happythoughts 0 #1 September 23, 2002 This is a joke thread. No serious replies allowed. Strictly enforced. Here's the idea. Come up with your own religion. Specify the rules. Example - the frisbee religion. You don't go to heaven or hell. When you die, you get go up on the roof and stay there. All practioners of the faith will go to the beach on Sunday morning and throw a frisbee around and laugh, instead of going to church. Other members of the congregation will be addressed as "dude", regardless of sex. Feel free to add to the definition of the frisbee religion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FliegendeWolf 0 #2 September 23, 2002 One time I was registering at the hospital to get some tests done. The woman at the desk asked me a bunch of questions, one of which was, "What is your religion?" I responded, "Ali." She asked, "Is that a form of Islam?" I said, "No. Ali is my girlfriend. Her body is a temple, and that's where I choose to worship."A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #3 September 23, 2002 Hockey is my religion (as it should be for any good Canadian) ... but I also worship the skydiving gods. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnJug 0 #4 September 23, 2002 Well, this is a little off topic, but still about religion. When I was in college I always wanted to rally to get an 'atheist day'. This stemmed from the fact that each of the major religions had a holy day that the kids could usually use as an excuse to cut classes, even though the rest of us had to be at class. For example: Christians could take ash wednsday or good friday Jewish kids could take rash hashana (sorry about spelling) Muslim kids could take idul fitri I thought that wasn't really fair to us atheists, so I wanted a free athiest day. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #5 September 23, 2002 See the advantages ? You could have your own personal "holy days". For myself, I am planning two days in the summer in Lake Havasu to revive my "spiritual energy". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cajones 0 #7 September 23, 2002 My dog tags list "CH OF ADRENALIN" as my religion. When I was waiting in line to get my tags made, I looked through the book the Navy published, with abbreviations for religions. As I couldn't find a religion I was fully aligned with, I wrote "Church of Adrenalin" on the form. The poor kid argued that "they" had instructed him to stamp "NO REL PREF" (No Religious Preference) in cases such as these. He was dumbstruck when I accused him of religious discrimination. I asked him to bring the enigmatic "them" or "they" out to his little window, so I could drag "them" or "they" outside for a little "discussion" about my religion. I may have been able to convince him by the less conventional educative process of understanding, but the people in line behind me would have run out of patience... The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charone 0 #8 September 23, 2002 Ullr is my god. And the Mountains my temple, when I die, I wanna melt, evaporate and fall onto a mountain peak for 6 months, only to do it all over again. At least that way, I get to make one jump a year. Hardly enough, but hey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #9 September 23, 2002 That is a great perspective. How about this ? To keep with the time, a drive-up confessional. A fast lane for 4 sins or less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wegates 0 #13 September 24, 2002 In highschool me and a friend started a religion based on "sporks" as a joke, but we got realy heavy about it, had comandments and everything.. I went back 2 years after graduation to talk a teacher, and he told me that it was still being followed by the students...
