Let's start our own religion

I’ve been wanting to do this ever since I was a kid. Successful religions reach out people around the globe, irrespective of colour creed and other gay stuff. Suggestions?

I want to be the High Priest!

High priest?

yea like that, but with even fancier clothes. especially clothes. im thinking blue.

well marijuana does help you communicate with God :smiley:

You need a central symbol . . . and then several symbols to branch out to should it gain popularity.

You need an epiphenomenal theory. A central “being” or “guide” that fosters your growth.

I think that’s all you really need. Despite that this is in “Mundane Babble” I seriously encourage one shaking the foundations of old religion by herding believers to new ones. Unfortunately, too many of these attempts are simply named “cults” or New Age (which is polite for “cults”) . . . unless ofcourse it gets funding from the Freemasons . . . which requires that it have some sort of reference to Nazi ideals.

Supposedly the Rastafarians have the Ark of the Covenant though. So it might hold weight by appealing to them.

I honestly want to see some religions go back to old biblical ideals combined with the acceptance of modern 3rd grade compulsory science. We were once monkeys and there were dinosaurs, and yes the planet revolves around the sun. But also, no hypocrite pacifists chanting “love love love” then paying their war tax at the end of the day. You hate assholes. Admit it or shut up.

Take a lesson from the cult of Pythagoras by using the science of the day. Use chaos theory and notions of a Multiverse to create an impersonal vision that symbolizes what we used to call Free Will and manifesting Providence. Let the different levels of complexity represent the new “elements” of our spiritual symbolism and let infinite universes represent the potential of consciousness to gradually shift itself into a better position (and reality) through mental discipline. The mind could be thought of as the “attractor” that navigates or seeds itself in similar dimensions in order to optimize its existence overall.

the basis would be to seek personal gratification and pleasure, without harming your fellow man
