Who Will We Be Worshipping This Week, You Ask?

Through a simple Google search, I’ve found a guideline to creating your own religion! Therefore, in the spirit of DIY, that’s what I’m going to do! Well, actually, I’m a bit too lazy so I’ll leave that up to you. Let me know when my tithe is due, okay?

  

Here’s how simple God-creation can be:

1) Create a God. One with a catchy name is best. Should be simple and out of the ordinary, but not too far out that people can’t remember it.

2) Make it in charge of something people already focus on, but don’t have a target for that focus.

3) Make it something that people will be reminded of frequently.

4) Make it easy for them to “buy into” the worship of your New God.

5) Make it ambiguous.

6) Establish some standards by which the God should be referred to, creating an intrinsic reverence right from the start.

7) Make cool symbols. They should be things that people already know and see everywhere. And they should be easy to draw and say.

Now, let’s see how easy it is to turn it into a Religion!

8 ) You need an opposing force. Not necessarily an arch-enemy, but an opposite perspective so that people can pick sides and fight over things.
9) You need to confuse everybody. This will make sure that nobody can be really certain WHAT they believe, because it is all so non-sensical to begin with. And when you don’t spell it out exactly (or even if you do) you know how those funny humans will all magically just get along, right!
10) The Big Reward.
