from the ABC set Idea For A New Religion

IMMUNIZATION

1) Every tree is a bough upon the Earth and every Earth, a bough upon the stars. Every spider that spins a web is a thread within a greater web. Every living thing; every man and woman and child is a sacred cell within the sacred anatomy of God, the living universe.

2) As God is sacred, thus all that is a part of God is also sacred. Every living thing; every man, woman and child is God. Treat all things with reverence and be kind to all, for every act of kindness is an offering to God.

3) The good of all is the will of God. As it is the function of a cell to serve the body, so it is the purpose of every person to serve the greater good. As my hand moves to obey my will, so should I move to obey the will of God.

4) All bodies are a part of one great body and all souls, a part of one great soul. The self is a necessary illusion; an imaginary cell wall that keeps us divided; a dream that fades when we die and our flesh is united with the earth and our soul becomes one with God who is all heaven.

5) Sickness afflicts all bodies, wether mortal or divine. Fear and greed are a sickness that is spread by the demons that feed upon the sufferings of man. Demons are psychic parasites that live within a higher dimension. They cripple the world with division, turning neighbour against neighbour and nation against nation because they
fear the power of a united world. Faith is a form of immunity and religion, a tool for reuniting, healing and motivating the broken and severed limbs of God.

6) As there are demons, there are also angels; divine symbiants who feed upon the pleasure and the joy of man and thus seek to spread joy and pleasure and to protect all of humankind.

Thanks, Jenny. I think I would have been embarassed to post this anywhere else, but ABCtales is the one place I know where you can post an idea for a new religion and not get ridiculed or ripped to pieces
because the community here is so friendly.

Sounds like a good religion to me. Being the sort of person who struggles to find a religion that fits in with my innate instinctive beliefs this makes more sense than some official religions. The poem is philosophical yet blunt and honest, which I always appreciate.

Thank you, LTBurbery.

The only time that I have ever seen genuine miracles occur is when people have united behind a common goal with all of their heart and so I think that, if God is anywhere, it is in the people united as one.
