Title: Create Your Own Religion
Post by: Sophus on June 27, 2011, 10:26:07 PM
The Huffington Post is letting readers create their own religions. Some of them are pretty funny (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/27/create-your-own-religion_n_885279.html#s299089&title=Modernism).

Someone tweeted that link to me on twitter and I RTd it and then some jerk scolded me for "supporting spam."  Sorry if anyone here was that jerk but I think everyone here knows I don't like spam and don't like unnecessary criticism.

Anyway, it seems like it could be an interesting project.

Oddly enough, the one that actually appeals to me the most is the tree worshiping one.
And the gin one  ;D

Don't be negative, trying to destroy Asmo's dreams like that... all he'd have to do to make it a religion is make a claim to divinity that the followers believe and come up with some religious practices and then he can have his religion where people worship him.

Exactly! No raining on Asmo's parade now!  >:( He's wet and grumpy enough as it is. Oh! And sacrifice. He demands human sacrifice. Immediately.  >:(
