I hereby found the UV Cult of the Goat
« on: August 14, 2007, 11:00:29 PM »
Ever since my readings on the topic of George Bataille and his secretive Acephale cult (and critical art magazine on Nietzsche!), I have wanted to be a genuine deluded mystic.  To this end, I hereby found the UV Cult of the Goat open to all who profess a wide range of vague beliefs in a somewhat corporeal, not-quite-human Goat-like God-being (of nondescript gender, race and dietary affiliation).

Another thread on this board has suggested the legendary Shub-Niggurath as a possible fountainhead of the Goat Cult Pantheon, but TomCo did note his apparent weakness to axes (and dammit if I found a cult with weak, Goat-God monsters).

Are there any plausible suggestions for a deity?

Pan?


Does this mean we get to eat lamb or not?

You'll never convert me from the wonder that is the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Pft, just read the first rule of the cult:

Rule #1: You will immediately convert to this cult

Having read that, we welcome you to the cult, convert.

Count me in! What could possibly go wrong with a goat-worshiping cult?

Also, for rule no. 2, I suggest:

Rule #2: You do not talk about Fight Club.

It's a great movie and all, but we've all seen it and there is no reason to keep analyzing it. Also, if there are people, that haven't seen it yet, there no reason to ruin the ending.

She's a man! Uhhh...no that wasn't it.
He's Luke's father!  Damn, that wasn't it either.
He's really dead and only the boy sees him!  Can't be that one.
Rosebud was a sled!  Yeah, that's it!

I saw the Spagetti Monster once.
He was a big phony. He never flew once.
He just sat there, on his can in the supermarket, like he was better than me :(

This cult is perfectly inclusive:

Rule #3: Rules are to be made entirely by making a post stating the rule.  Authority to makes rules is universal.

If you find anything about this cult that might exclude your membership, just make a rule that invalidates the previous rule with which you took issue.
