hi all. here we go. over a few beers with mad mackerel a couple of weeks back I decided to look into the legal requirements for forming a new religion - for fishos.
I found it is actually quite simple to do and as proof of the existence of any god is not necessary I propose the following:
1. we adopt worship of the god "piscatorius".
2. every god needs an antithesis whom I propose to be the dark god "verminus".
3. "church" meetings will consist of the occasional get together where non-alcoholic wine is to be replaced with full strength beer and "the holy spirit" known colloquially as "joy".
4. no teeny weeny glasses. in fact anything less than 7oz will be scorned and the offenders labelled heretics and duly "stoned".
5. no partaking of bread but all forms of seafood will be welcomed by the congregation.
6. meetings to be led by "the pasta" but sermonising will be frowned upon.
7. lesser gods to be ascertained by online polls.
8. I propose mad mackerel for the position of "poop".
9. a name for the church to be decided by online polls. (my suggestion is church of the fatter grey quaints).
10. a registered mainstream charity (such as camp quality) to receive donations which should be 100% tax deductible to donors.
so brothers, who's in?
