This is a new religion that me and a freind came up with the basic tennets for.

1. We are all on an eternal quest for the prize, maybe..

2. There are many ways to reach the prize...probably, including; spiritual, mental and chemical.

3. The prize is unknown, yet it is known, could be great, or small, could be physical or metaphorical, maybe.

4. We will only understand the true meaning of the prize after physical death, we think.

5. We could win the prize whilst we are still alive maybe.

6. We could also lose the prize probably.

7. Any moral values connected with this religion barring "the one general guideline" are those of the person, and not associated with Prizism in any way, so we do not accept murderers or rapists or whatnot into our religion.

Anyway if you join there is a chance you will be afforded the rank of prophet, and you will be expected to wear some sort of special robe if this occurs.

Apply to join in this thread.

Honestly. I think this may be one of the most .... Beautiful springs to mind ,yet I want another word.... Most beautiful religions ever...

Say ,wanna bind it with the religion of the Rower/Fisherman... Despite the storms ,despite being tossed aroun ,he stays up right... and always fishes for a bigger prize...

In other words ,hell yeah ,I'm in.

i think i will stick with buddhism but great idea though

Cool, if we can get enough people we can make it official, and create lots of holy days when we don't want to work.

Also, I shall consider your input and discuss it with my co-founder.

Oh, on another note, we are currently engaged in a most holy Jihad against the heretic scum; "The Church of Scientology".

This means that if a member or affiliate of said organisation hassles you in any way, all able-bodied Prizists in the vicinity are obliged to bestow upon the heathen the most righteous "punishment of ages".

This terrifying punishment is actually reserved for any non-prizists (or heathen scum, as they are now known) who hassle you and is so frightening that the mere mention of what it consists of in detail will make you piss yourself.

So I can't just keep it to myself: The heathen is to be forcibly subdued, but not by excessively violent means, then they are to be slapped by leather gloves, for ten minutes, WITH NO TOILET BREAKS!!

^^^ Couldn't we just ,I dunno ,sing and drink coco around a camp fire? Or ,maybe, play a game of snap ... Maybe talk out our differances... Seduce them with the Prize?

No, we try and seduce them with the prize first, then punish the heathens.

This religion is like Bhuddism in a way, in Bhuddism the prize is Nirvana

In Christianity the Prize is Heaven attained through accepting and believing in Jesus and his sacrifice.

In Islam the Prize is Paradise through doing good deeds and worshipping God.

Most religions are about attaining a prize, but they often give a method to attain the prize.

How dare you compare our most sacred beliefs to those pagan infidels?! Ye shall suffer the righteous wrath of a Prisist jihad!!

k. Little Known Factoid also:

Jihad is the arabic word meaning "to strive" and it is done, according to the Qur'an, but following the Qur'an, doing good deeds, praying etc: most people take it as meaning "Holy War".

Organisations, people and countries we are currently engaged in Jihad against:

1. Our arch-nemesis, the Church of Scientology. Because Tom Cruise is a sweaty scrat-end, and we'll take anti-depressants if we want, you bastards.

2. The Coca-Cola corporation; This blasphemous entity belittles the holy name of the sacred liquid, Barrs Irn-Bru, and must be stopped in its heretical ways.

3. The popular UK television show, Big Brother. This show stands for everything which is wrong with society today and represents an absolute failure in original thought.

4. The Republic of Benin. We didn't want sub-saharan Africa to feel left out, so a Jihad was called for. If you read this and you're from Benin, YOU ARE A HERETIC!!! APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP SOMEWHERE ELSE IMMEDIATELY!!

5. Religious fundamentalism outside of Prisism. Just because.

6.The Church of the flying spagetti monster. Those bastards make a mockery of all we stand for, with their "noodly appendages", and their pirate graphs, damn them and damn the fact that they have more members.

7. Emos. Again, just because.

8.Plain digestive biscuits. These biscuits make a mockery of all that is holy, their blasphemy extends not only through not tasting very nice, BUT THEY GO ALL SOGGY AND RUBBISH IF YOU DIP THEM IN A NICE HOT DRINK!!! Truly their name is forever cursed and we can be certain that there will be no plain digestives in the prize. Chocolate digestives, however, are truly a holy and blessed snack which our church wholeheartedly embraces.

9. The emerging cult of Bradstafárian; this person (we assume he is working alone) has singlehandedly regurgitated an idea that was not his own and changed it from what is good and noble, into what amounts to little more than childish slander and a hideous evil cult. Soon he will repent in his blasphemy and beg forgiveness as he suffers the punishment of ages!!

That's it for now, but rest assured this list will be updated, the fight against heathenry and blasphemy must be taken worldwide, we will not rest until we are safe to practice our divine beliefs without being sacrificed to some god we don't believe in by some idolater.

Edit, Forgot our main enemy.

I would join, but I love Coca-Cola, and am very fond of His Noodly Appendage.

I respect you guys, though. Keep fighting for the prize!

Uh. Wrong, Jihad is a reference to struggle against evil.... Wouldn't expect you to have known that though.

LOL, i like how you end almost all of your points with probably and maybe.

The whole point is that we don't know what the prize is or when we get it, it would be dishonest to claim otherwise, but since we don't know what it is we can assume that it will probably be better than all the other religions, because the mystery prize usually is.

Anyway you're only allowed to join now if once you have, you get really blitzed to celebrate. So come on in, get drunk, get stoned, do what must be done.

No, you don't get the robes unless you follow Prizism. Also it's not neccessarily about the prize, although the prize is a fundamental concept, it's more about thinking about the prize philosophically whilst in an altered state of consciousness, it is how our holy text is to be written.

Edit- I feel I need to elaborate, all of the tennets are designed to make you contemplate, for the only truth is that they may not be true, and number four which others thought describes an afterlife could be completely untrue, the prize could be won in life just as the prize could be complete oblivion and only applicable after death, the prize could be great or small, one or many, the prize is the ultimate enigma.

so you do say that there's an afterlife, so again promissing something that isn't there.

but if I'm getting this right, the only thing Prizism offers is...robes?

quote:Originally posted by sybil:

No, we don't say that there is an afterlife, we say that there is a possibility that there could be an afterlife, but since we don't know if there is or not, it's not worth concerning yourself with too greatly, the focus should be the prize, not death. And for your last question the answer is yes, and maybe no, because people might enjoy trying to think about the teachings of Prizism, then our goal would truly be accomplished.

Edit- By the way, you also have to earn those robes, and you can't be elevated to the rank of prophet unless you own a pocket watch, there is no one reason for this, we just thought a bit of tradition would be cool.



[This message has been edited by jb_mcbean (edited 07-11-2006).]

There would be so much less conflict in the world if more religions would have incorporated maybe and probably more into there holy texts like you have.

God made the world in 6 days...maybe

There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the messenger of Allah...maybe

God sent his only begotten son down to earth for your sins...maybe

Every thing Moses said was true...maybe

It would really help people get along

like I said, your religion is the same as any other religion, full of maybe, sometimes and whatever you want as long as you join my religion.

Cause everything you say you go like "yes...and maybe no, we don't deny it, we'll see when it come" you arn't offering the people anything exept for robes.(which IMO is more then any real religion will ever offer)

Yes but the prize doesn't neccessarily arrive at death, it could be a taco that you bought earlier today for all I know, what sets us apart is we don't claim to know and don't make any promises. And no we don't really care about other religions or atheists or that lot except scientology and fundamentalists.

Edit- I sounded so self-righteous here, I'm sorry. But still prizism FTW!!

[This message has been edited by jb_mcbean (edited 07-11-2006).]

State the color and fabric of said Robe and I might reconsider.

Also if I could be High Priestess... that would rock. Thanks.

Prizism seems pretty cool, although the name doesn't roll of the tongue very well. If Prizism actually got recognition as a registered religion, that'd be fucking cool. I would devote my life to spreading the word.... maybe.

OR we could just thik about it .... Religion and mythology Gives their own guidance and answers. It doesn't give you your own answers until you look for them...

... For example ,It's possible to look at a peome and appreciate how it sounds nice. But you can then look into that poem ,disect it ,look at word choice ,rhyming etc. And regardless of whether this is true ,you put your own take on it ....



Shit ... what was I trying make a point of?

In anycase, Can I also become a High Priest?

I like that term.... makes me feel righteous.

Edit- Also High Priestess is one rank below prophet, but yeah why not, I dub thee a high priestess, though it won't be as easy becoming a prophet.

Priest robes may have to be a different colour from prophet robes to provide distinction, and if you become an elder prophet we'll add in some sort of bonus. JesuitArtiste I also dub thee a high priest of Prizism.

Everyday you seem so close to the prize, but then let it slip through your grasp, Abrahim. You must focus not on the problems of life, treat the bad as a joke, and take life as it comes, you will be happier, and who knows, you may one day win the prize.

Let me tell you a story.... There was a man who lived in a small cabin off in the mountains. He had a dog, and they hunted every couple days for meat. One day a mountain lion found the little group and charged the man, seeking to make a meal out of him. The dog jumped in the way and bared his teeth, ready to defend his master. The mountain lion killed the dog and the man.

i know, loyalty till death

Yay, we have a moral code! Now the other religions won't mock us anymore. It shalt be known as "the one try and use this as a general rule but no sweat if you can't."

I feel that a lot of the holy writings must be kept personal. It makes our religion slightly unique, but the true base of the holy writings will be written only by the elder prophets, a rank which all of you may one day reach. copies of this writing will be made available on this thread as soon as it is ready.

Anyway, it is up to you to find the beer mats and it is up to you to write most of the stuff, as it is up to you to find the influence and inspiration to expand on what has been written.

Excellent, fellow traveller, you are on the path to the prize.

There is no dogma, there is only quest for the prize. May each individual attain his/her prize through whatever means available to him/her. Any man who hinders your progress to the prize will not recieve his/her prize, probably. As the prize is the most coveted of all human rewards, this is devastating.. maybe.

-Perhaps something like that could be included into the holy text as the only source for a 'moral code' in the religion? Feel free to edit it, jb.

just one thing, i would much like to become a prophet, but on how to do so you have not made completely clear. this i believe is a necessity, or perhaps it is just that i dont like to not know where im headed, either way, could you please fill me in on the details so i can decide whether i will continue my quest on becoming a prophet, or to just settle down and well, not become a prophet

Just now, me and the co-founder have discussed it, and the way to reach prophethood seems to be to do something that makes everyone think; "wow, that's hardcore."

well i can do that, i infact have already begun, i shall become a prophet... hopefully

but then what are you jb? you must be better than a prophet, or rather highr in rank

Me and the co-founder are both elder prophets, but I think we decided that anyone can reach that rank too, there's no rank above elder prophet.

I'll join, but only if I can be the High Inquisitor and cause pain and suffering to others for my own amusement (as well as commanding everyone except the Elder Prophets and eventually corrupting the Church doctrine and assassinating the Elder Prophets and taking their places).

For this is my Prize. I'm almost positive.

Edit: also, part of my prize is casual sex with all young and female Prizists. I know for sure this is part of my Prize. I'll tell you how when I'm done corrupting and sexing and all.

^^^^^ you shall never have sex with me, ahahaha, but i am not getting in your way of getting your prize, i am just not partaking in your quest (loop holes are the greatest) and so, i continue on my quest to become a prophet, and hopefully later becoming an elder prophet

Sorry son, high inquisitor is just the second highest rank on the Prizist Jihad battlefield, anywhere else, the prophets and priests are required to steer the purging of heretics in the right direction.

Soldiers of Prizism, I address thee as an equal comrade. There are those who doubt us, there are those who would stand to see us fall, those who would brand us as hypocrites and a dangerous cult.

Now the dogs of war are baying for the blood of these heretic unbelievers, the drums of battle grow steadily louder. It is time for Prizism to rise from the ashes of Christianity's ruin. It is time that we expand our holy Jihad campaign and fight the oppressors who seek to strike us down, to damage our liberty and our religious right.

I say it is time that we strike back, strike back with all of the overwhelming force of the Prizist jihad, and we shall sweep the heathen animals under the glorious flood of our power!

Rise up, fellow travellers, for we have chosen a difficult path, but concentrate on the prize, and we shall not falter or fail. We must not let any deed against Prizism go unpunished, and so, Holy Jihad will be declared against the heathen religious right in america, those soulless inhabitants of the area known as "the bible belt", these heretic evangelist scum will feel our wrath. Spare no heathen the punishment of ages, it must be employed without mercy or feeling, for know this, these, our vile enemies, seek to destroy us, to destroy the legacy of what has been written.

With eternal focus on the prize and the beer mats of our scriptures kept safe we shall prevail, let us march onwards!

TO VICTORY!

TO JUSTICE!

No, we'll begin with a fast armoured cavalry raid, then we'll quickly retreat to some harsh terrain and engage in a ferocious guerilla war.

Once we've won that we can focus on GLOBAL DOMINATION!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHA!!!

MUAH HA HA HA HA

i am on the inside

wow, no ones posted in a while, well anyways, i would just like to say that the cofounder appointed me to be a prophet, all you less than me, bow down and polish my shoes, for they really deserve to be polished, and for the elder prophets, i shall polish your shoes, if that be your command

Aye? when did you get made a prophet? Congradulations, though, to celebrate you must dance and be merry.

^^^ i was made a prophet like a week ago, but i've been at my dads and there's no internet there, im getting it soon though. and yes, i shall dance and be merry

I thought I said it already...

Aft3r ImaGe aproves of this thread.



The prize is truth, and the pure extacy of relizing the truth.

The goal of the religion is to strive to relize the truth, through any means the religous person chooses, such as learning raw knowledge, philosophy, experimenting with chemicals, sex, or any other means by which one thinks they will achive truth.

No one can force someone to take a certain path to truth.

No one can force someone NOT to take a certain path to truth.



Thats just what I'd think it to be and it is open to debate, and honestly I'd somewhat call it my religion.

In the words of Albert Einstein:

"I want to know god's thoughts, everything else are just details."

This thread, as odd a concept as it suggests, has helped me put into words the curiosity and passion that has captivated thousands of amazing thinkers before me.

I encourage anyone else to enbrace this philosophy, or religion if you consider it such.

Perhaps... Sainthood, hmm...

Me and the co-founder shall discuss these matters further, but for now such a title is non-existent.

I don't think anyone would join the religion if you were the prize.

Okay. Then I want my robe back.

i am not a prizist but i am a supporter can i have a robe?

I am poor, so i plan on making my own robe... please tell me exactly what type of green it should be, or will it be like a buddhist monk robe with different shades?

i am deeply sorry to announce this, but i can no longer partake in prizism, although i do greatly believe that the teachings are fabulous, but having been a buddhist my whole life i feel i must revert back to my old way of thinking... it has been a pleasure partaking in this religion, and i shall continue to spread the word so that others may find inner peace in the teachings

once again, i am deeply sorry

Our religion has lost a prophet. I don't even know what to say. Let's make up some apocryphal story so some good may come of this.

Yeah but you know that if a Jihad happened we would just use the the thermo-nuclear prize. Anyway, Buddhism will not suffer our wrath, we must concentrate on the task at hand, and defeat first our true enemies, then we can stab all the friendly religions in the back when they least expect it. MUHAHAHAHA!!!
