    I think my alternative religion could be a real option for Atheists here. Why can't Atheists have some perks too :p

    It's not meant offensively, just tongue in cheek, and should be taken as such.

    The Space Pope is actually referenced in the Palaeontology Forum Charter.

    Actually I have to believe you. As the Space Pope of Palmerism I operate a reverse infalibility law, where everything anyone but me says is absolutely true and must be believed by other Palmerists.
    Where as I, as the Space Pope, am most likely talking complete rubbish.

    It's Pastafarianism or nothing

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Your blog is very badly written. Space-Pope is a great title. Your parody religion would be more entertaining if you hadn't named it after yourself. You stole Space-Pope from Futurama.

    That is all.

    Well i'm not a writer of any talent so I make no apologies on that count, and the reason I named it after myself as I said before is bacause it's all about me feeling important :cool:. It's all i've got. I'm really not very cool.

    And of course I stole it from Futurama, I am not nearly original or witty enough to come up with my own ideas. Nevermind being able to draw that picture of the Pontificus Crocidilus!

    Come on Zillah, let me have this, otherwise I may be forced to join one of the more mainstream religions like Oprahism!

    Rev. Ivan Stang from the Church of the SubGenius ran an online course called "Running Your Own Cult: Do's and Don'ts" (http://www.maybelogic.org/stangcrs.htm)

    Part of the course work is to start your own cult and have it critiqued by Stang and the other course participants.

    My brother did it (too much money and time on his hands) and said it was really interesting chatting with Stang about all kinds of things - he gave quite a lot of personal time to the participants, and made an big effort to be availabe to people outside the US time zone(s).

    Years ago, back before jobs and children, I had two religions on the go - 'The Nulliphidian Temple' and 'Thee Eye Of Thee Narwhal', along with a couple of independent states ('Phutiopa' and 'The Golden Empire of the Northside').

    My main tip would be to get yourself a good logo. All the successful cults have one.

    I have a friend who does graphic design, I should get him to draw something up. Maybe something that incorporates our No Queueing stance!

    He needs everything he can get. The hierarchy has been amended, Shallow_grave is the official fluffer to the Space Pope.

    Dudism is the true path.

    dudism.gif
    Zen Dudism is a philosophy based on the interconnectedness of everything in the universe and the brotherhood of all living things. The dudist maninfests this brotherhood by referring to everyone and everything as "dude." The dudist is no respecter of persons -- acidhead and bank president, no matter his position in society is "just some dude."
    As a movement, dudists are aggresively laid-back. Partly because of the knowledge that we are all one in the eyes of our creator (sometimes referred to as "The Dude Upstairs"), partly because most dudists indulge in massive quantities of illicit substances. Perhaps the dudist philosophy can be best summed up in the statement made by president Abraham Lincoln in the philosophical treatise Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, "Be excellent to one another dudes!"
