I would teach a doctrine of strict individualism. The followers of my religion would be taught to become self-reliant and completely separate entities from their peers. I would also have some minimalism and asceticism mixed in.

A loose religious association that believed in a benevolent, omniscient, but not omnipotent deity, and valued study, compassion, and revolutionary libertarian communism.

It would mix buddhism, shintoism and freezone-scientological beliefs (I like some ideas of them... only a few, but still) - oh, and the cargo-cult idea to worship God through eating well, getting drunk and sex.

Matrix makes much moore sense than the Bible so it would be somethink like in the Matrix. It's also much cooler to think that we are all a part of a large computer system and our main funtion is to produce energy than believing that we were created by a booring old man a couple of tousand years ago.

This is what my religion would like for starters:

Baha'is believe in the unity of all humankind, and therefore the unity of all religions. This means that Baha'i adherents believe that all religions teach the same truth. They therefore reject prejudice--racial, political, or otherwise--and stress ethical teachings such as world peace, education, and sexual equality. Although they believe that God is completely unknowable, they hold that God's presence and works are evident in the creation of the world and the existence of the prophets, among other things. Important Baha'i prophets include Adam, the Jewish prophets, Jesus, and Muhammed, all of whom have been succeeded by Baha'ullah, the founder of Baha'i.

One that involves perpetual guilt. I was raised Catholic.

That's an interpretation of Catholicism I've never understood. To me, the sacrament of confession kinda alleviates the guilt. I guess I would have to be raised one and go to a Catholic school to understand, maybe.

True i did not make it up myself. But it is what I believed before I found the Baha'i Faith. And no I am not Mr. Baha'u'llah Himself.

I've never thought of that. But I think it would involve real pizza being brought to Ireland.
And people would be encouraged to have good sex. *nods*

Other than that, just do what you like, just don't hurt anyone.

so you ask me to believe that the unverse was made by spaghetti. okay. go to the railway tuneels below the Warsaw City Centre, through the tunnel opening, not the Station, and make sure no-one follows you. and don't even think of bringing a lightsabre.

Personally, I'd keep the pizza and the sex separate. Although, come to think of it, both are nice to have in bed.

Well, it give it a sense of religious legitimacy. If history has taught me one thing, it's that the funnier your hat, the holier you are. *nod* :)

my religion would be the worshipping of the big black nothingness of death and doing whatever the fuck one wants while still alive;)

01-01-2007, 21:57
The only mandatory think that my religion would have is "be good to your fellow man". Beyond that, there are no "commandments", and no punishments. If you do something "wrong" then you learn from it.

It would be half-nihilistic, rather hedonistic, rather misanthropic, and be very, very weird, with twisted, intertwined, messy power hierarchies where some would be unconditionally obedient servants and some would be maniacally laughing masters, with many steps in between. Those hierarchies would not form normal ladders, but contain innumerable branches and circular chains reaching from top to bottom and back.

Maniacalness would be one of the most important virtues, though the primary one would be rationality. Yes, rationality. Not seemingly rational behavior, but an underlying mental system devoted to rationalism and pragmatism, void of faith. On top of that mental system, many weird things, including the cheerished principles of maniacal, would run. Like software on a computer.

Also, some basic ideas are expressed in my writings about one of the three elements (Fluffiness, Evilness and Holiness) here:
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Evilness
You can read the other two articles as well, but that's the most important one in this regard.

It might involve the men having to bring their w... ...on second thought, fuck that (which, incidentally, was also my first thought, only more literally). It would teach equality of people, forbid murder in its name. Throw in a bit of charity, and a judge-ye-not-clause that would prevent any laws based on my religion, and we're set, basically.

I'm still wondering if it should also include some way of making me rich, or if the fact there are people out there who consider me their prophet would be enough.

We believe that human sexual fluids have healing powers, and churches are gigantic sex frenzies held to coincide with the services of the religious building we're built next to. We build our churches right next to those of other religions, so the pastor/imam/priest/rabbi/whatever's sermon is interrupted by people moaning. We'll be called the Disruptutians, as we disrupt other's religious practices. After the sex, we all eat pancakes with maple syrup.


We make money by charging nonmembers 5.00 entry fee, and we also take "donations" from the place we're next to to keep it down.


Maybe I should get this religion a myspace page.

Whatever it would be, I'd have to use George Carlin's condensed version of teh Ten Commandments.

2. Thou shalt try really really hard not to kill anyone (unless they worship a different invisible man than you do).
