You should put that one up as a conspiracy thread. I'm not even sure which side i'd take, even. Oh, i've got a great one. Gotta put that one up!
Thanks for putting it up. Thinking about the book you are going to write some day, was wondering whether it could be more worthwhile to start a party than a religion, but then perhaps there is more money to be made out of religion than politics?

Ah, i'm not interested in money. You know the expenses furore in Britain? I could get by easily on a fraction of what they all claim. I'll start posting some on a new thread.
So you work for love and charity then?
I work to get by. I also recognise that the world is terribly flawed. And i hope to help change that.
Dirk - It's good to know you work. I was considering the idea that you were a whinging Pom of the worst kind, the ones that live on the dole, then complain about how the government doesn't do enough for them.
By the way, you are aware, aren't you, that the US provides a whole lot less support than the UK does. No welfare for single people, unemployment payments below the poverty level and limited to six months, no medical care unless you are employed or rich. Maybe it could be an interim destination for you on your way to the no-government worlds of the Congo or Somalia.
I think a religion would be very profitable. I could maybe do a deal with a chocolate manufacturer to make a special line of chocolate that I could buy for a song, use in a ceremony, and sell for a fortune. Be one with the god of chocolate! To eat chocolate is to worship chocolate!

I know - workfare and that.
I don't think that the US system is particularly kind to the workers. But that seems to be the trend in nations these days.
I see welfare as important for the redistribution of wealth towards the victims of the system.
I'm not a hippy - i'm a communist. We work.
Good idea, and in the United States I'm certain it is very much doable. Religion is BIG business, especially the Cable TV ones. Chocolate would be a really good idea, there are already millions addicted to it.
Wear a funny outfit. Like that guy in the Vendetta movie. Old and fat with the right disguise can make for very endearing and entertaining. You can be anything you want to be with a disguise like that
What about dressing as a Hershey's Kiss? Even if I do rattle your chain once in awhile (just for fun) I think you could pull it off.
That would be a good shape to hide behind, agreed. I can visualize it ...What about dressing as a Hershey's Kiss? Even if I do rattle your chain once in awhile (just for fun) I think you could pull it off.
Radio would be good. Especially if you work out special deals with the rightist groups, that would be automatic advertising for you as well
Sadly starting your own religion is not as easy as it may sound. Firstly you would be going up against God himself which is never a good idea. Secondly you would need to have a lot of people following you and what you believe in which is not the easiest thing to do in the world and finally you will need to have some kind of out of the world theory to support your religion which if you cannot prove by some means of proof, no one will really believe you.
So if you got all that covered by all means, don't hesitate.
