Parody Religions

[MissDemeter]

I love a good parody religion. They always have great websites and GREAT arguments. Oh, it's fabulous.

I want to make a list of popular spoof/parody religions.

1. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (Pastafarianism)

2. Invisible Pink Unicorn

3. The Church Of Google

4. Frisbeetarianism

5. Jediism

6. Haloism

7. Raptor Jesus

If there are any more that you wish to add, feel free to suggest them. Also, discuss the merits of these (completely true) religions.

Well, since you've got the cult of the Jedi's on that list you should add Ninjaism and Piratism.
Ninjaism ftw! ninja  

[=X-Sparker + AquaKiller=]

The Church of Hogwarts (Harry-Potterianism/Wizardry)
Haloism
Starbucksity

 

[The Singular Enigma]

Ever heard of Raptor Jesus? He went extinct for your sins!

Well... those aren't religions. And piratism is an actual term. And jediism is a popular spoof religion in Australia.

Haloism, yes, one of my friends is haloist. (haloist?) But I've never heard of those other two. Could you possibly provide a link?

Well, I don't have any more religions to add, but as you might have guessed I'm an adherent to Pastafarianism, I've been touched by His noodly appendage, RAmen mrgreen

I actually just made them up.
However since you asked I searched about it...
Turns out that there's a tiny community for Hogwarts:
Church of Hogwarts
And there is no religion called Starbucksity. I made it up.
(There were fusses over a anti-religious quote on one of Starbuck's
cups, however: Anti-religious Starbucks?)

ooh, that thing about Starbucks is great. I think people are too thin-skinned. If I see a religious quote, I just sneer at it, and go "pfffft, god." There's no reason to complain that a company has quoted an atheist. That's unnecessary.

Well me and my atheistic friends just say the the invisible flying pink bed. XD

My friend back in high school had a nice little parody religion going called Moypism. It centered around "Moyp the Crab" who would sail around the world on the Ship of Fools (or drive the "Car of Fools" if on dry land) handing out cheese crackers and bagels (with your choice of topping) to those in need.

It's not much of a religion right now as it doesn't have it's own website nor does it have many converts (at last count there were only 5), but in 3000 years it will be the predominant religion of the world according to him.

Now if only I find the picture....

Have YOU been youched by his noodly appendage?

Rofl. I wanna be a pirate.  

[B1g_crunch]

And lets not forget the online church of tetris.  

[Daffodil the Destroyer]

There are people who really DO consider themselves to be Jedi. From what I understand, it's an officially recognized religion in some places, but it's supposed to be more of a philosophy than a religion.

To my knowledge, discordianism is another parody religion that seems to have been turned into an actual belief system.

I consider myself a Pastafarian-flavoured atheist. wink
