SynopsisYes, world domination and eternal adoration can be yours "The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." --Attributed to L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology Wouldn't you like to control countless worshippers with a single word? To call forth bountiful offerings of gold and silver? Wouldn't you love to make your acolytes bow in awe of your greatness? Starting a new religion can be fun and profitable. You'll laugh along with Philip Athans (founder, leader, and sole member of the Church of Phil), as he shows you how to: Gather the flock and keep 'em coming back for more Organize mysterious and complex rituals Interrogate (or just ridicule) the hell out of nonbelievers Recruit celebrity spokespeople, from Tom Cruise to Uma Thurman If you've ever felt the need to sacrifice on an altar beneath a blood-red moon, or just make Friday a holy day (three-day weekend, anyone?), this is the only sacred creed you need. Live long and prosper., Starting your own religion can be an exciting road to fun and profit. You may need the following, easily found around the house: a god (or gods); a theology; some rituals; and, holy objects (Anything can be sacred if you make up a good story about it). This title deals with this topic., Have you ever wanted to sway millions of people and have them hang on your every word? Compile books filled with your slightest utterances and sell them around the globe? Persuade people to pour out their life savings to worship the deity of your choice - or even you? Starting your own religion can be an exciting road to fun and profit. You'll need the following, easily found around the house: A god (or gods) A theology (This can range from eternal salvation to earthly rewards - always popular - to the fiery apocalyptic collapse of the universe) Some rituals (Animal sacrifice is frowned on - your best bet is probably to go with some combination of incense, alcohol, and sacred crackers) And, holy objects (Anything can be sacred if you make up a good story about it). So now it's time to sound the call for followers, and go forth to cast your bread upon the waters. AUTHOR: Philip Athans is the New York Times best-selling author of Annihilation and twelve other fantasy, science fiction, horror, and non-fiction books. SELLING POINTS: With only 21 major religions in the world and hundreds of variations, there is still plenty of room for a few more crazy doctrines In 2006, two self-proclaimed Jedi Knights requested the United Nations recognize their faith as an official religion; as of 2001, more than 400,00 people practiced the Jedi "faith". If these people can get others to believe in "the force", readers' possibilities are limitless with this book, Yes, world domination and eternal adoration can be yours!
