If I believed in fairy tales, and made them my religion,?

Would people think I am a nut, and if I passed a collection plate around would they give me money so that I can build a huge spectacular church, and wear robes and funny hat?

    If its you alone then people would call you a nut. If you got others following you then people would do it and take it seriously.

    I don't know if they would think you were a nut for those things It would depend on what was the most obvious nutty characteristic you possess. If you barked like a dog and asked everyone to call you Lassie, that make give you the Nut title quicker than your attempt at cult leader.

    If you passed a collection plate I would not give money so you could build a church. You could wear robes and a funny hat if you wanted.

    I would not call you Lassie or give you dog treats.

    It's called "religion" ----faith with no proof.

    And it's done all the time. Google The Crystal Cathedral + Orange County. The guy made a bushel basked of money thousands of times over.

    The human choose for have self belief is powerful, yet for those with get admission to to expertise, perception in deities is only the make-perception of the baby carried over into adulthood. a baby doesn’t particularly differentiate between make-perception and certainty. we predict of we are all grown up, we predict of we are mature, in certainty although we in no way go beyond adolescence. It’s an identical mechanism which furnishes our absorption in memories or television or movies, an identical reason that cleansing soap stars who play undesirable characters get accosted in the line. We proceed to be creatures of make-perception, of fairy memories. I easily have examine the Bible, the Koran, the Egyptian e book of the lifeless, the Bhagwat Gita and Harry Potter. they're each and each of an identical. With condescension the transcendent minds pity ‘the believer’ who lives and dies with out ever understanding. A waste of a life. rather i could stay for a 2d in certainty than stay one thousand years in make-perception.

    You are free to belive what you want. But dont forget that humans are desighned perfectly (google the "eye" or "ear"). We must've been created by something that can actually think. Is It too surprising that the God sent a messenger for us?

    Already been done. How else do you think Christianity started?

    An example of someone trying their own religion out. FSMism makes much more sense than Christianity, Islam, Judaism...

  • Give it a try and see what happens. See if your little "religion" lasts 2000 years. Bigot.
