6,000 years in the future, archeologists uncover a well preserved computer hard drive from on of those people who spend all day on BC (you know who you are). They are able to download the discussion activity of various BC members.... but one stands out and...
That member's discussion talking points becomes the basis for a religion or philosophy in that future society.
Pick a BC member (yourself or another) and (based on their talking points) describe the tenants of "their" religion

here's how its done!
GTally:
You are all guests in the Inn of the Universe. Many people complain about the rain, the hurricanes, the droughts, the crush of their fellow humanity crowding in on them. You're here as visitors, you can't comprehend how hard it is to keep the kitchen staff of the universe on, how to keep the roof of the universe from leaking, how to meet inter-universal universe inspection criteria. So cheer up or I'll send the lot of ya back where ya came from!-
A thousand year old hard drive may well be a soft drive by then.
Nice post.

There is a problem with your basic analogy: people today did not suddenly discover a 6000 year old text and then make a religion out of it, the religions that grew out of it evolved over the millennia.
You generally only get a nutcase splinter group to buy into a new set of beliefs, but by proselytizing and forcing it on their offspring, they grow the new belief system so that, several generations down the line, it may have grown into something more substantial.
You need only look at the history of such groups as the Mormons, 7th Day Adventists, and Christian Scientists...or even the entire Protestant movement...for validation.
A widespread acceptance of a new belief system doesn't happen overnight.-
work with me here. this was really more of a "how well do you know your fellow BC members/promote yourself" thread rather than a religious thread per se. All in good fun

my cult, go on pick my cult-
I can't pick on it until it has been around a generation or two.
How long does it take for red pandas to reproduce? -
wow... that's a pretty personal question... o_0
-
I just need to know so I can determine how long it will take to create enough generations that I can legitimately pick on the Red Panda's cult...
-
when you ask "how long it takes" it is a surefire opening for him to brag on his... er... prowess

Well, a six thousand year old hard drive that was not only viable, but could actually be read by an OS from that time would be a miracle worthy of developing a religion around. We can barely read hard drives from twenty years ago! -
anyone else want to take a crack at it?
-
I love this idea...why are some people incapable of joining a fun discussion in the right spirit? -
idk, maybe it will pick up by evening
-
I'd do it if I had the energy...

On the first page, it was the Gnome. And the Gnome was good. On the second page was the Gnome's wise words concerning freedoms. The Word was the Gnome, and the Gnome spoke through the prophet, Thomas Paine.
-
lol, nice. I like it
-
The Gnome sayeth that all freedoms are granted, and if thou shalt prohibit freedom, though shalt be smited by His mighty....hat. -
yeah... it's made out of concrete y'kno
-
And yea, all children shall be placed in work camps, as Agit8r clearly foresaw. -
Ha!!!

Anok:
"Money is the root of all evil. Because money is evil. The moneychangers of the great temples of Mammon take from the responsible saver so they may devour the lowly and meek with usurous loans, whilst siphoning dividends of the false profits into their own pockets, leaving the temple standing precariously on a foundation of sand. cleanse yourself of the greasy buck, arise, and exchange fairly!"-
Ha!
And don't forget to wash your hands, dirty capitalists!

they will pick up my fossil and see an extra finger on my right hand.-
But more importantly, will the hand be the hand of God, and will that hand of God be flipping humanity the bird?
-
-
LMAO wow you've got the funniest ideas!
-
That's because I'm deranged.
-
-
ok count me in. this is my 'deranged mental state week'
-
we could create a "National Deranged Mental State Month"

Samuel_1982: The great seer and prophet of the BC era - he whos name is derived from the hebrew terms "Shama" and "El" meaning "God has Heard".
Followers of the BC religion were offered Samuel_1982s guidance and wisdom seriously despite his unorthodox approach toward his giveth of advice and shared wisdom.
Upon Samuel_1982s retirement he gathered his followers in the BC thread and emphasized how Prophets and Judgy'mc'judgers had a greater voice collectively than that of the worlds leaders.
Upon retirement Samuel_1982 goes unheard of until his death in his hometown of Auck NZ, however he is later resurected by BC members due to sound advice and fortune telling being in great demand. -
Well sam,sorry for ya,but HOLLYtheHOUSEWIFE has to knock ya off your horse,because my religion would MAKE,everybody get a long,have fun, and mandatory field partys on Friday night! And live each day to the fullest! You never know what tomorrow brings!-
"field parties" must be middle America's equivelent of "logging road parties" here in the Northwest
