Extreme 'Yogic flying' demonstration before an audience of invited skeptics.
Guys in my efforts towards understanding the various paths open to Gonzo Religionists, I am constructing an article on my understanding of religion. I am not a professional academic, so I welcome your corrections/additions.

Lobsters Guide to Religions
The first religion was invented by the Pharaohs and was called Paganism, which means 'peasants religion'. If you were a Pharaoh you were automatically Pagan. Everyone else's religion was Judaism and judaists had to build big graves for the Pharoahs. These tombs were called pyramids, which is Incan for Ziggurat.
Famous Pharoahs include: 'The Mummy', Tutting Carmoonie and the Queen of Sheba.
When the Pharoahs all died, due to marrying their sisters, brothers and cats, Judaism became the state religion and was set in stone by Moses. Everyone was considered Jewish at this time and Adam became the first Rabbi along with his first and second wives Lilith and Eve. Neither were his sisters, though Eve was related.
Famous Jews are: the merchant of Venice, Oy veh and 'The Talmud'.
After Judaism came Hinduism, which was invented in the Himalayas about the time dinosaurs became popular. Hindus believe the world was created by an elephant called Harry Krishna aka 'Ganesh'. They are known for eating currys, river bathing and owning holy cattle.
Famous Hindus include: Gandhi the inventor of India, 'Yeti', George Harrison, the Dalai Lama and Nellie the Elephant.
After Hinduism came Buddhism which was invented by a reincarnation of the Buddha, who invented breathing. The Buddha had an all male harem known as 'the Sang-ha', who still wear saris to this day. The main belief in Buddhism is atheism and spiritual vegetarianism.
Famous Buddhists include: Hollywood, Tina Turner, Steve Jobs and The Prince of Goatama.
After Buddhism we have the emergence of modern religions, such as Christianity, Islamism, Mormonism and Capitalism. All of these are based on the first book known as the Bible, which tells the history of religion and explains the prophecies of Nostradamus and science. Modern religion is now partly owned by the Feemasons, the Vatican and 'the conspiracy theorists'.
After the modern religions came New Ageism, created by a global effort to ensure religion becomes more popular. Their main beliefs are 'Oprah', crystals, extreme yoga and the Flying Spaghetti monster.
Famous New Agers include: Richard Dawkins, Walt Disney, Aleister Crowley, Sting, Deepfried Chopra, Madonna and the music industry.

That has to be the most sexist thing I've encountered in weeks and this time it came from a woman.
Nice job Mary Anne. Well done.
Wicca is the only religion invented by women, probably by Lilith, the first Lesbian. It started with the craft of wicker basket making, just as Freemasonry started with laying brick. Men are allowed to be Wicced and are treated as theoretically equal but different. In Buddhism women invented Wicca tantricism, so they would not have to enter monasteries. In Europe they were burned alive for their own good as a special service by 'the Female Pope'.
Other forms of Wicca include: Santeria/voodoo, Hinduism and Feminism.
Famous wiccanists are all mythological and include: Buffy, Emma Watson, Lucifer (aka Venus), Kwan Yin, Richard Gere (not a Buddhist as is commonly thought) and Ananda.
I am glad my researches are being treated with the seriousness they deserve. I hope no one is offended by my empirical and impartial scholasticism.
I extend my most humble gratitude for your posting of the results of your empiricial and impartial scholastic enquiry. The wise thoughts you post in this thread are most enlightening and engaging from an intellectual standpoint.
With utmost respect, I offer you my felicitations and hope this message finds you in the very best of mental, physical and spiritual health.
I beg to remain your most humble and obedient servant,

Are clothes integral to professing religion? If so, why are those who wear clothes but do not profess a religion not considered religious as well? And if not, can I use my Walmart coupons, save a couple of bucks, and still have a rootin' tootin' god as my savior?
With many thanks for your profound counsel....
Well, I learned a lot from it. Plan on a wise time to go to bed and stick by it. Don't ever go past it more than 25 hrs! :rockon:
You set yourself up on this and I still love you anyhow because you don't give a hare's hair what anybody thinks of you. You are "out there" beyond most mortals, I suspect.

In early religion, nudism was legal. However due to a misunderstanding with a snake and a tree, it became immoral and a little frightening for some, in the vegetable section of supermarkets. As people became more institutionally religious, they wore uniforms and interesting hats. Most people are naked under their clothes or sadhu ashes. As we are on a Buddhist forum, it might be of interest that one of the meanings of Tantra is 'thread'. Oh the yarns they spin, the hats they wear.
Women were encouraged to go naked in some forms of wiccary, at the instigation of a man, or obsessively hijabbed to protect men.
On the question of fish, cod is a symbol of Christ, the well known nephew of ultimate deity and in Buddhism of the awakened as they have no eyelids. Eyes are open. I myself worship sardine cans for their contents.
I would like to thank everyone contributing to this scholarly and informative debate. I may soon have enough material to write my article . . .
Lobster, I adore You!
I jest ken Not stop l;aughing, full stop.
I feel we have gone a little off the empirical track, so it might be time to examine the Love based religions:
The Love Religions were invented in the 1960's by the hippies, which included Opera Winfrey, The Beatles, Neil Armstrong (the first man to moon) and Steve Jobs (also known as the wizard of Woz). They invented the phrase 'God Is, Luv' and became the first Western Buddhists since the Greeks. Many lived in trees or thought they were trees. To capitalise on these new religions, India exported its mentally deluded hordes to help with the development. These would become the 'Gurus' and eventually the 'Who Gnu'. As the Love religions and their Gnu Gurus became institutionalised, some key truths emerged:
1. Religion is sexy
2. Love promotion and remember
3. Tune out, drop in, turn up (Professor Timmy Leery)
4. Plant Power

For example enclosed is an image I took yesterday of Bertrand Russell's 'Flying Teapot'. I have also enclosed an image from the same location of HH Highly Sir Lassy with a roll of cannelloni, I and I, who some say was the original Pastafarian. Others dispute the Cannelloni theory and maintain he is holding a chillum.
