    I was thinking about starting one. its called : "Free Holiday" (Like a ticket )that you could give it to people for fun! the symbol is a big pink dollar sign on a white flag

    The aim is to get more holidays per year. Like Xmas.. Everyone can chose an extra celebration day per year that can be celebrated any way the individual wants.

    anyone can sign up.
    You can be Jew, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, whatever. Actually the belief in god is not a requirement to join my religion. You can think whatever you want. The control of the mind is not the aim of the religion.

    All you have to do is send me some bitcoins and accept me as the most awesome ruler of the infinite universe and in return You shall get a piece of paper declaring that you are part of my religion... you can show this to your teachers in your school and you can try to claim your extra holidays (so you don't have to go to school on those days)!!

    you get 1 holiday/5 dollar and a blessing from an old Jamaican Dreadlock Rasta. (one of the founding fathers)

    The religion is mostly aimed at people between the ages of 13-18.

    Lets skip a few days of school together!!

    We need members!

    Free Holiday!!!

    Why only extra holidays??? Can you throw in 1000 virgins - human virgins of our sexual preference...oh, I guess some might prefer non virgins...oh, I guess some might prefer non humans - anyway can you grant us wishes after we die?

    you can make any stuff up. Im not telling you what to think. You can have multiple religions at the same time. From me you get extra holidays!! no wishes granted.

    If thats not enough you can still be muslim or whatever.

    I think for it to be considered a valid dogmatic religion, you need to piss a lot of people off, burn a few non believers and start a couple of wars over nothing in particular.

    I wish you luck.

    LOL^^^
    As I remember from world religions class, in order to be considered a religion there had to be at least three things... deity, ritual and congregation.

    So get to work!

    And take it easy on the crusades hmmm? ;)

    refuse to lie to yourself, and accept that you will very likely be martyred for doing so.

    you will be hated in life, and made a god in popular legend once you are safely dead, and human society can make of your life, whatever it will.

    By definition then everyone starts their own religion when they aspire to the pursuit of happiness through the pursuit of things. In popular terms the almighty dollar inspires the ritual of punching the clock with the rest of the rat race.

    here you have touched upon something that does indeed contain more then a grain of truth.

    people persue illusions, because culturally they have been convinced that is where to find gratification, when of course, in fact, it is not.

    that's only because they were never seen as a major serious threat to other beliefs and ideologies.

    yet one need not look far to see the seeds of those things.
    have you not noticed how hated it is, by the equally blind followers of other pesuasions?

    i'd think to begin with an unsuspecting group that already
    exists ... such as people who have rabbits . first , insist
    sensibly that there is not a man in the moon there is a
    rabbit . one might also mention the fact that when one
    becomes addicted to killing rabbits (even for science) a
    poor and drunken life is inevitable . then appear to be
    passionate about a few more such fantastical facts - such
    as of the heroic rabbits who ride around in cars touring the
    national parks . one time i gave the puppy a rabbit to play
    with ... oh , it became a very strange and sorry story that
    changed the neighborhood . now that the dog is grown she
    looks at me in a special way whenever i say 'remember bunny' .
