release me from the energy sphere, however.

Try this again...

It's all the Kool-Aid Man (http://homokaasu.org/sect/images/53963.jpg), man! (http://members.cox.net/mcox11/boggs/40_Boggs_dirtyHippie.JPG)

You see (http://www.frot.co.nz/wheels/gallery07/images/08%20Bug%20Eyed%20&%20Crazy.jpg), he's really an evil otherworldly commander. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/wannabeshoes/KoolAidManII.jpg) He (http://fuzzyblowfish.com/koolaidyugioh.jpg) turns his enemies (http://www.kls2.com/government/pogo-enemy-sm.jpg) into powder (http://www.ccmoore.com/images/Concentrated%20Yeast%20powder.jpg) and sells (http://www.prismaklubben.ymex.net/Bullshit/pics/serious.jpg) them here on Earth (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/rubens/earth-water.jpg) as water flavoring (http://www.tastethepain.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/media/100painlabel.jpg)...

And Kennedy (http://www.nevtron.si/borderline/kennedy.gif)...he knew (http://www.robotwisdom.com/ai/timeline/pergamon.gif), man (http://www.nationalism.org/news/conspiracy-theorist.jpg), so something had to be done, for The Man (http://jarrett-the-awesome.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/koolaidman.jpg).





That's what I heard, anyway...

I'd love to have a demigod as part of my Cult, but I need to know more. You can clone as many people as you want. And I'll release you from your energy sphere if you prove to me that you are worthy.

I would name my cult the Church of Loyalty to the Divine(or some crap, I don't care about the name so long as it is suitably persuasive)

My cults beliefs would be
The worship of one god
We are the chosen people to rule the world
We would be militaristic if required, cruel if necessary. Morality and Divinity only come through purging all flaws from the world through blood and pain.
Loyalty to the group is the highest of all doctrines, we are ultimately meant to serve the Divine.
Perfection is something that must be sought through physical exertions(exercise and martial arts) and studies(focus on practical knowledge of the world and the way existence works)
Death is not something worth caring about, our God will reward those strong and loyal while punishing the weak and sinful.
Improper sexual practices such as porno, masturbation, and deviancy are wrong and sex is only proper after marriage
Strength of will is a virtue

My cult's way of life would be
Ascetic, materialism should be rejected and material belongings can be a sign or cause for weakness
Pain and physical exertion are a part of life and followers are encouraged to flog the self in order to develope tolerance for physical pain and to exercise so that way the physical form is strong
Obedience to those above you and respect for those below
Strong work ethic is encouraged and cult members are told to find peace and harmony while working

Sure, why not? Everyone can be as high as they want to be, although not higher than me. ;)

First of all, I hate all of you. Hypertexting that nonsense takes time...but do you care? NO....sniffle.

Say it ain't so, Joe. Look, just get your girlfriend high and then have her introduce you to her shoes. After that she'll totally understand.*

I would start the Cult of Personality then lobby to have it banned then justify it's existence by proclaiming it is the only organisation willing to oppose fascist attitudes in the governement. Anyone is welcome to join, the only criteria is a split personality.

Say what?

Shut up!
