The world needs a new religion, absolutely, although it would be extremely difficult to unseat the current ones and we would probably end up with more of a mess than we have now, so after thinking about it, probably not

Hmm a new religion that could work to an extent I do agree that it would probably cause more problems then it would fix but if we need a new religion ill voulnter to be the leader.

Actually, I have been receiving a great deal of revelations lately from whom I believe to be god. I am not exactly certain that I yet fully understand the meaning of them, but they seem to be suggesting that all of you are completely wrong about everything, and I have been called upon to correct all that by the establishment of a new religion.

I have been very busy lately, but as soon as I get some spare time, I am going to write them all down, and after it is revealed to me what this new religion is to be called, I shall begin accepting converts.

I am hoping that it will be called Henryism or some such, but I will acquiesce to his will, for I have discovered that god can get very spiteful and vindictive if you do not follow his commands.

I will keep everyone posted as to my progress.

If I join now, can I get a half-off deal or something? And do you think I could be a Henryist Bishop or something?

God just sent me a vision. It turns out that for the greater good of Henryism you must die and be turned into a noble symbol that we can all worship. So, do you prefer crucifixion or dismemberment?

just let me know when, how much, and where to ....

From my extensive studies, the basic premise of Henryism, is that we die a little each time we drink single malt scotch, we then descend into the bathroom of despair, from which ascend into a triumphant stupor. When we wake up in the morning we disagree about the interpretations with each other and do battle with less enlightened religions than ours

How many commandents should Henryism have and what should they be?

Okay I have one.

You believe in a God, you refer to God as an IT, you believe it is responsible for creation of the universe and planets, but that nature is a planet's own doing as a planet works independently and that God is neautral and is not responsible for any action that take place on Earth.

That's basically it...which is what I believe in, but I'd also throw in some politics, like to be part of this religion you must uphold to do the most beneficial and that there are no morals or ethics, only benefits and negatives and you must always do the benefit, even if that means killing yourself.

ThomasHenry

Hold on just a minute there, Sunshine ... It is me that is having the visions around here.... Not you ! ! !.

However, if it becomes necessary for to me die and become a noble symbol of worship, I suppose that I would prefer to die from getting stoned.

Sincerely,

The Prophet, T.H.

I am in the process of trying to establish a post office box to which the faithful may send their contributions. I am just awaiting a couple of more relevations to determine what would be the most efficient way to accomplish such a task.

I suspect that we are going to need a very large army, since I anticipate that there will be a great deal of stubborn reluctance amoung some of them to convert. And militarys are not so very cheap these days.

However, I believe that more importantly, we are in need of some Martyrs. If you wish to join the Martyr Program, you may do so in lieu of a donation.

Sincerely,

The Prophet Henry.

I have not the slightest idea what that all meant, but it sounds so good that I intend to incorporate it into one of my revelations. I just need to find a way to give it some sort of Medevial slant that will make it sound more religiously profound.

Sincerly,

The One True Prophet (Peace be upon him).
