A church devoid of all religious references where all who "feel
the need", but are not that fussed who satisfies it, are
welcome. Prior to the start of services a large vertical wheel
is spun until its pointer stops at one of the hundreds of
religions annotated around its circumference. From
Anabaptism, through Cargo Cults, to Zen Buddhism, Church of
Random has them all. Once the selection has been made, all
the paraphernalia, associated with that particular belief
rotates into place on a giant revolving stage, and the service
begins in whatever form necessary to satisfy the requirements
of the prevailing religion.
Not to be confused with: The Wheel of Fortune
What to avoid saying out loud: “My money’s on the Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence again”

Could reduce attacks on religious buildings, the church someone attacks may be their own. |

[JHC] Actually, it's Unitarian Universalism (the two merged in the early 1960s.) I sing in a UU choir, it's pretty cool to learn about different religious practices. |
|
| |
I have a bunch of Unitarian ancestors from the Boston area ca. 1740s. They tended to be the more educated and affluent of their day. |
|
| |
But then, I grew up in a small town (Los Alamos, NM - better known as the birthplace of the A-bomb) that had a church with a rotating altar for Jews (Saturday), Catholics (early Sunday,) and Protestants (later Sunday.) |

Not sure I agree with the Category [public:population control] |
|

Could be used as a form of encryption. We could call it 'UUencode.' |
|
| |
thanks to "Hidden Truths" for helpful feedback prior to
posting. (cesa) - that's amazing and I would think fairly
unique. I put it in to Population Control because that's
what religions do. Will certainly consider an alternative if
argument for it holds up. |

There will doubtless evolve a denomination whose "sacred duty" (liturgy, devotion, etc.) is to ride amount the wheel whilst pelted with religious icons. |
|
| |
That would be cool as a carnival act with the revolving lady and knife thrower and all |
|
| |
Tomorrow, the kids and I are observing Halloween. We’ll be at the Festival of the Dead in Salem, Massachusetts partaking in Spiritism, Wicca, Necromancy, etc. Seems appropriate. |
|
| |
Necromancy? Sounds like a hell of a party. |
|
| |
Hope you's in Mass. have your black thermal underwear in the dryer. It's colder than Hell's doorkeeper. |
|
| |
This is the sound of one cow clapping....sikh you here sikh you there..... |

It was excellent! We went through the witch museum, a couple haunted houses, danced to live music in the streets and cast spells in dark incense smoke filled basements. The temp was about 65F and it was sunny, which is perfect considering it snowed yesterday. I wore a t-shirt saying “Born Again Pagan”. |

Shz turned me into a newt! |

(I wish I had more of a following for the 'olidays I celebrate - the equinoxes & Solictices.) |
|
| |
This is a good idea. After all, every religion is the same. It's like acknowledging them all and making them all disappear at the same time. [+] |

I'm far too big to fit in 1 church. |
|
| |
[sleeka] & I don't take Freud for more than an interesting side note (I assume.) |
|
| |
In Hinduism , at the end of a "Pooja" ( systematic prayers), we turn clockwise a full circle to denote that God is not the idol standing in front but is all around us, and in every entity. |
|
| |
Unfortunately most Hindus who do that just do it mechanically without knowing the true purpose. |
|
| |
The same is true of much organised religion. |
