How to create your own personal religion:
1. Form a circle with golden dust acquired via begging on the streets of Rangpur (crystalline pixie stick dust may be used as a substitute).
2. Enter the circle, shoeless.
3. Fill out form I-62R1 and place it in an envelope with seven hundred seventy seven dollars.
4. Place the envelope outside of the circle. Detach your mind from material things. Kneel in the center of the circle and place your forehead and palms to the floor.
You are feeling sleeeeepy…pay no attention to the small man in the rooooom.
The cool thing is that everybody reading the above list of magical instructions realizes it’s just that – maaaagic.
Unfortunately, many folks willingly give much of their hard won treasures to people who pursue them as wild game in a land of milk and honey. The coin is used for building new temples and spreading their truth far and wide, but wait – if there was no towering building of holy marble, and there was no need to spread the truth to others, then why the hell should the precious be wasted on such triviality? Perhaps a more important gesture is that of sacrifice. Yes, that’s another ballgame entirely. And, of course, the quest for treasure should also be explored as it can be found that it often pits human against human and all of nature. Karl Marx better explains that, so I’ll leave it to him.
Sacrifice can be done without tithing. Tithing, or pooling resources, can be done to the extent that it helps maintain a sacred place. Overpayment can be done to buy the minister a new ride.
(Yes, that is a Steve Irwin Australian dollar)
