I think I'll start my own religion....

My religion will involve the belief that everyone else's god(s) are yours, just with different faces. Therefore you should be nice to everyone, even those who don't believe in a god, because (s)he loves them anyways. You can have your choice of the name for the god(s). Choose one already in use somewhere or make up your own name. I'm going to encourage the use of Jaenelle.

The belief system involves being happy and not hurting others. No one should ever be killed, abused, bombed, blown up, not-aborted in the name of this religion. This religion believes you should sit in a nice green garden somewhere, with flowers. Unless you happen to have allergies, then sitting inside, in a wood-floored room with wooden furniture and perhaps some statues made out of stuff that you aren't allergic to. The requirement is that you're happy and peaceful.

You will always treat others like they are better than you. You should take a few moments out of each day to smile at people, compliment them with something they did well (Is that a new dress? I love it!), and help them with anything they might need help with. You won't try to convert people to your religion by standing anywhere and handing them things or by telling them that your religion is better. Their religion is just a different, more violent form of your religion. If they ask, happily tell them, but no pushing. There are enough pushy religions. (Ok, I got ambushed by some bible giving out guy on school campus again.)

This religion WILL preach happiness and nonviolence for hours and hours and hours at anyone who even thinks about doing something violent or hating towards another person in the name of the religion. I mean, if they're doing bad something in the religion's name, they're obviously a confused member and need to be set straight. Heck, I think I'll decide not to name the religion so that it can never be used for any evil purposes. It's hard to do something in the name of a religion which doesn't have a name. Although if it is ever named, I'm leaning towards Jaenelleism.

Edit: Something in here should be written about being divinely rewarded for taking long naps.

Btw, just because I write two posts in a day doesn't get anyone out of commenting on the post below this one. I expect two comments from each and every one of you. I went through the effort of writing two blog posts. I also just created my own religion! I deserve comments!

Btw, bring me food. I'm too dizzy to stand and I have this odd feeling that maybe I should eat.

This one sound's quite good, but why this: "You will always treat others like they are better than you"? Isn't equal better?

And isn't the nap itself a devinely reward :-)

Btw can't you make your roommate help you and get you some food? Or is he that selfish that he can't help anyone else?

I think I like your religion. Do I need to do something to join?
