I am starting my own religion, any suggestions?

Question

The main tenet will be a search for individual truth, but would love to hear your ideas...

Answer 1

Church of The Fonz

Answer 2

Np on your own religion, but the whole "individual truth" tenet sounds more like a non-group thing.

Whats the point in starting a group that teaches people to be individuals?

I recommend the classic "Be good" central tenet. Most people still don't understand it and you know its successful.

Just try to stay away from robes and fruit drinks.

Answer 3

It needs to be a religion that will answer questions about the afterlife, the creation of life, the meaning of life, and rules that must be followed to progress.

It must not contradict science.

Good luck. There are millions of atheists and agnostics searching for a religion. This void is worth billions.

Converting Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists will be more difficult. If you are taught in every science classroom eventually the old generations will die out.

You must answer what science has not answered.
You must not contradict scientific possibility.

Answer 4

Read the book on Scientology. That dude said, man, if you create your own religion, you could make a lot of money! Same with the Jedi way. They are both centered on peace. Combine some of them with the teaching of Buddha and mix in a little from the Breatharians, you got it made!

Answer 5

First, you need a prophet. That would be you.

Then, you need an inspiring story of your life. I'm thinking that a cowboy theme might work.

You'll need to have some duress in your life. Getting kicked in the head by a bull sounds like it could be sold.

You need a method for collecting contributions. Use PayPal.

You get the picture.

Answer 6

First off don't contradict yourself in your bible, the Christians ran into a brick wall with that folly. Secondly don't hate anyone or anything, that makes you a bigot, no one divine or worthy of being divine is a hateful person. Third don't be sexist you can loose half of the population pretty quick that way. Good Luck!

Answer 7

I recommend incorporating false doctrine, fruit punch, and a comet. Seems to work....oh yeah...and make sure everyone has matching jumpsuits. It'll set you apart and draw attention to your "search for individual truth" at the same time.

Answer 8

I had a religion once. It had no name. The rules were that all money and possessions went to me, that men could only where socks on their c0cks and women could only wear brown tube socks on their feet and Santa hats on their boobs. And once every 9 3/4 days you had to pray to Hans Moleman to bring you eternal salvation in the mountains of Montana with the eskimos and half a roast duck. This religion only had three members: me and two of my friends. And we got rid of it when we never got any roast duck.

Answer 9

Write a pop-psych book, based on people helping people understanding themselves. Start with a small group and encourage them to talk and help each other with whatever's going on in their lives.

Give your religion an interesting name.

Collect a small fee. Eventually you will find people who are enthusiastic. Educate them to do things your way, then "license" them to start their own groups.

Good luck.

Answer 10

alI things to laud god was declared in the bible, thus b spells Iobo if you enlighten the .'s, and french stop sign says I ARRET I so god is lauded as a IARRE T. who switched souls and thus is/was LARRY TODD S. who became LOBO

and I II III IIII and a b c d both laud god, as first series are rank and description ie rank I and then description of the I III I pattern on left wrist and clear right wrist is II III IIII and abcd read between the lines is a I.b. c.Id as in a IOBO cold as in after He died remembered forever as Larry become Vincent. and HAIL STEVENSON and LOBO as the two men who stole the alphabet from every white man alive ever. an many won't accept Me as their appointed KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS as the Lamb SLAIN=Larrib SIL A I IV. and when He wants He will piss any where He wants.

h=god=good angel=angel of death
f=loser=don=police=hells angels

and REV.9.11. war was about A'bad'don verses A'b'add'on as true KING OF ANGELS. and b=a DI stitched together and b=winner and based on how disrespectfull whites have become i don't care if the lobos are become god. TOP PROSPECT seems to be what I was like in WILD ROSE COUNTRY of Alberta this FRIENDLY MANITOBA boy. Cause I AM TODD S. and MY ex. was a ROSE C. and the leadership of angels can't stand that I AM simply superior to all of them, so they want Me dead, and ROSSKASTANIE VON TOD is german for Ashen horse of DEATH and it describes the era when I broke Roses arm and put it in a cast and also about MY BLOOD BATH so show you bitches i really ain't scared of DEATH. Too bad satan that alledged angel of light that i saw on ross avenue in the form of a light in which their is no darkness caused Me to fall in love. It makes Me weak this thing you call love. Hail allah.

Answer 11

Yes. Just like the Mormons, you need to find a religious book lost by a prophet hundreds of years ago.(It lends legitimacy to your beliefs. Sorry if I offended any Mormons.
