    Does PIOUS offer any rewards for card carrying members?
    If we don't join, will we be punished for all eternity?
    Where will our country be, and what will it be called?
    Any rules for PIOUSists to be aware of?

    Just one question?

    Is PIOUS an oppressive religion that takes it upon ourselves to force it [the religion] on others. Those who refuse shall be stoned to death, women beaten and children raped?

    If not i might be interested.

    I'll join only if I can be God, my hardest punishment is to take away your iPhone for a week and or barred you from using the internet for 1 day, see I'm a loving God.

    @ wwws In "Pious" eveyone is God and we only take away your iPhone if you end up on the naughty seat for the amount of years as of minutes you have lived if you are really naughty and don't listen to sense on the third occasion of being politely asked to do so. LOL (if that makes no sense - please see Super Nanny)

    @rebecca There is nothing eternal in regards to decisions as things are always changing, so it will be a matter of all the member gods (and Godesses) agreeing the best course of action!

    @Brandon ERM sorry stoning people to death will be something repugnant in PIOUS and not allowed and anyone commiting such an offence will either have their fate be decided amongst the collective or dealt with by a member reacting and subsequent action on person reacting will have to be discussed on an individual basis.

    I was thinking of making the New Country named "Maine"

    This might mean our card carrying could give us multiple citizenship in>

    Maine USA
    Maine France
    Mainz Germany

    And the New Maine we also need to add!

    Though we obviously need a place for the new "Maine" Country to...

    What! is that a bit to Christian?

    EG in reference to the text that says "your husband is your God"

    Or perhaps the thing that "all things are one and of the same"

    May well have to have become a University course and a degree to be earned like studying David Beckham - I am not sure as yet as am merely the founder of "PIOUS" but as only one among many and therefore only have a limted say as i am not the "Man"!

    The "Man" or "The Man" like in previous philosophies and religions just sounds like some sort of trouble maker likely to come who wants to claim himself as the be all and know all likely to have some other so called righteous self proclaiming beasties following his narrow minded ways and understandings that is not willing to listen to any others in the collective.

    I have some queries

    1. If I do not join PIOUS, will I be called a Kafir and made to wear a yellow piece of cloth and run the risk of getting beheaded ?
    2. Do I have to pay any taxes if I do not join ?
    3. Will there be any beheading parties ?
    4. Will the women members be covered and made to look like a post office mail box ?
    5. What are PIOUS's position on intra-species erotica especially involving goats and sheep ?
    6. Can I feast on Bacon ?
    7. Can we wage "holy war" against the non believers ?
    8. Do I get my own pet camel ?
    9. How many virgins do you promise in heaven ?

    However, look what I just found: pious(dot)org/seven-heavenly-virtues.html

    If this isn't your site, it seems that the name has already been taken...

    Quiet Jackob. Also, why did you post your own name?

    Rev, I'll join you as you sound like a milder and less likely to be misunderstood version of Modern Satanism. (Each person is a god, and the like, lol.)

    Also you will have to gift me an iPhone with your new tax exempt status - I don't have one to be taken away ^-^; YET.

    None most likely, but as we can't prove Heaven exists no presumptions or brainwashing would be allowed in such regards as bullshitting people about the unknown would be against the whole philosophy.

    We will have to talk to Richard Branson about that one and making sure everyone gets fibre optic broadband connections and see if Vigin will build us a data centre.

    When we build roads in this new Country we will build mantenance tunnels underneath each one so we never have roadworks, which will save us from a lot of disruption.

    As for warez/dmca I not a fan but I only have one vote so I wouldn't be able to solely make any laws in this regard tbh though I don't like seeing people get ripped off for their efforts so you can guess how I would vote in this regard.
