I was just thinking of how utterly poor some of the ideas are when it comes to religion so I thought I'd "spec" my own for amusement :P

Okay so if we have a God, mine will be the planet earth. Reason being you could argue that its our oldest parent and everyone on the planet is part of it. Because earth is now the religions god, we also have a link to climate change, greenpeace etc in a quite weird way...

Bacteria are tiny but infect humans, multiply and can even kill the person they infect. Using this premise, humans are technically damaging our god (lol) and must be stopped! We now have a religion, god and motives to cleanse the none believers "wooo".

To make it more believable, I might make up an even more rubbish story about why the other planets failed in a giant fight and earth won, allowing it to support life haha.

If you think i need to be on medication and maybe even a nice white self hugging jacket, have a long look at scientology and my 5 mins of weirdness seem quite normal!
 
When religions were formed they were probably adequate answers for a relatively unlearned time. It's the lack of abandoning them when we now know better which is I suppose quite amusing..

Its amusing and quite disturbing at the same time in my opinion. Google the dead sea scrolls if you want a nice read on how religion shuns information contrary to its beliefs.
 
Well done, you've invented Gaia.

In other news, plenty of us believe without any element of the God of the gaps in our faith. Sorry to disappoint you all.

It's a little unfair on the mainstream religions as Earth actually exists.

You're also going to need a long dead prophet/teacher/madman that you can attribute sayings to. Ideally these sayings should be vague and left open to every possible interpretation - you don't want to discourage people from joining.

Okay then I choose Steve Irwin, whilst wrangling too many of our gods creatures, he suffers the wrath of the ray. Lesson to us all, don't **** off gods creatures, just all live in harmony!

As for a name, you lot can think of one :P
