Make Your Own Religion

    Make your own religion, and post it here.

    You will need:

    1. A supernatural immortal being
    2. Set of beliefs
    3. Punishment
    4. Reward

    I haven't thought of my religion yet, but when I do, I'll post it as well.

    Actually, none of these are necessary. These are features of the monotheopolies, but not, strictly speaking, required. A religion could omit any of these, although a set of beliefs in some sense would be hard to avoid. I will allow that virtually all formal religious structures include some form of these.

    The word religion derives from a Latin word meaning, "to bind." It is the same word as "legislation". So from this point of view, the essence of religion is the Law.

    I created my own with my partner several years ago. We call it the Church of the Mountain's Daughter of Latter-Day Pranksters. We are an autonomous Discordian cell. You may not convert, you may only spawn franchises.

    We are hippie Mormons. We don't eat meat or drink alcohol, but only females can have a harem.

    We are feminist polypantheists. All goddesses are Goddess.

    We follow Magma, not dogma. Magma is flowing, changing, and causes spontaneous combustion of sacred "chao"s. (a "chao", pronounced like the animal, is one unit of chaos. Pun emphatically intended.)

    Jerry Garcia died for our sins. You, too can be salvaged.

    If it is in the lyrics of a Grateful Dead song, it is probably true.

    Om Shakti Shanti Om

    1. Me. Also the Spirit Guide Spot.
    2. Worship me. Help me fulfill my destiny.
    3. Not being a part of the empire that will one day rule the world.
    4. Living longer, being better, mind augmentations, benefits of commerce and capitalist free markets. Free Beer Day once there are several countries with enough resources for it.

    You're all so creative! Blogmaster, I'm a faithful Twitterer, but I have fallen short with shameless link dropping. In Twitters mercy, they have chosen to forgive me for my transgressions. AmanaMission that's wacky, I love it. Tonight I searched for Grateful Dead lyrics, and as I read them, I did feel something, which was most likely the spirit of Jerry Garcia. Theapparatus, with a religion like that, I'm sure no one would ever mind going to church. Pizzaman I'm with you, who could deny the power and wisdom of Goo-gle? Last but not least, Jackuulism - Aaah, the power of cheese!

    My religion is no religion. It's a waste and a prison. I know what is morally and ethically right.

    BUT, if you had to label me. I would be a

    buddist, pagan, spiritual, christian, taoist, iron maiden rocking metal lovin, yet meditating soul.

    We may have different views on the definition of religion. This thread reflects my own definition, which is that the key element of a religion, is a deity. What is your viewpoint?

    Could the supernatural immortal being be ourselves? That's my opinion.. It is US.

    why does God have to be immortal?

    maybe God died after creating life.......just like all forms of life have to perish one day and pass on their characteristics to the next generation.

    Sure, why not? At least we can prove that we exist.

    That's an interesting thought, if your definition of G-d would not require immortality, what would it require? Do you believe a G-d created the universe? Could G-d be the consciousness of everyone, or is G-d something seperate from us, a different entity? Does G-d punish and reward? BTW, I'm not asking these in an attempt to judge, just curious, as I don't presume to have the answers to these questions myself.

    Thou shalt not be a tard, Jackuul hath spoken.:)

    Let me define tard just in case the PC Police come here and bitch:

    tard, from the word Retard, in my definition a person who is utterly hopeless and clueless, or an absolute moron. Anyone with downsyndrom is not considered either, and is not in this definition. Normal humans who are stupid enough to be on Ripley's Believe it or Not: OMFG! edition are. That includes cellphone users that smoke and chew gum while driving their car into a crowd of children getting ice cream.

    Oh, forgot to mention, PC Police who are at an extreme are also not allowed in Jackuulism. I get offended when people are offended by the words I use to offend them with. They should be offended by my message, not the words I use to convey the message.
