I'm going to start a new religion, called Surfism.

[raccoon]

Our canon will be the Beach Boys' songs.


We will make pilgrimages to Hawthorne, CA.


Our symbol will be the surfboard.

[Dr. Strange]

1. Too late.

Unless you're going to do something different to set your religion apart. Like requiring ritualistic scrotum-shaving.

[raccoon]

2. Aw, shucks. One thing I've learned from the Internet, is if you"ve thought

of something, somebody else, somewhere, has thought of the same thing.

And I was SOOOOO looking forward to the tax exemptions....

[Tobin S.]

3. This can be one of your hymns

The Drums "Let's Go Surfing"

This song is actually a metaphor for the Obama Presidency.

4. If you do it like this

you can stir up shit in two forums at the same time.

7. I liked that movie;the "skeet surfing" was so silly. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. I'm an OmniTheist; I claim all religious holidays.

Yes, that's mainly what it's about, but there are other benefits.

8. On second thought, I am sticking with the Presleyterians.

I don't tan well.

10. Racoon, I'll join if you can bring an ocean to PA - that will mean you have

sunk New Jersey!!!!

I'd like to contribute a hymn from St. Brian here with his daughter, singing "Do It Again",
one of my favorite songs by anyone ever.

Bless you, sister!
"don't wear shoes" should be part of the liturgy.

I seem to have posted this in the wrong place, but I know my co-religionists will forgive me.

11. We already have a Serfism religion. The followers are Republicans. nt

[carlyhippy]

12. I got my surfboard, ready to join!!!!!!

I am a Honey...... maybe after the surfer's mass in Hawthorne, we can cruise over to Manhattan Beach to ride some tasty waves, far out!!

The ladies of the surf religion will have their own song:
