A major part of this is mocking Transcention's agnostic religion. So, I tried to base this off of his notions like "nobody can know if God exists", but went a completely weird direction just to mock the idea of forming a new religion.

Oh Awesome and Glorious one. Can you not give us a symbol to which we can worship and prostrate ourselves to, so that we may feel closer to your Awesome presence

There is already discord amongst your followers oh mighty AG. We are splintering into camps fighting, berating and ridiculing each others ideas and recipes. OH MIGHTY ONE what is the correct method to kill cook and consume babies in your honour.

Give me a sign oh great one and I will act as your sword arm and smite those blasphemous Orwellian's who in their barbarism consume babies raw and offer no smoke towards your glorious nostrils

Well, my disciple, the best symbol is "AG", for it is simple enough to place on buildings, and timeless enough to be awesome until the end of eternity.

As for the Orwellians, the awesomeness of their acts depends upon the way that they eat these babies raw. Yes, it is safer to cook babies, for the glory of the smell of their roasting meat, however, the freshness of their kill matters too. If the Orwellians are killing babies and then putting them in the refrigerator then they are clearly heretics, and to be smote. However, if they kill and eat the baby while it is relatively fresh, then even more stringent issues need to be looked at, such as whether they clean the meat to make sure it is free of baby crap, and the question of what they do with the blood also emerges.

Barbarism though, is not wrong, but in many instances can be right and proper, and the only respectable choice.

1) God is defined as being totally awesome, and thus needs to be worshiped
2) Proofs of God are inconclusive, and he doesn't respond to e-mails.

Perhaps the reason for that is that He keeps a low profile, being bored by the public forms of worship like you described and prefers followers that simply agree with him about what Man should be like and how this world should be run.

I am not going to worship anyone with a bigger ego than that!

Yeah its a religion for an egomaniac.

Its also idolatry in Gods eyes.

In a way God can respond through emails and things we can see with our human eyes.

If god exists (and that is a stretch) you have no idea of what it is thinking assuming it thinks. If god exists it is totally Other and Foreign. And if god doesn't exist you are spouting nonsense.

God, being man's invention, is whatever Man invented it to be.

By the way, if anarchy is a requisite for this worship, then I have just the thing. I've been thinking of an anarchist lab as an alternative to the usual PI led lab - no leader, just an equal group of post-docs who all collaborate with each other to produce great works and obtain funding. Unfortunately at the moment the funding situations won't allow this type of thing. Still, I'm thinking of putting an advert in Nature for a like minded set of people (with a common scientific theme), and then we only have to find a university to house us, and some grant money from somewhere......

AG, i don't wanna be mean or anything, but do you even think that this thread is relevant to the politics, philosophy and religion forum? <.< Because i'm seriously beginning to doubt it. (I will admit that we take the term of "religion" a bit loosely here, but still)

I think the original split came with the division over how to eat kittens: I think they should be strangled and eaten raw, while AG drowns them in milk.

Nice avater, btw.
