amongst us churches there has always been friction and at the end of the day it often boils down to what it's all about, why we're here, what's the point.
Some say we are here to suffer, others that we are here to have a good time, then there are some churches that feel we are only here to serve others or prove ourselves, that we are hopping on and off a wheel of life (gets a bit Disney about there).
Well I think I'm here to smile, that's my calling and, as I'm the only person in this church it is now official doctrine.
When I'm feeling good, I smile (that's easy)when I'm feeling crap, I smile (that's confusing) when I hurt others, yep (but not maliciously just in a pain lessening way) and when others hurt me, they get a smile (and that pisses them off).
I am not adverse to evangelizing either, I have a sign in the window of my vehicle telling\asking\advising people to smile because it's fun.
Yep, I like smiling, I like seeing smiles and I like the way people react when I smile. It is my calling and I feel high.

decline in religion and religious belief
It does seem that as we move well into the 21st century religion is become less popular and we, along with many other faiths and belief systems are hard at work trying to solve the problem so that we can again enjoy crowded places of worship and the wealth that this will bring (not that any of us are into wealth of course).
I am proud to be able to share with you that this tiny, insignificant, non state funded church has found the solution.
VIRGINITY!!!!!
or....lack of it
Religions have always liked virgins whether it's to give to the gods, to the priests or to charity virgins are, or were, hard currency. But now, where can you find a virgin, yes, ok there are some but the other thing was that the holy virgins had to be drop dead gorgeous. No wonder they ran out!
So, we have no eligible virgins, that's a problem but we of the terminally bemused are not to be defeated. We are a church for deity\ideals sake, we are above the law, we make our own moral code, we define the world we plan to inhabit.
I hear-by make an official proclamation, a new tenet of this church.
Virginity is a state of mind.
If you become a member of this church you may now renew your virginity AND THAT IS OFFICIAL. You have but to believe.
Trust me, I am a high priest, I know about virgins. I'm on my tenth virginity and it still works.

Welcome!
do come in and join in some mutual worship and feeling good.
here there is none of that crap about leaving your troubles on the doorstep or allowing some random deity to wave a magic wand.
If you bring troubles here they will be laid out, examined and dealt with the only deal is that you also bring your happiness because we have to have some balance.
If you have any questions about the church, it's members, the universe or life don't hesitate to ask :0)

Idle Idol
most churches and religions have some sort of deity or principle which is the focus for their existence. This church has no principles so does that mean it will have to have a deity?
It was suggested that I could set myself up as some sort of idol and graciously accept worship from the multitude but
a. I'm to idle to be an idol
b. I am the multitude around here and self praise is no praise.
now don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to being worshipped and idolised it's just that it doesn't seem fair.
I have decided that the church will have a principle and that principle will be that we are all worthy of praise. With that in mind I will aim to idolise all the members of the church but only if they do me too.

come one come all
personally, I am never first at anything but I will give most stuff a try.
it is a tenet of the church that one should face each challenge, attempt every leap and essay every adventure.
At least then you can have a good laugh over a pint about how stupid you lookd as you realised you had packed your parachute wrong or realised you couldn't swim faster than tht shark.

supporting sloth
you can't help but notice that people a re getting lazier and that it seems the lazier we get the more medicine steps in to keep us ticking over.
A couple of generations back people worked hard and died younger.
Just think, if we worked as hard as our grandparents and had today's medical support what sort of ages would we be attaining.
So, the church advocates getting off your lazy ass and doing something.
Ditch a couple of power hungry labour saving devices and work up a sweat

Today I learned about polyamory
in an article about an open marriage. The interviewee said that they weren't swingers who exchange partners for purely sexual reasons but that she was in fact polyamorous meaning that she had two partners because she truly loved them both.
Here at the church we do not have an opinion on polyamory but we due encourage all members to be polyannerous in that we aim for sickeningly happy, positive,optomistic attitudes to a wide range of situations.
