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.

Religion is in decline. You need new ideas to convince people. :)
 
Pastafarianism is the true way
 
I support people's natural heritage as Dwarikanists and will ensure Dwarikanism guides our future if I am elected to the esteemed position of *insert political title*, as he has spoken to me in my quietest hours, personally.

One question: who's our mortal enemy? All religions need a built in "other" so we can remain dedicated to our beliefs and good little servants...of Dwarikan, of course.

The mortal enemy is anyone who hurts Dwarikan's feelings. This is because they make Dwarikan feel sad, and when he feels sad, his tears fall into the Universe and cause natural disasters and tragedies.
 
It's easier to just create a lolcat religion or smthing.
 
It's a good start but I think you need to deal with a couple of things that you're missing:

1. One good and completely arbitrary rule (like, polygamy, or a beard regulation, or clothing styles) just to establish the authority of Dwarikan.

2. Impending doomsday/apocalypse scenario. This would give a little extra oomph to the religion, you don't have to kill yourselves, in fact you could even try a more innovative take on the world ending, just take a different approach to it and try to live your lives to the max and try to get all people to say the name before the apocalypse.

3. Some sort of arbitrary prejudice against some specific group. Again, establish the authority and a real physical threat for the followers, sure there is the "devil" or superdevil, but you also need to remember that Left Handed people are the tools of his operation on our plane of existence.

And after that everything will be about in line.
 
Cool story bro, (Casual Dwarikan)
This isn't what "Cool story bro" means at all, if someone replied to this with "cool story bro" then they really don't care about Dwarikanism at all and are going to ignore it and you as a crazy.

Thanks for the tips. How about

1. Forbidding puns on days starting with a T. That's just a no-no.

2. Dwarikan's weakness is caused by his general weepiness and gloominess. And if he goes on being depressed for too long he might just pop it, which would mean that end of all of us. So to lift his mood everyone's got to say Dwarikan.

3. Dwarikanists must be opposed to bigots and racists around the world, as they divide the human race, fundamentally compromising the Dwarikan mission of first of all uniting humans. For a more specific target, anyone proponents of budget cuts to NASA or any other space program, as space exploration is another key to the Dwarikan mission.

This isn't what "Cool story bro" means at all, if someone replied to this with "cool story bro" then they really don't care about Dwarikanism at all and are going to ignore it and you as a crazy.
