Okay everybody! We're creating a new Massassi fad religion, which is going to eventually spread like crazy and convert everyone! I guess it should probably be Star Wars related... let's see where this thread takes us. Okay, so i guess we need:

1. Name of Religion...
2. Life Goal for Members: I suggest "To become one with The Force" or something like that...
3. Ubiquitous Symbol which we will spread EVERYWHERE to frighten the masses into paranoid submission.
4. A list of rules and such for followers of the religion... I made a few somewhere... I'll post them up here in a while...
5. A Tome full of witty Star Wars quotes which will pass for wise statements: "Do or do not, there is no try."
6. A hierarchy system? Or is this gonna be one of those Communist "we're all equal" dealies?

Now, Massassians, spread forth and build an EMPIRE!!!

meh, some other time....
However, if we scam people out of money like other pseudo religions, i want a 50% cut.

Star wars makes too much sense to be an actual religion.

You need three-headed donkeys and purple lions with wings and sixteen tongues that walk backwards for no apparent reason. Have you read the appocalypse? It's full of stuff like that.

Uh, you should know by now it's not a good idea to mix "Massassi" with "Religion"

You have to somehow state that it's an ancient religion. Like you were on an expedition into Egypt and found a Soul Cave full of mysterious carvings but after you wrote them all down and translated them the cave collapsed so nobody else will ever be able to find it, ever. Even though you don't have the money to go on an expedition, you don't have the qualifications to go on an archaeological expedition, and you can't translate ancient Egyptian. Maybe you translated it with some kind of magical bead that was also buried in the collapsed cave?

Just count on the fact that the people who convert are really, really stupid and nobody will bother questioning your claims until after your death and after the religion designed entirely to give you a fortune of money and let you sleep with many, many married women will take on a life of its own.

Jon`C wins.

hrm that's right... i need to become a martyr for this to work...

Wahrr... weren't Massassians an ancient race from Yavin? And they build those "Temples" there (which is where we get our site name?)

Massassianism?

Agreed

Wahdja! I am too the poobah of this worthless religion! [kicks holy chalice... that uhm contains the sacrosanct remains of Darth... (fades into grumble)]

Didn't the real (SW) Anciant Massaians have some kind of religon?

Yah, they worshipped the planet Yavin.

I say ditch the Star Wars portion and make something random and attention-grabbing. Make a charity to help the middle-class and create missionaries to strip bars. Alcohol is the doorway to heaven and ignorance is sexy.
