New religions

Well it appears that Delano, being my first disciple, has started us off on my “new religion” experiment. I shall call him “Delano of the New Religious Order”. We’ll canonise him when he dies. It will be a de facto canonisation because he’s my first disciple.

So far, I’ve decided to incorporate a bit of traffic law, specifically related to four-way stops.

Now, to be on the safe side (i.e. to not offend TOO many people), I’ve decided to acknowledge that Jesus Christ did exist, and he had some good stories. This point of view is echoed in Judaism and Islam, religious groups we also acknowledge as having good stories. However, my religion (we need a name, and “Flying Spaghetti Monster” and “Invisible Pink Unicorn” are already taken) has its own stories. First of all, we need something to pray to.

I think we can say that the expression of god in my new religion is in the universe itself, where we are made in the same image (carbon life forms in humanity echo the carbon structure of the universe). There are no alternate realities, unless you’ve had sleep deprivation.

More later.

P.S. Split-infinitives ARE allowed in my new religion.

P.P.S. We’re not going to be Wiccan.

P.P.P.S. Dancing naked is entirely optional.
