New Religion

[HAMMERMILL]

Maybe it's time to start a new religion.
A seperation between church and state allows it!
I'll start-
1)Every citizen has a right to do what they wish as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

I'm all for starting something new but the followers
must either comprehend themselves or this song:

REM - Begin the Begin
(chorus)
Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe

Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again like Martin Luther zen
The mythology begins the begin
Answer me a question I can't itemize
I can't think clear, you look to me for reason
It's not there, I can't even rhyme here in the begin

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Example: the finest example is you

(repeat chorus)

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again

I suggest a radical new religious concept that will unite Grogan2767 and 3 to be 4 in blissful brotherhood forever: progressive fundamentalist Christianatheism. It is the ultimate all-inclusive sect, where one can fervently believe and not believe at the same time. Drug addicts do it, schizophrenics do it, why not religionists? It's all a head game anyway, because the way these people approach religion has nothing to do with spirituality. I maintain that Christianatheism is the best hope for all those who are so disconnected within themselves that they must shout at the mirror (i.e., post religionist rants on a pro football team's Internet messageboard).

It's pragmatic given this forum but it seems too inclusive. I need to feel superior in my religious views.......

No problem. You can adopt Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Oprah Winfrey-ism, NASCAR-ism, etc. -- there's lots to choose from out there with equal opportunity for intolerant religious chauvenism.

Wow! Serious stuff to think about over my muesli!

I've got a few problems with organized religion.

First off, there's the fanaticism and persecution. Got to put a stop to that -- though I've got to admit that the Soviet Union and China managed a lot of fanaticism and persecution even without God ...

Then there's the problem of Evil -- you know, death, disease, earthquakes, hurricanes, that kind of stuff -- the point where the happy-clappy praise-the-Lord-in-all-his-goodness guys start to wheel out the crap about Satan and Original Sin.

I don't have a good answer to that -- if you do, feel free to PM me.

But I did hear a great Jewish joke about it the other night (for Shmessy and PFinVa).

OK. The Jews in Auschwitz decide to put God on trial. They discuss back and forth the whole day whether he is responsible for their sufferings and, in they end, they vote and find him guilty. "Right," says the rabbi, "we've found God guilty. Now let's daven Mincha". [= evening prayers]

Finally, there is sex.

Religions control people through making them feel guilty about sex so they either go through life completely inhibited or reject religion and rebel into promiscuity.

So here is my positive suggestion.

In my new religion, it would be compulsory to have sex on your sixteenth birthday. In public. In front of all your friends and family, with videos, presents and a party -- Confirmation/First Communion/Bar Mitzvah, all rolled into one.

You can imagine the conversation:

Mrs A: And Ellie. How old would she be now? It must be time for her Banging?

Mrs B: Oh yes -- we can hardly think about anything else.

She insisted we get that dark-haired boy from Sextastic. You wouldn't believe how expensive he is, but she wouldn't have anyone else. He has a waiting list of two years but we're old clients -- his father did me -- and so he offered to squeeze Ellie in.

Mrs A: How exciting! Is she nervous?

Mrs B: Well, she pretends that she's not -- you know how teenagers are. But I think she's been practising in secret with her cousin.

classic line right there... when I finally write a book that's going to be inside the cover (properly cited, of course!)

I have no problem with religion, my problem is white haired old men ( I am grey so don't say I am insensitive or not PC) making decisions we all have to live with and if we don't we go to hell or purgatory.

I saw this on Wikipedia a while ago. The guy who created the religion did it to make fun of organized religion as well as just have fun.


EDIT: I'm gunna use that link for the political site... look for: "Direct correlation for Global Warming" or something along those lines ;-)

These guys sang about "losing their religion".

Fog, "Losing [one's] religion" is an expression in the South for losing faith in anything. As in... "How's it going with that wife issue..." "I dunno man, I'm losing my religion..."

We gotta do something about all the literal-mindedness around here! LOL
