Uhm... that doesn't really work too well...
We'd all be our own individual popes wouldn't we?

You're a smart one. You can be a vice-pope.

Hopefully it will improve the adhesion of the suction cups on your silly Existentialist hat.

Our Commandments:
1: Fuck it.
2: Do it yourself cuz ain't no one gonna do it for you.
3: The universe hates you. Deal with it.
4: If it's wrong it's probably your fault.
5: Yearn for something each day.

I'm not sure if we wear hats yet, but if we do they will be damn silly in an ironic sort of way.

I hate to say it but you can't really have Existentialist commandments, it's far too individual, fragmented, vand ague. You also run into a lot of written commandment problems when you frequently encounter subjects beyond language and conception.
Less commandments, more silly hats!

You can't even pretend to start a Church of Existentialism if you haven't plowed through Being and Nothingness.

As for celebrity endorsements, sure Scientology has Travolta but we've got Kafka!

I agree, which is why we have commandment #1.
And I agree about the silly hats. The more absurd the hat the higher the rank.

Yea, I don't know about this church... no hats, no hookers heroin and pizza...
I think I'm going to stick to thinking for myself.

Yeah but according to your underlying philosphy you'd have to be the only one. That sounds pretty lonely, are you sure you don't wonder why you're alone in this hostile universe? Mmmm? Mmmm?Originally posted by Lysistrata

Thank you Dori.
<=== Existentialist.
Is there a church of existentialism? Yep. It's called Christianity.
Honest.
Only difference, is we leave the "yay jesus" at the door, and question what it means to live a good life, without diluted moralistic crap.
To paraphrase Heidegger
In becoming, we seek Being, in order to obtain being.
1. is anti-existential antipathy. quite the opposite of what your goal should be
2. is Randian Objective Egoism
3. That's pessimism
4. That's... i don't know
5. Selfish Egoism

Well this is the third church in five years I've failed to get off the ground.

So there.
Tess of the D'Obermans, I should have brought this up before, but while I respect almost everything you say (when you're not trolling) I do not have any positive feelings towards being called Dori.

Oh. hello atp.
I am standing on the platform of the tram and I am entirely uncertain as to my place in this world, in this village, in my family. Not even approximately could I state what claims I might justifiably advance in any direction. I have been told that on every tram there is one idiot. I have never been able to find that idiot. How odd.
