A NEW and IMPROVED kind of FAITH.

[B_Ungaro]

Greetings,
A short time ago, I suggested that we start a new FAITH based on kindness and forgiveness. It was received with a lot of enthusiasm. Including myself, we already have
three supporters. It looks like the Jesus Nazis have departed this board looking for converts elswhere. We kindly kicked their ass. The Religion topic is too important not to be used. I wanted to re-kindle the interest in our movement.
While the total movement is not yet defined.
Some of the ideas have already been kind of
discussed. Examples:

1. We should try to do right the first time
everytime.
2. If we fail, we should make things right on the spot or ASAP.
3. From those whom we wrong, we should ask for forgiveness, without waiting for Jesus
to correct our mistakes.
4. Those who wrong us, we should forgive, not because we want to go to HEAVEN, but because it is the right thing to do.
5. No matter how much money we make on this deal, we should not build a fancy church. Our meetings should be held in Ukrainian or Hungarian restaurants. In Australia the meetings should be in BBQ joints.
6. No matter how much money we make on this deal, we should not support any politicians,
unless they are DEMOCRATS.
7. We should have our own MECCA. I suggest
Las Vegas. The Mecca of Pleasure.
8. Vodka or Barack Palinka should be used instead of Holy Water. (Where does Holy Water come from, anyway?)
9.
10.

We also have three of the Ten, Suggested
Codes of Conduct:

1. Thirty seconds is the maximum suggested time for being mad at anybody.
2. We suggest that no mind altering substances be consumed shortly before or during driving any motorized vehicles.
3. We suggest that if you are going to screw
around on your partner or spouse, you should first move out of the house. Might change your mind.
4. One should only believe what is provable
by science. Excepting those situations while involved having fun.(Thank you Philip.)
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

As you can see from the above, we need additional ideas about basic operating procedures.
We also need 6 more suggested codes of conduct.

Rewards:
Doing the right thing has it's own rewards. Correcting any mistakes on the spot or ASAP has it's own rewards. Forgiving those who wronged you have it's own rewards. No need for any Pie in the Sky type rewards here. Still, it is suggested that you should reward
yourself and your loved ones for a job well done. These rewards are all self financed.
Here are just a few suggested, real rewards for real people:
1. Spend the day or a week or a month in nature. Get really back to basics.
2. Go to a museum. Be assured of your origins. Real history leaves behind evidence.
Myths leave behind confusion and scams.
3. Go see a comedy. Either a movie or a play.
Laughter is medication for the soul.
4. Next time you are given a pay raise, ask if you could take all or part of it as extra vacation.
5. Do not let the TELEVISION take over your life. Watch only those programs that you have pre-selected from the schedule. Television should not eliminate family conversations, families playing games together, above all, reading time.
6. Find time for hobbies.
7. Find time for participating in some kind of sport.
8. Take extended vacations. One or two weeks vacations do not let you un-wind. You will only return to work with the same tensions as
you started your vacation with.
9. Go see Manchester City play football.
10. Don't go to see Manchester City play football. This may be more rewarding than the above reward.
11. Go fishing with Bill.
12.
13.
14.
15.

Naturally we need more suggestions for rewards also.

Have fun with it
Good Luck.
Bill

Man, Bill.. you have surpassed yourself! I can't WAIT to see how this one plays out.

Foggy, do you shed your collar before seeking such sick entertainment? Can'thardly believe a minister would deliberately encourage incivility in a being who is obviously unstable-apparently to a dangerous degree. Believe me, Brother, this entity has no concept of the moral and immoral definitions used by normal humans. In fact, this one comes closer to functioning on pure animal instinct than any I have encountered outside maximum security units and padded cells. The faces displayed by this troubled being are a product of madness, in the extreme. When pushed beyond his canned speech he becomes incoherent, and even presents moronic behavior patterns. The debility might be attrributed to the use of powerful, mind-altering, drugs. Or it could be due to some trauma. In any case, there is nought to be gained here. Peace

No speaking in tongues.

Cool Bill,
In Australia we will convene our services around a BBQ.

Anyhow, my addition
- and no believing anything if it isn't provable - unless it is fun!

Greetings Philip,
It's already posted to the list.
Good Luck

Greetings,
Just a quick report on our progress. We now have support on three continents. We are growing faster than I would have thought possible. We are accomplishing this without
killing millions in the process. We are not using ridiculous premiums either, like heaven, eternal life etc, etc. No threats
either. We are doing it the old fashioned way, just being kind, kind, kind. We need to think about just how big we want to get. What if Putin finds out about us and would want to adopt our faith and bring along all the Russians. Like the Holy Roman Empire did with Christianity. We need to be careful
with them Russians. I will let you know periodically about our progress. Please don't forget that this Faith is your Faith.
Give us some suggestions on how we can be an even better Faith.
Good Luck
Do not send any money. We don't want the IRS
in on this.
