Huffington Post: "Well now you can be the next Jesus, the next Buddha, or even the next L. Ron Hubbard. Sign up now to create-your-own religion. You name it, write down the beliefs, rituals, and holidays. We will then post the best submissions on our site and allow you to compete for followers."
This "competition" is a good example of yet another attempt to minimize religion in people's lives except for the implicit religion of self. Whoever had this idea, should have rethought it before putting it out there. Or perhaps they did rethink it and the motivation is just as nefarious as we think. Imagine no religion, aka John Lennon, by making up phony religions. Come to think of it, there are a bunch of phony religions. Only one religion can be true since, contrary to popular belief, they all say different things ie they do not all all lead to the same god.
Bottom line: Do not minimize religion by playing games. The true religion, Christianity, was founded by men throughout the ages that heard directly from our Creator. The rest heard from other-worldly sources as well. However, they were not so godly.
