Start a religion

    In 1938 George Orwell wrote " But i have always thought there might be a lot of cash in starting a new religion "

    and i think this would be a good idea , at this time because of the recession , to start a religion here in Ireland and sell it to the world .

    and then there is the religion of global warming , the bankers are going to make billions and trillions out of that religion from carbon taxes , so look why should everyone else not start a religion !

    I was considering calling this new religion , the Quantumlogic religion and i am looking for suggestions as to what the beliefs and practices should be .

    It is a good idea but where would we get the virgin wives from ?

    I have a colourful stone out in the garden that i thought could be god , we could take photos of it and sell them for 30 euros each .

    But i'm sure we could some up with 17 stones .

    We do need more , competition is good , there is a huge market for religion , what do people want from religion , well they want to blame all their problems and all the problems in the world on someone else , well in this new religion called the Quantumlogic religion there are 17 gods they can blame everything on , and they are not even been taxed for it like in the global warming religion where they blame co2 and then introduce carbon taxes , but in the Quantumlogic religion all donations are voluntary .

    Hey, there's always Dermotology - a religion just begging for a dose of Blasphemy. :pac:
    You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.
    -- L. Ron Hubbard, 1948

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    You're going about it all wrong! You're not meant to be asking people for ideas, you're meant to be preaching about how your god has described to you in detail, through spiritual visits, what the afterlife is like and how we should all live in order to have good times when we die.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Scientology got there about 30 years before you. Sorry. You need a new niche market.

    But don't you realize the 17 true gods of the Quantumlogic religion speak through the posters on this forum , and they spoke through the poster GaNjaHaN already and they are speaking through me as well .

    I know what you're speaking through.....

    Best thing, would be, not to create a new religion, but subvert an existing one. If you already have 95% of a countries population believing in imaginary figures, all you really need to do, is convince the people, that you somehow have special access to those imaginary figures. Maybe through visions, or dreams?

    Lot easier than convincing them of the existence of a new set of imaginary figures.

    How about "The Jedward Faith" ?

    The idea that both boys sit on the right and left handside of the one true media god - Simon Cowel!

    Imaginary gods are real because they are imaginary , if they were not imaginary they would not be real , Quantumlogic is the one true religion .;)

    +1

    You have to convince virgins they are the only one for you and that you love them.

    You have to buy a slapper a kebab.

    Sorted.

    They always say you should never discuss religion and politics. It seems boards has a habit of only discussing religion and politics.

    There is a relgion for everything already its just no one understands religion to realise this or they have already discovered it.

    Global warming is a religion , and most people have been brainwashed into this cult by the mass media , it is political and religious .

    Funnily enough I was thinking of this very idea myself. My religion will be called the Church of the Even Latter Day than the Latter Day Saints.
    All you have to do is pay an annual subscription of €1000 and I will guarantee you a place in heaven. You don't have to do anything else and you can live the lifestyle you want and the guarantee is in place as long as the subscription is paid.

    Hmm, interesting feedback from the potential market.

    The voices are now telling me that it's one Glasgo slut per 100 members. (Her name is 'Not-so Virgin Mary'.)
