Let's start our own religion: "DUology" What are the tenets we believe in
If L. Ron Hubbard can make up a religion and get thousands of suckers, I mean followers to ante up big bucks to join, then why can't we start our own religion and make money off of the stupid, I mean believers!

So if we create our own cult, I mean religion, what are the tenets of our belief system.

Personally, I think you need to get to DUIII until you learn the secret as to why sniffa types with all capital "L"s

1. It's a must to have outrageous headgear!
The stuff of any self respecting religion.

5. And a holiday... With gift exchanges and delicious dishes!
In the past I've suggested we take over Labor day.

Oh, what a day. The monkey themed ornaments draped
with care over the coconut palm. What is that I smell? Banana
cream pie on the window sill!

15. What about cheesy mustaches?
Facial hair plays a large role in many belief systems.

I have a full cheesy beard.

I've also heard Tom Cruise has some kind of a beard...
Don't know what they're talking about.

4. the god of the religion should be portrayed as a cat
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 10:59 AM by nickinSTL
not that the god actually IS a cat, necessarily, just use a cat as a visual representation.

Worship cats! :evilgrin:

9. We believe that cats came from Aliens from far away...
..and that we all evolved from the cats. Somehow a volcano is involved with all of this. But think about it - we have opposable thumbs and therefore can do things that cats can't be bothered doing. Hence we were evolved in order to serve and worship cats from Xenu

Or shit like that

31. let's give out chocolate dinosaurs during the springing of the year.
At the end of the year, say, six days before its end, we can bring back SATURNALIA!

And to scare the kinds into believing: the fear of falling into a black hole!

Ten Commandments:

1. Thou shalt not placeth flags before me!
2. Thou shalt not killeth, goeth to war, undeclared war or harmeth others in any way.
3. Thou shalt not coveteth thy neighbor's family member, regardless of how horny you are!
4. Thou shalt not starteth sex threads in the forum.
5. Thou shalt knoweth every day that I am your extremely liberal deity who thoroughly detests muddle headed conservatives.
6. Thou shalt enjoyeth as many times as possible thy body which I have provideth for thee.
7. Thou shalt not knoweth that these words are plagiarized from Hammurabi's Code.
8. Thou shalt loveth all life on this planet and planets yet to be known.
9. Thou shalt not helpeth the Klingon Empire.
10. Thou shalt worshipeth me only when thou feels thy need to, not when someone commandeth thee for I am extremely busy.

35. Our sacred temple is known as "The Circular Firing Squad"
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 02:05 PM by ZombieNixon
No one knows exactly where it is, save that it dwells somewhere in the hellish depths of GD. It is every DUologists sacred duty to try and locate The Circular Firing Squad. If you traverse the GD trials unscathed, you find yourself at the foot of the Cat-God's temple, as cat-headed men advance on you, pointing guns at each other and arguing unceasingly. At this point you advance immediately to DU-infinity.
