    You need to start with the basis of the religion. What do you worship.

    Wait what I have to worship something? I was more thinking along the lines of having myself worshiped. Burnt offerings and the likes. Not too burnt though. Maybe a nice caramelisation.

    Don't you think there are enough religions?

    Oh quite. Too many even. But the others are all wrong.

    Ride a virgin, convince her husband that it was an immaculate conception and then avoid DNA testing on bread or wine you subsequently bake.

    Or...
    Supply WiFi via trees and proclaim it your sacred gift to the world

    Most importantly, create a USP that makes your nutjob belie.f system attractive.

    A cunning plan. A direct connection to God. I like.

    Let's start with a good old tithing. We can up the percentage later.

    OP, Consider a number of levels for the any aspiring 'disciples', from Level 1 .....to Level 20

    Write up the principles of each level, well, actually write up to 5 levels.

    Design a course. This could cost around €2000. Now, never say what the pass mark is.

    Nearly forgot to say, design a device some sort of ".....meter"

    Don't forget a good catchy chant.

    HAve you considered your Symbol? The cross is gone, unfortunately.

    I hear the Swastica hasn't been used in a good few years. Symbol of good fortune etc. Sure what could go wrong?

    Nah the Hindoos already laid claim to that one. The nazzies only borrowed it. Without asking, I might add.

    you need to offer people something. like the christians offer eternal salvation. Something that is impossible to verify.

    Think the answer to that one may be subtly hidden in a previous post. I'm all for symbolism and see it as a great boon for increased church attendances.

    The Symbol will be the Golden Banana. Not a drawing of a Golden Banana. An actual Golden Banana measuring at least 2 meters in length. And it shall be stored in my Mansion. I will, of course, need a mansion. And a private jet. As a token gesture to modesty, however, I shall walk around in a loin cloth.

    DUDE.
    You forgot -

    The PLACE OF PENANCE for "confessed sinners". You know, like Lough Derg / The Hole / The wailing Wall....

    Hint: Do a Volcano. Think like Space Mountain in Walt Disney. Only miserable - there ya go.

    Hmmm, something more tortuous than climbing Craogh Patrick barefoot in a hailstorm yet equally more miserable than muttering hail Mary's on the banks of Lough Derg. A couple of laps of IKEA with the family during a sale maybe? To be done by the more serious transgressors with a stinking hangover.
