I've decided to start a new religion
First I need a symbol to represent the faith. Something that will really get at people's minds. Let them know who's the boss.
Hmmm .... Yeah! That's it ... A man nailed to a cross! . . . ..... It's already been thought of? Oh well ... back to the drawing board. (Maybe a woman? ... nah! That would attract the wrong type of person) |

You could do a modern version.
Maybe a man sitting on an electric chair? Or in a gullotine, with a blade about to drop? |

Announcing the One True Faith - FABOGianism
Sorry guys, but couldn't resist. I invented this a few years ago....
The FABOG are the only true Gods! The tenets are necessarily simple and to the point. Ch 1. (1) The FABOG created the multiverse as an experiment 6 days ago. (That is earth days as in 24hrs). (2)The experiment will end upon the seventh day, ie. tommorrow. Don't worry bretheren, have a good sleep. There is always another tommorrow. Ch 2. (1) All findings of science (even tho they will change) are correct. (2) The Big Bang did occur ~13.5byrs ago. The Universe evolved according to Hoyle (the FABOG will let you work that one out) (3) Any seeming contradiction is explained by RTC. (RTC Relativistic Time Compression). Whoops, the High Preistess is calling me to dinner "she who must be obeyed..." Coming up **the absolute solution to the problem of GOOD & EVIL** I kid you not. |

FABOGianism
The FABOG are the only true Gods!
The tenets are necessarily simple and to the point. CREATION: Ch 1. (1) The FABOG created the multiverse as an experiment 6 days ago. (That is earth days as in 24hrs). (2)The experiment will end upon the seventh day, ie. tommorrow. Don't worry bretheren, have a good sleep. There is always another tommorrow. EXISTENCE: Ch 2. (1) All findings of science (even tho they will change) are correct. (Within an experimentally determined error range). (2) The Big Bang did occur ~13.5byrs ago. The Universe evolved according to Hoyle (the FABOG will let you work that one out) (3) Any seeming contradiction is explained by RTC. (RTC Relativistic Time Compression). MORALITY: Ch 3. (1) Let it be known to the faithful: ‘Whatsoever the FABOG determine is Good, is GOOD. Whatsoever the FABOG determine is Evil, is EVIL.� {Comment} Absolute determinism of Good & Evil. (2) Let it be known to the faithful: “The FABOG have never determined anything to be either Good or Evil.� (3) Let it be known to the faithful: The FABOG will never determine anything to be either Good or Evil.� {Comment} Thus the problem of Good & Evil is resolved. IMMORTALITY: Ch 4. (1) Let it be known to the faithful: “Don’t press your luck!� |
