Could we establish a new religion?

[Zofryer]

Good. You can be the cult leader.

no no no no no no no

I don't do the leader thing. I do the right hand man of the leader that pulls strings and gets awesome things done, then quietly slips away when everything goes up in flames type thing. My major function in a production of this type would be to stand around looking menacing, laugh manically when the leader says anything, and say things like:

"Come this way. The leader has plans for you."

"You'll have to deal with me first!"

"Yes, we'll have one large with extra toppings, and some cheese bread. Does that come with extra sauce? Well there's never enough sauce. Throw a few extras in there."

I'd also shake my fist and growl at TV monitors a lot when given bad news.

So I'd be Destro basically.

LOL

No thanks - I saw the best minds of my generation rot.

I wouldn't be so dismissive guys. Remember the impending fda death sentence and consider this possibility. If an expert can tell me why this would or wouldn't work I would love to hear it.

Honestly?

If one were to move quickly enough...

The Pastafarians did it with their Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster if I'm not mistaken. It could probably work. The major downside I see is it would potentially create a divide in the e-cig community that nobody wants. There are plenty of devout e-smokers, and a lot of them are also devout um devouts.

Not an expert, obviously, but I don't think something like that could ever honestly work. There's an entire scope of things, logical and spiritual that is involved in such a thing. I could write a book here on all of the reasons such a thing would be highly unlikely to work but I need more coffee. lol

I can't honestly see people dumping their current beliefs to adopt something so...hmmm...what's the word....

shallow.

why would you have to dump your current beliefs?

 

[Mac]

Exactly it could be written into the doctrine that the church specifically encourages it's members to treat their bodies as temples by continuing the several thousand year old nicotine ritual without consuming tar, carbon monoxide and the like. Members could be encouraged to follow any prior theophilosophical beliefs. IE buddha, christ, allah and the like could still be worshipped!

ordaination with the universal life church? Does your church have a doctine or is it just a general ordaination so you can officiate weddings?

cool organization. I especially enjoyed the click here to be absolved function. I have a checkered past so I clicked it like 17 times just to be safe!

On an added note sun (who I perceive as very in tune with the legalities here) seems to think this very good idea has come too late as, litigation for a ban has already begun and the embargo is already in place.

I am sure sun along with myself and most people on this forum would love for that to be wrong. so again are there any experts out there that think this concept could work? If it is at all feasable time is definitely running out.
Anyone???

 

[BloodFeastIslandMan]

sounds like a great idea, let's do it

 

[Applejackson]

Um... no.

I'm very anti-illegal drugs, sorry.

Anti-illegal drugs, but pro-legal-but-proven-to-be-more-harmful drugs? Gotta love hypocrisy.

you just gotta love it, so when the FDA bans ecigs making them illegal....she'll prefer analogs over ecigs?

 

[Two-A-T]

This is actually a pretty good idea. I don't know if it would work but is worth a try. Here is a link to a website that offers ordaination as well as assistance in starting your own church. Universal Life Church - Universal Life Church - ULC | Online Ordination, Spiritual Books Online, Church Services, Become a Minister

I recommend this one instead: Universal Ministries - Get Ordained to be a Minister for Free

My wife (Menthol_Goddess) and I are BOTH ordained through this organization and have performed several legally recognized weddings under our ordination with UM.

I am also ordained by Instant ordination as a minister at the Temple of Earth but my wife isn't

I am ordained with ULC also. There may just be enough of us to get something going.
