Day 2 of captivity. Today’s goal… start a new religion.

Yes, I know. If you want to tick people off talk about religion. Let’s face facts. We are living in odd times. Times when the religious majority seems to think they are horribly persecuted. Times when science is trumped by dogma. We seem very capable of judging everyone and everything… as we spout that this is not our judgement, but God’s judgement. And we don’t see the problem with that statement.

So I’m starting a new religion. It has only a few simple tenets… so we won’t need books or scholars or even leaders.

1. Take care of your shit

2. Don’t be a douche

3. Read the paper

4. Talk to people… especially your family

So let’s break it down. No scholars or leaders required. If you do number one, number two kind of takes care of itself. Number three helps with numbers one, two and four. And number four basically makes number one and two more effective.

So there you have it. That’s the religion. I have yet to come with a name, bu there’s got to be a good one out there.

So no more alienating, judging, being threatened, being fearful, attacking, killing, maiming, abandoning, or starting war with anyone who holds different beliefs. Let’s just grow up and get on with it, okay.
