Start a TF Religion!

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:36 pm

Well, I mean... technically, we could.

Here in Hungary, the current requirements for starting an officially accepted new church is that you find 100 people who state they follow this new religion, and you have an official code of the religion's main principles.

And, that's all! A new religion is free of tax and gets lots of other benefist...
No wonder we're full of little churches that have very little to do with actual religion and are fronts for all sort of financial operations.

Many here do really this, only they/us dont acknowledge it consciously

I doubt the UK does anything similar, but suspect I could pull off becoming head of a church fairly easily it it were the case...

Put up a warning sign and have a couple of those flashing amber lights. Anyone falls in, it's their fault for not heeding the warnings.

Sadly, no.

Trekkies are people who do things like attend court in full Starfleet uniform and go to conventions to talk to Spock and Picard, rather than Leonard Nimoy and Patrick Stewart.

Yeah, the followers are called Badfanficists...

Careful, Jean-Luc. I don't want to make a convert here. The Church of Q was disbanded millennia ago for boring me.

"Q, I've seen you whining because you thought your clothes were an ugly color. Believe me, I'm in no danger of worshipping you," I reply acerbically. But the sight before me is too breathtaking, too awe-inspiring, for me to maintain such defenses very strongly. I can't stop smiling at the vision before me. "I merely think you're beautiful."

Would it involve Primus as our god and Unicron as our devil? Would we worship the Matrix as the holy embodyment of our god? Would "The Touch" be one of our hymns? "Till all are one?"

Have a beard, so you can dress like Riker for conventions (even the women) and own a Klingon / English dictionary. I think.

Beard... check.

Anyone pass me a dictionary?

Or you can... talk... real...slow... like... Kirk.

About TF religion, it'd be usefull to import toys tax-free, but otherwise I don't think it'd of much practical use. But just the tought that I could start it if I wanted (there are more then 100 hungarian TFans I know of) makes me really wonder what our law system's makers were thinking when they made this law. Or drinking.

I have one you could borrow

Sadly my beard got removed by some overzealous ladies with a razor when I got drunk at a party. They left me with a pornstar moustache that contrived to make me look like Steve Buscemi, so I shaved that off too

I reckon a transfans bible should be written. With everyones input so therefore we cannot have conflict between ourselves, thus eliminating war among other things, leaving us to live in a utopian society.

also it would be easy to get something about a resurrection

Let's set up the ten transfans commandments, here's my ideas:

1. Thou shalt not enjoy the G1 cartoon
2. The UK comics are the definitive contuity
3. Rumble is Red, Frenzy is blue
4. It's okay to take the piss out of other religions
5. Mad Brick and Pat Lee are the spawn of Unicron
6. Death's Head > Chip Chase
7. Xaaron > Alpha Trion
8. Thou shalt not be retarded fanatic
9. It's wrong to be politically correct
10. Thou shalt drink as much beer as possible

There should be a commandment with BW or at least Code of Hero.

Beer? Something a little stronger like Whisky!!

uniting the cartoon and comic fans? that'll be some mean feat!

If I can see thru it, it isnt beer.

Yup.

(I'm aware the US has a few traditional breweries as well as the ones making water-sugar-piss it exports, honest.)
