Full Version: A new religion

Ziggy Stardust
Perhaps, my friends, a new religion is in order?

Current traditional religions are somewhat corrupted. People are too busy trying to spread their religion than actually follow it. Unfortunately, this results in bloodshed.

Plus, these religions were strung together not to suit today's society, but society many centuries ago. As human society has changed and moulded, principles have become useless and new principles have been needed.

Consequently, it is now I present to you:

Humanitarianism!!

As a humanitarian, you will be subject to:

- A cutting-edge balance between science and metaphysics.

- Modern-day principles.

- Mondays off.

- And so much more!!

Humanitarianism, as great as it is, is still under construction. Feel free to contribute any ideas or comments you have - let's build it together!

Regards,
Socrates

What flavor kool-aid do you offer? laugh.gif

A penguin for every school-child!

But seriously, you're right, the old religions aren't up to date. We need a religion that is actually tolerant (even though some say they are, they aren't really). That and something that applies to every day life now.

OneEye - You're exactly right. Which is why humanitiarianism is for you!
I don't know why a new global religon hasn't been formed in so long. Perhaps because the other religions would censor it out!

Pretty good idea. But Humanity isn't a religion. It the way people do to one another. Otherwords, freewill. So saying that. Humanitarianism is in that too. tongue.gif

That is arguable. In a deeper respect, humanity is more than just a race, but a constantly changing society; an ideology. Is it not an ideology which is the base on which a religion is built?

Wait... do I still get my penguin?
Ziggy Stardust
Of course! We only have king or blue in stock. What's it gonna be?

We'ren't the humanitarians on the Simpsons? tongue.gif

Wait no.. they're the movementarians happy.gif


Do you have fluffy toilet seat covers?

The ability to practice certain aspects of various religions on persons personal choice would be a good idea also. The blanket cover of all religions in one would cut down on prejudice I think, also would get rid of pesky limitations.

Tuesdays off too, then I'll consider it.

Indeed. But then when you consider the borderline parameters and untold egos and inner insanitums of the current global religions, you will see that such 'pesky limitations', are infact contradictions of the religion's very principles, rolled into one. Religion is war.

Yes, I like wine.

I would like a king penguin. Emperor or macaroni would be cooler, but I'll take it.

OneEye, you have shown great initiative and worthyness in this religion, more so than anyone else. You are obviously a very keen humanitarian.

Thus, I hereby promote you to the position: "Head minister of penguin maintenance."

You are now a fully fledged, high ranking officer in this religion.
OneEye
Yes!!! Penguin maintenance! Just what I always wanted...

The first 10 convertee's will get not only the penguin of their choice (only blue or king at the moment), but also they will get a years supply of penguin food! You heard right!

For the rest of you... I dunno, at least you get a penguin...

Blue penguin

King Penguin

Penguin food

Okay, I kid on the last one tongue.gif

Join!
Ziggy Stardust
Oh, but OneEye! You forgot to mention the special edition penguin-polish we have to offer! Next person to join receives a free bottle!
OneEye
Oh, Socrates, so sorry, but this religion stresses forgiveness, so it's no big deal! Isn't this great, people?
