If we MUST have a Theocracy...

[UdoKier]

What shall the official state religion we are all forced to join be?

Hmmm... I think that's all of them.


(And yes, this is a sarcastic question)

1. It may as well be Chthulhu.

At least he's honest about wanting to eat me.

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Other: Bring back the Roman pantheon.

We could rip out the statue of old Abe in the Lincoln Memorial and turn it into a Temple of Jupiter. And rename the Washington Monument in honour of Priapus.

3. Put Tenuta in charge of the Theocracy

and make this the offical land of Judy-ism!

[charlie]

4. No SubGenius?

You're the first on the rack when we take over. "Other" indeed, you slack-deprived yokel.

[Spider Jerusalem]

5. One nation, under "Bob".

Hehe.

[bvar22]

6. BokoNonism

live by the untruths that make one happy. Bokononistic sex is a union of two souls achieved by placing the soles of two people's feet together.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. Ancient Greek Paganism,

with liberal use of Dionysaic rituals.

[azoth]

8. Evhoe!

[EstimatedProphet]

9. Norse mythology

We could all carry around giant hammers, and everyone would put out their right eye.

OK, maybe not.

10. hail satan

sorry, listening to some old slayer tracks today

[iconoclastic cat]

11. If God is all-powerful, why does He care if we worship Him or not?

Just asking.

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Because apparently...

god is a neurotically insecure extrovert who requires that we love him or suffer hell. Come to think of it, he sounds quite similar to a LOT of psychotic tyrants.

[Darranar]

18. An excellent question. n/t

[yurbud]

13. Sauron from Lord of the Rings

Rummy will start genetically engineering orcs pretty soon.

[UdoKier]

14. No votes for Hasidism?

Can I get a shout-out for the Hasidim?

I must have been a fool, investing in black hat futures...

[patricia92243]

15. Muslim, of course (sarcasm)

[jobycom]

16. Hey, don't knock it

The Muslim Caliphate was the flower of the Earth during its time, and the Al-Andulus caliphates in Spain were some of the most racially and religiously tolerant and diverse cultures in the world's history, at times, not to mention the heighth of arts and sciences at the time. Without Muslim Spain's learning, Europe may have never emerged from the Dark Ages. We could do a lot worse.

In fact, right now we are doing a lot worse.

17. Pre-Inquisition Albigensian Dualism

Cool religion. Matter was created by an evil Creator god who trapped pure light inside the material bodies we inhabit. We are part matter, part spirit, and our goal is to avoid all material pleasures, from sex to french fries, in order to free the light within us. If we fail, the light moves to another body and gets to try again.

Of course, most people fail, and only a few Select have to actually obey any of these rules. They get to starve themselves to death to prove their purity.

Nice theocracy. As soon as the leaders are chosen, they have to fast, thus we get a turnover of religious nutcases every forty days or so, and they pretty much ignore us as lost causes, so we can do what we want.

Well, that's the way I'm setting it up, anyway.

19. Solipsism

Then everybody's happy.

Except when they're not. Then it's their own damn fault and I don't get the blame.
