With full expectations of this being shut down any second, I invite anyone to partake in my new religion. It's designed for Atheists (I know, I know it's not your bag) and Agnostics. We'll make up our verse on the fly and no idea is a bad one (except if it's from well....we all know who). If anyone has an idea of an afterlife that sounds good throw it out there. We invite the people we don't like to post but you will most likely be ridiculed here too. We just don't you to feel left out.
Enjoy and whatever deity you subcribe to or not, bless

Ummm good question. I don't but I thought it was fun to do. I don't really have a religion being agnostic. I just it would be fun to create one that didn't discriminate.

Originally posted by NyxieWell I guess we are trying not to discriminate against anybody except for the weenies that have discriminated against us. I don't know much about the pagan or celtic religions but they sound like a good starting place. Any ideas?

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI second this, it seems we have our first mandate.
Then the first tenet should be, "Thou shalt not banish your opposition to a separate forum."
Also as a second I submit that we not hold our hands over our ears and go "la lalalalala" while our opposition tries to make their points.
As our third I submit that we not use " our religion is better because" stances in our arguments.

Originally posted by NyxieOoh, I think we are on a roll now. This is good. I agree with this 3 tenets so far.

Originally posted by Joe FistNot at all. Religions do not require gods. Buddhism (although they have practically deified the Buddha) was originally an atheistic religion.
Right. Okay. If that's the case what do you suggest? I know you are atheist so this whole exercise for you is probably uninspiring but it can't be anymore uninspiring then the rest of the spew in here, right?

Originally posted by rwingettI'm starting the read the "Dummies" book on Buddhism (I'm ready for all the wise cracks) so I'm really interested in this.

Not at all. Religions do not require gods. Buddhism (although they have practically deified the Buddha) was originally an atheistic religion.
So do you consider yourself a Buddhist? I'm not saying you implied that but I am just curious?
