I've decided to start a new religion; Bubism. Instead of calling each other brother or sister as in some religions, Bubism has Bubs and Babes. The official greeting is “Howdy Bub, or Howdy Babe.”
The theology is simple. Maybe there is a God, and maybe there isn't. Whatever: for all practical purposes, it doesn't matter. If there is a God, he she or it doesn't need us constantly proclaiming how great he she or it is or begging for things. It knows it's great and doesn't answer prayers any better than what you could expect by pure chance. It's obvious that it doesn't really have an eye on the sparrow or love all the little children like the songs claim.
Bubism doesn't claim that there is an after life. If there is, fine. If there isn't, well no amount of hail Marys is going make any difference. Hell is some BS that was made up to scare people. Same with the Devil.
Our doctrine is simple: Don't be an Ass. If you treat others with honesty and respect, they will most likely treat you the same way, and every one will be happy. Threats of damnation are unnecessary. You can eat, drink, or do anything you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
There are no spiritual leaders in Bubism. There is no secret knowledge or special book. You are free to think for yourself and make your own choices. And, no money is wasted of fancy buildings or monuments. Bubism doesn't ask for tax exemptions. It doesn't have anything to tax. There are no special religious days. Every day is special. Holidays are strictly for fun or to honor the memory of people who deserve it. Bubists can get together any time or place they wish.
Philanthropy is fine, but nobody is going to bug you about it. Give or do whatever makes you feel good. We won't ask you for money.
Bubists do not believe in trying to convert people. If you like your present religion, we're happy for you as long as you don't try to force it on others. Different strokes for different folks.
Bubism should not be confused with Buddhism. Similarities are totally coincidental. You don't have to sit cross legged and mumble OM over and over unless you want to.
