Speaking of Volcanoes
I normally don't do this...
But Scientology. Does the fact it can (and usually does) cost upwards of $500,000 total to become a completely enlightened member, seem to turn you off? Or don't you like to invoke the Wrath of Xxxx (xxx=enu|emu).
What about the fact that supposedly, Earth is a Prison Planet. And perhaps being heavily irradiated by the Hydrogen Bombs dropped into Volvanoes, laid waste to the surface of the Planet 75,000,000 years ago. (oops wait, 75,235,101 years, 244 days, 10 hours, 33 minutes, and 10 1/2 seconds, ago) BWAHAHAHA. After which Xxxx forced all the Thetans to watch movies for 36 and 1/2 hours to impress those things as the "memories" that we all remember.
Or that fact that all Diseases and Illness and Mental problems, evil decisions, etc... are all caused by Thetans attached to your living force in your body. That only about 70% of them can be remove by the fairly cheap (relative terms here) Doctrine II procedure or the very expensive (upwards of 10x the cost of the Doctrine II cost) Doctrine I procedure.
Then, the Implants. Bear, Gorillas, trains... and more type.
The fact that the Space Fairing craft look exactly like a Douglas DC-8...
I could go on, but I fear I have already lost you all. Okay, give me all your money to become enlightened. Come on what are you waiting for.

You will perish in flames, subcreature!
Gozer the Traveller will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a very large and moving Torb. Then of course in the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new form for him, that of a Sloar. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you.

How to make money; Invent a religion
The apocyphal story goes- L. Ron, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov had met at some fan convention and were having a few drinks and a little conversation. the subject of money came up and L. Ron said "If you really want the big money, you have to invent your own religion." And then proceeded to prove his point.
I have heard this story too many times from too many sources to discount it.

I've heard a variation
They had a bet on whether it was possible to start a religion in your own lifetime. Asimov thought not, the others thought you could.
The others both succeeded. :-)

I doubt he was the founder.
And, as far as I know, it's only considered a religion by those who use it as a detracting description. I don't think I've ever met anyone who follows secular humanism. I may be wrong, and probably am because I don't really know what it means in relation to religion. I've only ever seen it applied as a label to others. I can't remember a single instance of anyone ever declaring "I'm a secular humanist". If I knew what it meant and agreed with it, I'd be happy to make that statement however.

What Is Secular Humanism?
Secular Humanism is a term which has come into use in the last thirty years to describe a world view with the following elements and principles:
* A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted on faith.
* Commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence, and scientific methods of inquiry, rather than faith and mysticism, in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.
* A primary concern with fulfillment, growth, and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.
* A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.
* A concern for this life and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.
* A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.
* A conviction that with reason, an open marketplace of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children. all the rules of the religious but denying the label :-) thanx, bill Just call me Mr. Lynch \\

What's with the crappy humor?
If you take a Mormon fishing, why should you take at least 2?
If you take just one he'll drink all your beer.

"Wipe" that smile off your face
you know it was funny. And you already told me the Mormon joke at the Beep Bash. C'mon, Ben, you can do better than that. :) Dig deep. Use The Force, Young TillyWalker.

Thanks
But I couldn't remember all that shit! Ha ha.
Saw it first on a tshirt in New Braunfels, TX. Laughed till I shit. Har de har.
Then I found this guy's website [link|http://www.thejaywalker.com/pages/shit_happens.html|http://www.thejaywal...shit_happens.html]
I think he needs to put Southern Baptists and Church of Christ on there, but I'm still formulating their credos to fit the schemata.
Got a couple of good jokes tho:
#1) Q: Why don't members of the Church of Christ screw standing up?
A: Because it's too much like dancing!
#2) Catholics don't recognize marriages outside the church, Jews don't recognize Jesus as the Messiah, and Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store.

First question is missing an answer
1. What is the number and nature of the deity
One. Me.
Because even if I don't believe in anything else, I believe in me.
