People! Ever wondered about stuff? Ever felt that established religions are somehow not for you, yet still thought about the basic problems of life? Ever wondered how religions start? Well, now’s your chance to find out from the ground up.
Civ Land has spawned its own religion. Which will probably very quickly disappear. But hey what’s to lose?
This has arisen from the make fun of Christians thread which seems to have drifted a bit.
First what are we talking about:
What might be the rules of play?
Here are the suggested rules so far:
1. no-one is excluded;
2. all rules should be simple and easy to understand;
3. all action should promote the sum total of human happiness;
4. everyone is responsible for his or her own actions. No third party who operates behind the screens and is to be credited with positive outcomes, but remains blameless in case of negative ones;
5. Wittgenstein Proposition (7): Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must remain silent;
6. No rule is more important than another and no rule is cast in stone , apart from rule 6?
What do you think? Yeah, waste of time, I know. This'll sink without trace.
Current optional vote: Rule 6 (after reading the thread and making up your mind, naturally)

Spoiler :
Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values.
Perhaps to bind together?Religion(n) from Latin religi, religin-, perhaps from religre, to tie fast; see rely.
