The Style Invitational, which honors its winners with the honorific "Loser," recently asked for new religions. My contributions, none of which made it into print, were:
Funyoumeantalism -- The belief that the road to heaven is paved with practical jokes. Those who see spiritual gain from attempted humor, even if misunderstood or not funny.
Solispsism -- The belieth that only the thelf exiths in the Univerth.
Awetism -- Belief system rooted in natural mysticism.
Ahhhtism -- The belief that pleasure is the basis of all goodness.
Pollism = System of dynamic beliefs derived from discerning the majority or prevailing beliefs of others.
Canservutism = radical notion that government consists of servants of the people.
Apothecarianism -- the belief that drugs are the way to salvation.
Pageanism -- the belief that salvation is attained through reading or writing voluminous scholarly works (espoused mainly by erudite academics).
