Some people have actually succeeded in this. One guy agreed to be paid for a pastor to take him out to lunch and have a "philosophical debate". But I think you have to sound sincere about it.


If certain religious groups, such as Christians actually believed in a eternal hell with extreme pain they would be much more focused on saving others.

Imagine if you saw a stranger trapped under a car, flesh being slowly burned away by the flames and would surely suffer and die without help. Nearly any sain person would rush to their aid as it makes us sick to see others in that condition.


But religious who pretend in these "punishments" don't really believe it, as much as they only feel a smug satisfaction of special treatment by a omnipotent being upon death.

I bid 0.0001 in genuine non-negative non-Discordian bitcoins, provided you can answer the following questions:

1. I never had any confession before. My soul is pure.

Do you have any outstanding soul debts, including any tulpas, thoughtforms, Horcruxes, or negative karma from previous lives/sockpuppets?

2. I did not participate in any christian crusades, islamic hunt for journalists, or the like

No experience necessary, will train the right person.

3. I'm a scientist and believe in big bang and the great LHC. So it is not possible to make me a convert by arguments.

As long as I don't ask what you believe, you exist in a state of simultaneous salvation and damnation.

4. I wear a black belt in Karaoke. In some areas i'm a fearsome karaoke-master.

Excellent. My team is still upset about losing that fiddle contest.

So 0.3 Btc is the highest bid. If no higher bid goes in until the next 6 Hours, im going to be discordian!

Join my religion. Join The Church of Eris and I will not give you 0.3 BTC*.
*Also no BTC will be paid if the person dosn't join Discordianism

So you got scammed. You join "Discordianism" (or not), but still no money will be paid. Cheesy

Most religions come with a few good stories. Tell us about your mesiah and the various adventures he went through on his way to being martyed(or come up with something more original).
Like aliens! Scientology became famous with aliens!

It's time for a Holy War!


It was the year of fire…
…the year of destruction…
…the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth…
…the year of great sadness…
…the year of pain…
…and a year of joy.
It was… a new age.
It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.
The year is 2012.
The place, Bitcointalk.org.

Hi folks,

why bother what to do with your bitcoins?
Why invest it in high risk funds serving criminals or for the worse, guys with financial expertise?

You can make a change!
Buy my religion and invest in salvation of my soul.

Currently i'm not believing in god. The highest bidder wins this religious race and can change my belief.

Dank, is that you? Smiley

Michael?

And if you don't win the bid for OP's religion, YOU'RE IN LUCK!!! I will sell my religion for half the price of the winning bid!!!

I know, I know, amazing deal...

You're welcome.

I think my religion is worth very much (hence worth more than yours!)

Why is that so?
1. I never had any confession before. My soul is pure.
2. I did not participate in any christian crusades, islamic hunt for journalists, or the like
3. I'm a scientist and believe in big bang and the great LHC. So it is not possible to make me a convert by arguments.
4. I wear a black belt in Karaoke. In some areas i'm a fearsome karaoke-master.

Another one?

I want you to join the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.

As you will have no need for money at that point, please transfer any BTC you currently own into my account shown below.

Please also provide me with list of any and all amounts of national currencies you have posession of, so we can determine the best way to transition them into my ownership.
