it turns out i accidentally founded a new religion.

i was on facebook arguing with some christians when i came up with a religion merely for arguments sake. turns our people are starting to take it seriously, so i made a facebook page. that was on saturday. in only afew days i already have roughly 20 followers, despite the fact that we say that the universe was made last wednesday, and that the earth is made from a burnt marshmallow.

specifically, i started by saying this;

"yet, i see a cross, and because of this, i am assuming that this was made for only the Christians, but is my god welcome? you see, i am a dragovinian. my religion believes that an invisible purple dragon with 3 arms, 2 heads, and 3 eyes on both his heads created the earth this past Wednesday, and every Wednesday he destroys, then recreates the universe just as it was. in our belief every scar you have, every memory you have, they are all fake, put there to test your faith in the great invisible purple 3 armed, 2 headed dragon. dinosaur bones? put there to test your faith in him. carbon dating? testing your faith. evolution? merely testing your faith. family? you were made to share DNA with people who were made at the same time as you. elders? if you are reading this, you are tied with about 6 billion other people for "oldest person on the planet."
but even through all that, it was all put there to test your faith in him. i worship the great dragon god "Sluffywinks" and i pray to him, and he is how i perceive god, and even though most people look at my religion and think i am stupid, will you welcome my god? is my worshiping welcome here?"

i then continued on;

"my religion is a semi new tradition which holds such beliefs as "last wednesdayism" (which i briefly talked about) and a belief which is also held by the pastafarians known as "intelligent falling" and when i talk about it people think i am lying, or playing a joke, but i am not. intelligent falling states that the theory of gravity is false. it states that the near innumerable "branch arms" of the great dragon "sluffywinks" (in pastafarianism it is the noodly appendages) come from under the trillions of scales of the dragon and hold every atom in the universe together. people who are shorter are more blessed because they are being held tightly, but with the recent population booms, the needs to use all his arms, and in an extremely quick rotation, which is why people are becoming taller and taller. we believe giraffes are liked by the dragon, as in one of our sacred tales, the giraffe attempted to flatter the dragon, by copying the dragons neck, and is now blessed with such a long neck. if you are interested in joining the canadian dragovinian church, just send me a message on facebook, or reply to me on this thread, and i will tell you about our beliefs."

i was surprised that people took it as seriously as they did, with responses such as;

"I've been a dragovinian since last Wednesday. its truly been a earthshaking experience for me, considering I am one of the less mainstream practitioners at my church of the dragovinian.

I've recently joined the choir here and cant seem to get the Psalms of Scale out of my head."

""the near innumerable "branch arms" of the great dragon "sluffywinks" (in pastafarianism it is the noodly appendages) come from under the trillions of scales of the dragon and hold every atom in the universe together."

=

The best thing ever said on Facebook."

so, i made a facebook group for the church, ordained some ministers, and 2 grand masters, and in several days i already have 20 followers.

so, awesome religion, or awesomest religion?
