If I Started My Own Religion...
what should we sacrifice?

:shrug:

no animals please... especially kittehs and puppies, or squirrels, etc.

Should we even sacrifice anything?

I'm thinking 10% is kind of low for tithing, I mean tips are 15-20% expected now, so I'm upping tithing to 15% or higher.

Should the best seats be given to the highest tithers?

What will we worship? Oil? Money? God? Earth? Universal Goodness? The fact that we are on a fucking rock speeding away from the center of an explosion at the speed of light, spinning around, orbiting the sun, with a moon and space junk orbiting us, and we are all moving away at the speed of light from the center of this explosion but due to the theory of relativity, we can't tell anything like that. I'm thinking that is miraculous. How many parallel universes are splitting away or coexisting in the same space as us?

Or maybe we should do this guy?



and just tell people: "tithe, talk to this guy, and everything gonna be okay"

Anyone want to join my new religion?

:P

:shrug:


yes, this is a strange post, I'm thinking that coming down in altitude has had some strange effect on my brain as well as going up did. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

or maybe I'm just a weird leader of a new religious movement destined to take over the world :crazy:

ps don't drink the Kool-Aid, EVAH!!!!

3. Maybe in the beginning it could be a mission
but after it gets established,(to engender charitable giving to get more money)then it should be Southpawkicker Temple or something don't ya think?

hmm....

you are digging in your heels.

I have known some cool Kims. I can see the appeal to Kimism...

however...

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOUTHPAWKICKERISM...MY RELIGION...MY THREAD....


maybe we could work together, like have dual deities, and we could like have Kimism as a extra special part of the Church of Southpawkickerism... yanno?

Like you said, who wouldn't want to be a KIM????

:D

- (her specialness KIM is just now waking and arising soon she will become a great gigantic monster fully realizing all the possibilities of how wonderful this will all be and if all goes according to plan everyone else shall realize it too and if any of you need more convincing the kimists have mixed together a very special kimist concoction for you to drink which is way better than kool-aid you've ever tasted so step right up and drink to your eternal subjugation and delight and oh yeah you may attend mass as well if that's your thing)...

on your knees...!!!

(grrrrr...oh my kimist all look adoringly upon her the monsterousness is already really happening)...

p.s. oh yes excuse us for almost forgetting (a mere footnote however important in the annals of the religion of kimist history) yes if you insist southpawkickerism may be studied at the school as well just go down that dark hallway behind the coat rack there now shoo shoo achoo ahem amen A-KIM please excuse us again...

radical Kimism, hmmm...., we will keep our eyes on you, but go ahead and be that special part of our religion, sort of like the elder statespersons crossed with ninjas who are also some variation of some fringe component of some movement, somewhere. :P
