Help me create a religion.

I’m in need of distraction and I think an income maybe.

So, L Ron and company got rich, right? Scientology still rakes in the dough, I believe.

So help me flesh out my idea to create a religion and make us all rich.

Suggested Title:

Multiple Universalism. MU, trademarked (moo) for short. We could do a got MU campaign…get it?

So here’s chapter one:
In the beginning, God was just like one cell or something, we’ll need some scientist to help out here. This needs to appeal to smart people, cause they have all the money. Or maybe we want to appeal to religious and gullible. Shoot, this needs thought.

But anyway, this one cell thing or whatever can only have one thought. It thinks, I wish I was bigger. So that’s how the big bang thing happened.

And so now, this cell or whatever that is God, can think a lot more things. Cause he’s in more pieces. That’s where we come in. He thought us. Or she. I’m good with she.

But so now, every time we think something, another universe is born and life in that universe goes in a different direction based on that thought. So, it’s like endless and eternal and it never gets boring because we don’t want to be bored. Forever is a really really long time. See?

Now, here’s how we make money. We need to choose a spokesperson as the ONE that all this stuff was revealed to. (I nominate Jackdavinci cause he is a heck of a good writer) And someone else needs to work on the tablets or whatever that we let people get a glimpse of. For a fee, of course. Or maybe we want to go futuristic with how we were given the info, given all the cool new technology. Oh Fuck! I know, Steve Jobs, techno guru, who oh so recently passed to the other side…maybe he’s the source? (forgive me, Mr Jobs. I love you, hell I’m even willing to worship you!) I Need to think about this. I sure like the name MU, but Jobism might make for more traction. and the 4s phone did just come out. Could stand for “4Salvation”. Huh? Huh, whadda ya think? Majority rule on this, I guess.

Now most of our money will come from teaching people how to only have good thoughts so they can break the loop and stay in the universe that they prefer.

You want a universe with no spiders? We’ll teach you to never think of spiders again. How about no dust? Hey, we have the know how.

You want to be rich, beautiful, young, talented, confident, happy, hell euphoric even, in your very own universe populated with only people that you want there And you want that for eternity!! Well we have the secret. Special order Heaven! That’s right, we can get you there. But that’s gonna cost you big time.

I bet we could get a celebrity endorsement or two.

So come on all you wanna be 1%'s. Lets get this going. It could be our ticket.

I don’t see any misogynistic overtones. Can’t be a proper religion without misogynistic overtones.

Can’t you decree…oh I don’t know… branding of the women? a bit like cattle. Actually exactly like cattle. Rope them and brand them it can be an autumnal equinox celebration or something like that.

I see what you mean.
I like your idea, but I think us girls ought to do the raping part. :Where is my wiggling eyebrows smilie?: Which title do you like? Either of mine or do you have your own suggestion?

Keep it coming. I can smell the money already. I can smell it.

All theology is equally unprovable; the details aren’t that that important. However, a religion is a social organism. Ya gotta have enough of a reward in the beginning phases to keep people interested and roped in; not all the reward can be reserved for after. Can you play on snobbishness and exclusivity?

How much profit sharing are you looking to offer someone that helps get your, endeavor, off the ground?

Equal share there Bees. Equal share.

Sunspace, you make a good point. Any suggestions?

Just use “Paradise Lost” by Milton as your Bible and religion. It’s public domain and a good read. Call yourselves “Miltonists” and provide a PayPal online sermon service for a couple of bucks each Sunday.

That’s It!

Require great sacrifice or lifestyle change. It makes it seem genuine.

Make it a Ponzi scheme to drag people in.

Your MU reminds me the time I was in Japan and I saw a van with large letters MU on it. I got closer and saw the full model name was “Mysterious Utility”. Mysterious indeed. Good name for a religion.
