high school, i founded my own religion ~ the holy church of
unified borkism. it started during a discussion walking back
from gym class with a friend; i declared i wanted to found a
religion so i could donate all my worldly possessions and
income to it (for tax purposes). he asked what my religion
would be based on, and the first thing that came to mind was
the swedish chef (bork bork bork).

i took the idea and ran with it. i registered a
domain name; built a web site. printed up flyers and
handed them out to people at school. had a great time
declaring anyone who wanted to be in to be bishops, popes,
whatever. we only had one "official jesus" but there were
some unofficial ones too, and multiple popes.

years later, classmates found me on facebook to let me know
borkism had begun to show up in textbooks about "alternative
religions":

A slightly more generous assessment is offered by David
Chidester in his pioneering academic study of invented
religions, alternative spiritualities and secular phenomena
that have acquired religions overtones, such as Coca Cola,
rock 'n' roll, and baseball. He acknowledges the dilemma
that the Discordian challenge presents to the scholar of
religion; if Discordianism is not a 'real religion', what
type of criteria might be employed to validate a reputable
definition of 'real religion'? He identifies the Church of
the SubGenius with other Discordian offshoots (including the
Illuminated Knights of Otis and the 'Holy Church of Unified
Borksm, devoted to the Swedish "Muppet chef extroadinaire",
the Borkian lord an savior')"

LAZY_TITLE

it is strange to see stuff i wrote in high school quoted by
someone who is quoting someone else who quoted me; my stupid
joke of a religion is in multiple books and papers now.
irony is, i hadn't even heard of discordianism at the time!

bottom line: if you want to be pope, just declare yourself
pope

can god write a rock so heavy, even He cannot play
it?


not sure if i came up with that before or after borkism, but
it was one of my favorite lines to use on the street
preachers trying to convert people during lunch. you could
see them prepping an answer for a debate question they'd
already heard (and refuted) a dozen times... then, it would
register that this was something else, something weirder.
the expression on their face would change; you could
literally see the gears grind to a halt, for a moment.

then, usually, they'd laugh, if they were alright. some of
'em weren't, and were all, "son, you think this is a
joke? you're going to hell!
"

"i can't go to hell," i'd reply. "i'm the pope of the holy
church of unified borkism."

then on to some shades of purple that warrant a mention in
the colors thred

anyways, to answer the OP, to be the catholic pope,
you need to all of those people on board, including the
purple-skulled old crabs who descend into "you're going to
hell" as soon as the discussion is no longer on their terms.
as such, i'd recommend you give up now (for the sake of both
sides).

have you read the principia discordia man? i was really into it a
while back, my copy is full of scribbled notes and arcane
doodles now. i used to turn it upside down and go into a
weird trance where i'd recite it in song form. nutty schizo
biz. discordianism is probably the only religion i still
have any kind of allegiance to though, however tenuous

only seen bits of it. the malacylpse the younger screed
about capital-t truth, little-t truth, well, someone posted
it here, i dunno, 2014? that really resonated with me. i
really ought to sit down and read it

in a sense, i already have the flavor, though. read a great
number of r. a. wilson's books.

“Many spoke of an unspoken code of the “closet”, with
one rule of thumb being that the more homophobic a cleric
was, the more likely he was to be gay.” reminds me of
someone here who’s not fond of gay muppets.

seems like the vatican is having gay orgies all day! count
me in!

Pope Francis Gets Stuck For 25 Minutes.

The Vatican did not clarify whether the pope was alone in
the malfunctioning elevator, or if any of his aides were by
his side when Francis was stuck (inside of them [in the
elevator])

The Pope Walks Into An Elevator. He Gets Stuck For 25
Minutes. The Pope Walks Into An Elevator. He Gets Stuck For
25 Minutes. The Pope Walks Into An Elevator. He Gets Stuck
For 25 Minutes.

"Pope Francis Gets Stuck In An Elevator For 25 Minutes"
sounds like a good name for an EP on bandcramp
