 im unsure of what religion is best and i do not want to waste years of my life reading about all of the different ones.... so

      SAVE MY SOUL
             i will be auctioning off my religious views.... whichever religion posts the highest bid wins.   i will then convert to that religion and pray to that god.   i will not participate in any unlawful activities or animal/human sacrifices.  soooooo let the bidding begin!


                    auction ends Sept 7th at 11:11p.m. eastern standard time

all i can say is... wtf

I bid 0.0000001 btc

Your new religion is skoptsy.  Now, castrate yourself as your religion demands.

im a woman

Then your in luck, women in skoptsy gave themselves mastectomies!

i hope you get outbid

best hope you dont get some fruit cake that comes up with his own religion, like a pedo priest requiring all those in training to give daily blowjobs to the elders.

theres gotta be a jehovahs witness or bible thumping christian around.... jesus would want you to save my soul people

I haven't seen anyone claiming to be christian yet around here (not that I missed them). There is an Islamic Bank of Bitcoins though, so you have maybe more chances to end up prostrating to Allah five times a day  ;) But I guess they are too serious people for this thread.

Bid 0.000002
Your new religion is Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

This thread +1

0.000003 BTC bids that you are now a Heaven's Gate member.

i have to up the anty  im new and forgot the coins go to the eigth decimal.... minimum bid for my soul is ten cents....a man has got to have standards....
   so now low ball.....  minimum bid .01

So... a MAN has to have standards, but you're a woman.  So, therefore, I bid 0.000004 to convince you to convert to Atheism.

0.000005 BTC! You will be a Heaven's Gate member, and that is it! Anyone that bids against me will also have to convert, so bid wisely!

I bid 0.00001

You are now a LaVeyan Satanist. Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/laveyan_satanism

0.01 BTC to forego religion entirely and devote yourself to logic, reason and doing good for all of mankind and the earth that we share.

0.01000001 BTC!

And you can pick any suicidy cult you like!

If you need someone to choose for you, you do not need religion :) Bitcoin will do ya just fine :D

I bid 0.1 btc.

Should this one true bid prevail, your religion shall be the one true religion, Emacs. St. IGNUcius shall be your prophet[1]. You shall get your scriptures from faith.el and religiously read them once a day. Your homepage shall be http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/religion/

Shut up Mister Spock.

.11 for the church of Kopimi  :)

If said god does exist, I'm not so sure it would be impressed by your sincerity.

I bid 5 bitcoins to join the iussu pardi (order of the panther). It is an old Latin religion. I the reincarnation of your profit the panther. All members of the order must contribute 10 bitcoins to the order annually, starting the day they join.

Oh god, EMACS here too? Crap. I really wonder how many avatars are hiding massive neckbeards.

Anyway, for 0.2 btc I give you a choice: The Church of Eris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism) or the The Church of subGenius (http://www.subgenius.com). In effect your choices are get weird or get weirder.

im digging all the options... i was expecting to see more mainstream religions...but this should be fun

and i always thought bitcoin was religion  ::)

You got it all backwards. You are unsure, and you want someone to save you time and effort, therefore you should be the one paying for the service. You are essentially looking to outsource. It is amazing to see how many people fell for your twisted logic and offered to pay.

Now be a dear, and start again. Call for proposals. Place a payment in escrow. Announce the winner. Release the escrow, and start practicing. Right. I see the problem with my idea. You still need to decide. You want to avoid having to decide. Dammit!

0,15 to read about Islam just reading i don't want you to convert for money

Hey! I am very willing to pay for him to join the iussu pardi. No one has yet to outbid me.

Except that it would cost the OP, making that a negetive bid. My bid is the highest so far.

All religions have their cost. There was this one I found before, but can't find right now that required you to get a lobotomy. Many people here are suggesting religions that have some kind of cost. The iussu pardi only has a 10 bitcoin member contribution, and no physical harm. Imagine us like a very small organization with a similar hierarchical structure as the catholic church, but to be a recognized member you must contribute. Your logic may be sound in that she should be paying for the service. Did she ask for that kind of service? No. She asked for us to bid  for her religion. The iussu pardi has bid 5 bitcoins.

I give you 0.2 BTC if you don't join url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism]The Church of Eris[/url.

Because we discordians must stick apart.

Just had to throw that golden apple in the room, didn't you. Well, OP, the good news is that you get a minimum of 0.2 btc regardless of the religion you choose.

The rewards for joining the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster go way beyond any "physical" wealth. An afterlife of beer volcanoes, stripper factories, and a total lack of dogma should be enough enticement. The CoFSM is also the only religion that offers a thirty day trial period - if you leave, you get your soul back, no questions asked. (Warning: the FSM also expects you to think for yourself.)

Sorry, but OP specifies that she wants to avoid reading.

0.333 btc for becoming an overpopulation preacher. You'll have to dedicate a minimum of 2 hours per week learning about over population and spreading awareness as effectively as you can.

Seeding your first assignment, Listen to this new series "Beyond 7 billion" http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/population/
then read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation

and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOMWzjrRiBg&feature=player_detailpage#t=1085s (exponential economic growth Somehow Bitcoin related)

i appreciate all the responses.... but anything that is going to cost me a fee or commit suicide is disregarded and will not be considered.... and i have done a lot of reading on different religions  i feel like the society in which you were raised has such a major part in what your convictions and beliefs of a religion are.     Im ready to accept a higher power(or not considering which religion wins) and see if being spiritual to this religion will make me feel fulfilled and happy.   and just to add to the discussion...if after accepting said religion and practicing for 6 months if i do not feel any connection or a sense of fulfillment i will return the bid to the winner.

and i dont want to avoid reading...i dont want to read about every single religion...i will read and study whatever form of "bible" that wins... im ready to try and believe in anything if its going to make me understand my purpose on earth or an afterlife.

For some reason i cant edit my initial post.... but since i didnt realize there are such horrible people out there...i need to add these stipulations to my initial post   NO BODY MUTILATION, NO SUICIDE, AND NO MANDATORY FEES.   if i join your religion and there is a optional tithe or percent of income to donate to help the cause of religion  that is acceptable. but no scams saying i need to pay you hundreds of btc a month/week

Sell your soul...


...what did you expect?

You still seem undecided. Let me increase my offer.

If you join Discordianism, I will not only not give you 0.2 BTC.

On my next weekend I will also do what ever I desire to do.

In fact, I consider this to be the healthiest, happiest, and safest choice of all. I pledge additional btc 0.2 to this cause, thereby raising the total to btc 0.4 + Akka doing whatever (s)he desires on the next weekend.

You said that you would be prepared to give this a 6 months trial, so here's my proposal - it isn't exactly a religion, more an alternative to them, hopefully leading to an awareness beyond what most religions have on their menus, it is that you will agree read 1 book per month, for 6 months, that I will buy second hand from eBay or somewhere & get mailed direct to an address where you can receive them at, I may add in up to 6 DVDs for you to watch also but haven't thought much about that as yet, the first 3 books (unless you've read them already) would most likely be:

Ekhart Tolle: The Power of Now & A New Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckhart_Tolle)
Rob Brezsny: Pronoia (http://www.amazon.com/Pronoia-Antidote-Paranoia-Revised-Expanded/dp/1556438184/ref=ed_oe_p)

My bid is 1.01010101 BTC (plus you can resell/gift the books etc.)

agree to read* (sry can't seem to be able to edit my post atm)

I think you can't edit posts in "Auctions".

otah  thats sounds like a great idea...im not familiar with those books...but youve peaked my interest...if those books can help me make sense of all of this im looking forward to you being the high bidder..  i really doubt anyone else would give such an offer

Otoh, great suggestion. I've never heard of Ekhart Tolle before, but reading about his "teachings" reminded me of one of my favorite thinkers, Jiddu Krishnamurti. Sure enough, it turned out that Tolle himself has stated that Krishnamurti was a major influence.

Why have the Suicide Cult suggestions stopped?

WTF is wrong with Atheism ?

It's not a religion.

You don't need a religion... Just be good to your fellow man and you're set :)

Yes, but the OP wants to make it profitable, too.

meh

make a bid for atheism

Thunderbit, your auction closed a day or two ago & I believe that I'm the high bidder, if you wish to go through with it then please post &/or PM me within 8 hours so that I can place a bid on the first book promised as an auction for that closes then, many thanks. I will need an address to send these to & an email address to coordinate would be useful as well.

Dude, Thats not a religion, You "bet" is automatically Void because your not betting on the right item.

yep, I believe that you are right strictly speaking, but to me it's more like someone asking about different flavors of baby food which while they can be nutritious you don't necessarily want to be feeding on these your whole life & I was offered her a 6 month course in hopefully learning how to grow, harvest, gather & hunt, prepare, cook, serve, share & enjoy much more interesting fare imo. Anyway seems she couldn't face the forum cynicism & trollery & has taken herself off in a huff - I just put Alister Crowley's 666 on my eBay watch list for her too after reading her last posts, all roads lead there - some are just more tortuous.

The Church of Bitcoin (http://bitprayer.com) is the obvious choice here.

5 BTC - Existential Nihilism

if only the auction didn't state it ends sept 7th

I go for instant buyout at 21 million bitcoins.
They are yours already.
 
You must now accept the religion which is the one in which you already believed. 
Enjoy!

I would like to know the result of this, Otoh did you ever hear from Thunderbit or not?

Thunderbit got mad because someone questioned them while asking for a loan, and then left the forums before the auction ended.

Nope, as I posted earlier she quit the forums & as my course of self initiation would be way more rigorous than some forum ribbing then it seems she is not ready for that as yet & the universe moved her back to elementary pre-school where they also deal with issues like internets potty mouth & ego over sensitivity.

As I can't edit to add: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65208;sa=showPosts

Well, if Thunderbit had put her soul in escrow in the first place we wouldn't be here right now.

.........is that supposed to be a joke?...
pfffffhhhhhhhhhhhhahaha ahh hha hha aahhah hh hh hhaaa ffffff hhhuhhhh ahhhhhhhh
Noice.

Is this considered defaulting on an auction? A final bid was made, and they haven't accepted payment nor delivered their promise.

You could say, well she never took the BTC so no, but its like if I bid 10 BTC on something on Bitmit, or the auction section of the forums, and I won, isn't that a contract that I have to buy said 10BTC item?

Totally, I offered her 0.2 BTC for not taking my religion and until now I have no option to stand to my part of the deal.

That calls for a scammer tag!
