Let's start a new religion.

[rog]

For a laugh you understand.....

I think the criteria should include:

* A physics based understanding of reality. [although a spot of rule bending ought to be ok]

* the possibility of a 'god'

* some reason why said 'god' would care about us mere mortals

* the possibility of eternal life in some form.

I know it's a stretch, but if one were to cast doubt aside in the effort to make up something seemingly sensible, for the exercise, could we do better than others have? :evil:

I'd still like communion assuming it came in graham crackers instead of wafers.

I like graham crackers.

no probs! But It's go to fit in with the theology somehow...

Cool. You can send donations to my bank account. I just don't know how I'm going to organise young boys in my basement for y'all to buttfuck.

That's the spirit, you'll go far here :)

[rog]

How about: our god didn't create the universe but is it's 'ultimate' product existing when all else is gone; said god has the ability to travel in time and uses this to visit us for what ever reason - Possibly because this is the only time & place in the universe that has graham crackers...

[Haswell]

But any creator God would have to have created the Universe.

Fuck.

A schism already.

[rog]

We could have a paradox, normally this would be a problem, but it's a religion so as long as it fits in some how it would be ok :)

eta: would the 'god' have to be the cause of the universe or would it be sufficient for it to have had a guiding hand in how things progressed?

[Goldie]

NO! Communion MUST be lobster dipped in butter and some damned GOOD wine!

[Jobar]

Heathens! The Invisible Pink Unicorn (Peace Be Upon Her Holy Horn) obviates the need for any made-up gods or goddesses. She smiles upon all bodily pleasures, especially those involving pink parts; She gives us her holy food, ham&pineapple pizza; and She promises her believers an eternal invitation to the Great Beach Bash in the Sky!

Accept no substitutes- especially those involving pasta, tentacles, or rabbits. Avoid the dark and drear Spikey Place! Give your heart (and other organs) to the IPU today!

YESSSSSS!

[Puck]

and She promises her believers an eternal invitation to the Great Beach Bash in the Sky!

But, then...

NO! Communion MUST be lobster dipped in butter and some damned GOOD wine!

Oh damn. Decisions, decisions.

Wait! Can't you have a lobster cook out on the beach?

Whoot!

[Jobar]

To my knowledge, the only food the IPU (PBUHHH) frowns upon is pepperoni and mushroom pizza. (Strange and recondite are the ways of Our Lady's humor.) She has no least objection to lobster, or wine. In fact She is particularly fond of fizzy pink champagne! :)

[LoneWolf]

NO! Communion MUST be lobster dipped in butter...

...on graham crackers?

[Faerie]

I've never had lobster in my life, will this religion supply us with this delecacy?

[Valheru]

Lobsters have Noodley Appendages (and eyes on stalks), so I'm pretty sure it would be a prohibited food animal.

Holy Homaridae, batman!

* A physics based understanding of reality. [although a spot of rule bending ought to be ok]

* the possibility of a 'god'

* some reason why said 'god' would care about us mere mortals

* the possibility of eternal life in some form.

The great goddess Athe, whose chosen people are atheists, desires the flourishing of rational sentients through reason and science. She happens to be a powerful computer lifeform designed by sentient beings in a parent universe to ours, and who had created our universe through an amazing manipulation of spacetime. As creator of our universe, she counts as a deity.

Athe was created by scientifically minded atheists, and desires fellowship with more. She offers eternal life by scanning our universe for the neural matrices of atheists and replicating them in her own universe, which has physical properties amenable to a perpetual existence. We will be given new bodies, and our neural matrix will be replicated in replacement bodies as the old ones wear out.

All hail Athe!

Maybe the entity/god could come along and copy your brain/mind & DNA to be reconstituted or simulated at a later date.

Athe provides, and her Word shall be called E-Manual.

And ye shall take up the anti-virus and wear it as holy armour, and ye shall take up the script blocker and wield it as a sword, given unto you by Athe in the highest.

And on the sabbath, thou shalt defragment thy hard drive.

[DMB]

We are just phantasms in the dreams of our god. Which is OK until said god eats the lobster, suffers from bad indigestion and then has nightmares. Wherefore, lobster is indeed a holy food that must be brought as an offering to the temple, where it is eaten on behalf of the god by the exalted high priests, thus sparing the deity from indigestion and nightmares.

You have to be really selfless to join the priesthood. And it takes years of arduous training working your way up through different categories of seafood an plonk until you achieve the holiest lobster and champagne.

I like graham crackers.

Yes, graham crackers, with a block of chocolate and roasted marshmallows, aka, a s'more!

[Faerie]

All I want in a god is a remote control smite button. I rather fancy lightning bolts out of clear sky in the event that someone wrongs me. :)
