I've realised that nearly all our major worlds religions today started up around 2000-2500 years ago, roughly speaking. I've always been curious about what would happen if I tried to start a religion, so here goes. DISCLAIMER: please do NOT take the following post too seriously.

the Creation stories of Dwarikanism:
Billions of years ago, God (whose name is Dwarikan) was making love to Matter. Unfortunately, things got out of hand, and although they successfully conceived the Universe, Matter died in childbirth. Dwarikan felt immesne pain and guilt, because he felt that he had killed his own lover. As a result of this, Dwarikan spent billions of years in remorseful mourning, over which time he grew progressively weaker. During this time, the corpse of Matter decomposed and mixed with the still young child, the Universe, to form the cosmic soup which we inhabit today.
Now, after being terribly sad for so long, Dwarikan decided to open his eyes, and what he saw was, the Universe, the offspring of his ill-fated love. Now, his misery was compounded by the knowledge that he had not been a good father and that he was growing weaker by the day.
By this time, humans had emerged on earth, but far from being the only life in the universe, we were just one tiny group out of a huge community of life. Think of it like this; if the universe were a little boy, earth and the human race, are just one of his little red blood cells.
Seeing life flourish in the Universe, his son, Dwarikan took some heart, and seized his self-pitying for a few thousand years. But then, before long he realized that although the universe was bursting with life, it did not recognize him. That's right, the Universe, his own son, could not recognize Dwarikan, his own father!
Now, up till this point, the story as been going along at the pace of billions of years, but here, it slows down almost to a stand still, and goes at only one or two hundred years at a time.
Well what Dwarikan realized was that although life was flourishing in the Universe, none of that life recognized him. On earth for example, numerous religions emerged, and it seemed like they might have caught a glimpse of Dwarikan, but they always got things wrong, like calling him Yahweh, or Buddha, or Brahma or something or other. No one had the right image, no one got the story exactly right, although some got terribly close. Until now.
Because now we have recognized Dwarikan as he truly is. A feeble, broken old fellow, whose just looking for some love. And plus we've got his name right too this time, and we know that it's Dwarikan because every time you say Dwarikan, Dwarikan chuckles a little bit, and if you go some place really super quiet (there'es only a few quiet enough on earth), you can hear him.
Well so the mission of Dwarikanism is really just to make Dwarikan feel better. We can do this by saying his name a lot. Because this shows Dwarikan that we recognize him, which is all that Dwarikan really wants. So the goals of Dwarikanism basically are:
1. Get other people to say 'Dwarikan'. As much as they can/want to. Hopefully at least once or twice.
2. Unite our world together. No more divisions between humans, we should all peacefully convince each other about the truth of Dwarikanism.
3. We might or might not be the first race to recognize Dwarikanas he truly is. Regardless, we must unite ASAP and then go out into the unverse to meet up with other life forms and convince them that Dwarikan is really. When we've got all life in the Universe recognizing Dwarikan, surely the old chap will feel better.

So, what do you think? How would you react to Dwarikanism? Feel free to answer the poll and comment on your decision. Also if you've got any suggestions that would make the story more credible, they'd be very much appreciated.
