New religion..
October 29, 2014 at 6:48 pm
... I'm quite bored with what we've got...
So how the hell (might change that curse!) do I start a new a new religion...

Is it easy getting followers?

Any of you got ideas for a new God's name or a theme?

It might be true, but somehow I don't think Awful Fart would be a catchy name. How about Findyourselfism?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

No, that's the religion I was once thinking of founding. The church of the divine flatulence and Flatus horribilis or awe inspiring Fart would be the deity.

Read up on L Ron Hubbard.

Just be more original and less ridiculous.

Changing one religion for another is like changing Michael Jackson's doctor for Joan Rivers' doctor.

But it's a good way to earn taxfree money when done right. Might even be some televangelist fortune in it along the way.

I think a thorough misreading through LessWrong might yield a decent religion.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

If I come up with the perfect name, do I get a cut of the action?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
