Well not so much a religion but a "Holy Book" instead. I am considering on using various philosophical concepts and deifying them as characters in a relatively brilliant way. I like writing and I guess this is how I put my love of philosophy to use.
Tell me is this a good idea? Do you think anybody will die from this new cult of mine? I hope not . . . . unless it is William Lane Craig . . . *cough cough*
People who follow religion tend to want absolute rules so any idea that you create will eventually be twisted in a way to hurt others. For example, Wicca has a very fair rule that you can do anything as long as you don't hurt others. I once read on a pagan forum that someone was upset because they realized all the ways that they might hurt someone accidentally. They were overthinking that particular rule.
