Start yer own Religon!!!
 
Okay, this is all in good fun and is not meant to offend anyone of religous nature. Seeing there's a few religous debates and all that fun stuff on here at the moment, I came up with this idea. Okay, it might be lame. If you could start your own religon or cult what would it be. I mean ANYTHING. It can be crazy or just something you think should have it's own religion. And what would the religon involve. Any rituals or activities. Any requirements one needs to meet to join. And keep it clean guys! ;)

this thread sounds very interesting Ithink that there should be a culture like from "Legends Of Dragoon". Legends of dragoon is a cool video game it deals with dragons and those types of things i think that i have a site with pictures from the game.http://www.rpgdreamer.com/lod/lodpics.html

dragoons are some type of combination of human and dragon

Ritchuals there are times then they are to go back to their human state and at times they can return to dragoon form.

If I had my own religion, it would be called Lukism, of course. Ah yes, the joy of Lukism. You could believe in whatever-the-feck-kinda God you wanted to believe in, as long as it didn't ostracize other people. Predjudice people suck. Yeah, there we go...

First rule of Lukism: No Predjudice assholes. Those who fail to comply will be severely beaten with the "Happy Rod." People who aren't tolerant will not be tolerated.
Second rule: No arrogance. Boasting is OK every once in a while, but flaunting your stuff about will result in immediate re-happy-inating.
Third rule: No meeting under the name of Lukism will last more than 30 minutes. Meetings will consist of small talk and Scrabble.
Fourth rule: Taco Bell and Root Beer (or real beer, whatever tickles your package) are to be served at the conclusion of every meeting.
Fifth rule: No black people. (Ha... I kid)
Sixth rule: The Desciples of Lukism gain the legal right to make up religious holidays to get out of school/work. Unless they want to be whiney little bitches and actually help the economy... losers.
Seventh rule: There are to be no more than six rules.

And more principles of Lukism are on the way!

DISCLAIMER: Side effects of Lukism may include, but are not limited to: nausea, slurred speech, oily discharge, headache, diarrhea, stigmata, halitosis, puberty, toxic shock syndrome, fascism, dizziness, Henry Rollins Disease, confusion, hairy palms, mammary loss, severe beatings with the "happy rod", and in some cases, mild death. Allergic reactions including head explodey have been reported, and in some rare instances, bruising of the ego.

Sexual side effects include, but again, are not limited to: homosexuality, premature ejaculation, cunniglingus, and more homosexuality on the weekends.

Hello Cobra_69. I do agree with you! I would worship Final Fantasy, and Tidus and Squaresoft. That would be the religon for me! ;) To be in that religon you would have to own at least three Squaresoft games. And you would have to play them a lot. Everyone could have a shrine to their favorite game. And you would have to past a test to enter the religon. You would just need to answer a few simple questions just to prove you know about the games. It would be a fun religon, with not many rules though. There would be little sub groups in the religon for each game or maybe character. I would join the Tidus cult. Yey! I would worship Tidus!!!!!! But the main basis is having fun and interacting with other fans who love the games as much as you. Could I be the Queen of the Final Fantasy religon?

The Eleven Rules of the Earth

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.

3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

9. Do not harm little children.

10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.



The Nine Sins

1. Stupidity—The top of the list for Sins. The Cardinal Sin. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. We must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.

2. Pretentiousness—Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn’t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone’s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.

3. Solipsism—Can be very dangerous. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won’t. Instead, we must strive to apply the dictum of “Do unto others as they do unto you.” It’s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point.

4. Self-deceit—It’s in the “Nine Statements” but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self-deceit!

5. Herd Conformity—That’s obvious from our stance. It’s all right to conform to a person’s wishes, if it ultimately benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the many.

6. Lack of Perspective—Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain for us. You must never lose sight of who and what you are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints—know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world.

7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies—vBe aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality it’s something that was once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We are expected to rave about the genius of the creator and forget the original. This makes for a disposable society.

8. Counterproductive Pride—That first word is important. Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.

9. Lack of Aesthetics—This is the physical application of the Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but an eye for beauty, for balance, is an essential tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It’s not what’s supposed to be pleasing—it’s what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of one’s own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied.
