I couldn't find a thread like this. Don't sue me if there is one. Inspired by the Jews For Jesus thread.

Anyway, all I know for sure is that my bible will be called The Book Of Hey/Ya! and it will feature dragons, robots, and aliens. Kinda like Scientology, I guess, but more like a really good episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Oh, and it's called Crunk'a'Hai'Do^h.

(oh, and it would be hedonistic and arts-based and you wouldn't go to hell when you died if you were bad, you would just go to sleep forever and have dreams where you never quite get to have hot sex.)

Mine will be called "wai tow tai tow tai taiko" and will be similar to buddhism except no beastie boys members will be allowed anywhere near it.

JUDYISM

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

mine will be called "ilx" and the phrase "turn back you poxy fule" will cause jonestown-like mass suicides

Mine is "The Church of Not Eating Tomato". Largely designed to make my extreme hatred of tomatoes a RELIGIOUS ISSUE THAT MUST BE ACCOMMODATED rather than a manifestation of being a picky git which in turn gives me the right to kick up a stink when I get given one when I specifically ask to have it left off.

My cult will be called Church of the Brothers and Sisters of the Latrine. The cult will worship the modern flushing toilet. During a regular church service (held on tuesdays) they will feed money into the sacrificial bowl and it will be flushed into a special tank where it will be cleaned, dried and sent to my bank acount.

It'd be a hippy panthiest, God is in all things polemic. We'd do a bit of tree hugging and rambling, and have the odd tea party, well a lot of tea parties. Get a bit misty eyed when we think about the vastness of the universe. We'd probably nick "be excellent to each other" as one of our motto's. There may be a slight ascetic edge to it all, but that wouldn't stop us owning way too many records. Love the life that you have, and etc.

I don't think I'd give it a name.

(opps perhaps I took this too seriously)

Oh, I forgot to mention that. All church functions and services will be forbidden on Sunday so that nobody misses anything good on H.B.O.

And the holy trinity would be beer/ice cream/b-b-q.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

my religion declares a fatwa against all adherants of edward o's religion. tomatoes are holy; you will be cast into the abyss of watching "the abyss" for all time

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

you will question your devotion to the tomato when my religion's followers bury you alive in them and your attempt to eat your way to freedom fails miserably.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

My religion will replace those stale wafers with Oreos and icky wine with milk.
And instead of worshipping God, we'll worship mommy.

― Huck, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

And it will be called "Unhealthy Fixationism"

"The UnChurch of Omnipresent Pohhuism"

It's a michaelian form of caesaropapism and I'll just wing it like i always do. TOMATOES ARE DIVINE!!! (But only in season.)

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd just like to resurrect the cult of Mithras

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Nedism.

Its belief: "Heavens! Don't get killed NOW."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

jocelyn, that's a bunch of bull.

I made up my own religion when I was about 8 and grappling with religious issues -- I decided that this world is someone's dream and when we dream at night we create other parallel worlds. I guess maybe it'd be called Zzzzzzz.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It sounds like a snorefest, Maria. Where's the pie?

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

At the time I was dreaming a lot about cake and candy corn. Other worlds had it made!

My husband and I used to talk a lot about forming a church for tax purposes. It was going to be called the Church of Holy Fucking.

Yay Mr. Kurtz!

Custology.
It'll be like Scientology, except:
1) The self-help book will be a 3 page pamphlet
2) the e-meters will have stun, kill and disintigrate as legitimate settings and
3) Note to all Popes, Pastors and Imam: I'm the only one who has been "Saved"; all the rest of y'all are fucked. Also, Everyone else is a heretic except me.
4) BOW DOWN BEFORE MY AUGUST GLORY! COME! KNEEL BEFORE CUSTOS!

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Sunday, 15 August 2004 04:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to join your church now please Mr Custos. Please hook me up to the e-meter and set it to disintegrate.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 15 August 2004 04:49 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

It would be one where all religious dogma is banned. And mushrooms, anchovies and country music. Also, substituting "sparkling wine" for CHAMPAGNE would not be compulsory.

Church of Your F***ing One Thousand

If you spend your life aiming to compile a perfect list of one thousand good things, you would be more appreciative of the wonderful things around you and you would probabaly implement positive change in your life and the lives of others. Plus, it would be fun.

"jodyism" sounds like a self-help book.

― astor riviera (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 10:47 (twenty years ago)

Church of Go Home.

Baptism is a smack across the face, with the incantation "Think, you idiot."
