Create Your Own Religion Competition

You’ve got the long hair, the nice bushy beard, and lots of beliefs, but you don’t have the 2.2 billion adherents worldwide. Or perhaps you’re chubby and like to sit cross-legged, but no one is making statues of you. Or maybe you’re a mediocre sci-fi writer that wants people speaking your psuedoscience.

Well now you can be the next Jesus, the next Buddha, or even the next L. Ron Hubbard. Sign up now to create-your-own religion. You name it, write down the beliefs, rituals, and holidays. We will then post the best submissions on our site and allow you to compete for followers.

All religions had to start somewhere. There are 7 billion people out there who need something to believe, bring out your inner missionary and get converting!

UPDATE: We have closed submissions. We received 906 religions from Huffington Post readers. Over the next couple weeks, we will be slowly adding submissions to the slideshow. Sorry for the delay.

Here are the submissions so far. If yours isn't there yet, please be patient. We're constantly adding to it!

Beliefs: We worship the almighty game. Tetris = God. God > You. Thus we worship Tetris, in hopes that we will be provided with the blocks we need to complete our goal.Rituals:Each day of the week corresponds with an almighty block of Tetris. Monday is the line block. On this day you must dedicate 15 minutes of your day to waiting in line. Tuesday is the J block. On this day you must drink juice while jay-walking. Wednesday is the L block. On this day you must be as logical as possible. Keep in mind, questioning your deity would be illogical. He will smite you. Big time. Thursday is the square block. On this day you must mess stuff up for other people. show no remorse. Friday is the S block. On this day you must find a snake, and tell it a bedtime story. Preferably from Tetris: The Holy Text. Although stories involving Captain Underpants are also acceptable. Saturday is the T block. Drink some Orange god-dam pekoe. (that's a kind of tea btw,) Sunday is the Z block. On this day you must say Zed, instead of Zee. Like how the Canadians pronounce it. Holidays:On May 11th we celebrate Indian National Technology Day, and Minnesotan Statehood day.trtguy

Hey, mine was awesome and creative. It didn't get posted, though. I reckon it was too cool for school. Heh, figures. These all suck, except for that awesome Michael Jackson one. Other than that, they're not even interesting. The ones which tried to be hilarious failed miserably at it. My religion had Dr. Phil AND Otto Günsche, our God. Doesn't get any better than that.

Shame they never got around to finishing this...there were so many more ideas!

Pick up a Bible or a Koran and read about what happens to those who mock God. Read about the people who worship false Idles. To each his own. I pray for you.

GOD is all the branes of the multiverse and everything in between. To gain power from the FORCE you must connect with the Source. The earth is a very brief idea in GOD'S mind.

If there were a god that could be found, I would challenge her/him to a duel.

My bible would be very brief: Live by no man's code.

My endless library religion didn't make it?

I want my hobby to be tax free too but since I read more than one book, I guess it does not qualify.

Get on with it!!

I guess it takes a long time to read 800 concise bibles. And then what to do? Post all 25 "dog" religions, or just the one most well thought out. I'm sure there are many duplicates. Maybe they could have daily run-offs of those that are similar. Then go to the semi-finals, etc. ;-)

The Church of the Holey Sweater actually has more members than the church of that idiot in Florida who was burning the Qurans! Why isn't that one on here?

I am still waiting to see if my religion is going to be approved by the App Store.

Like most good news, I await word on my religion . Seems like I am going to have to convert by the sword.

I realized that I might be too honest to have my own religion when I came to the conclusion that the only single creature that venerates me is my cat.

[cachinnatrix]

I don't even have that. My cat thinks my husband is god, and I am a servant.

I thought the old joke was that dogs, seeing all that we do for them, think that we are gods, but cats, seeing the same thing, think that they are gods ...

Ok here is my new religion... We claim that the weather is effected by humans increasing the emissions of natural gases and we get a lot of scientists to go along by promising them grant money then we need a front man like an ex president or something... Oh yea that ones taken already.>
Ok how about we take over the Democrat Party and uses judges to skirt the Congress and invent our own form of sacraments like queer marriage and funerals for trees and outlawing aspects of other religions like Christianity? Darn! That one is taken too!!!!

How much are the Koch brothers paying these days?

No religion you could make up could be any worse than some of the ones we already have.

I guess this is done. Disappointed on the lack of follow through.

I, too, am a servant to a divine cat!
