Hello Bill, nice to meet you



LOL! But hey, buy the beer, you'll get more members

Hello Pete, Pleased to meet you as well !

While I do not hold meetings, I have found individuals with very similar beliefs as I, and that is troubling ! Now I am no longer unique !

Just think aboult all the decisions that I would need to make as the leader of a new religion. I might have to translate my own Bible, set up accurate dates for my religious holidays, and the list goes on and on... I think that I will just keep my congregation small, me

But it has been surprising to find others that have similar beliefs as I ?

Bill

you should read Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. You'd pick up all the pointers you need, and have a few hundred good laughs to boot. It's a brilliant book by a brilliant man.
