If Brigham Young started his own religion why can't I?

If he created the mormon religion why can't I start the religion of Bob. Bob is laid back and easy goin. No churches/damnations and all that. Just a one page bible it says to be happy, be cool , and try not to hurt anyone. No rules about this and that unless if you kill someone that's not ok. Don't refer to Bob as God or Allah just Bob. Bob is cool don't pray to bob for money or a promotion just do that yourself. Bob doesn't require you to wear fancy robes, shave your head, not eat for days, give up caffeine or alchohol. You just can't drink Pabst Blue Ribbon unless you are desperate

. I know I'll get flamed but hey if some guy in Utah made up a religion why can't someone else. I just think religions in general have waaaaay too many man made rules that have flawed it. I hope if I were christian my god didn't talk like a choadley uptight anglo saying thou and hast every other word.

1) Brigham Young didnt start Mormonism, Joseph Smith did
2) He wasnt in Utah at the time.
3) Bob, BoB, bob or whatever you want to call it has been done
4) You are an idiot

I don't thing the Retardist Movement would fly very well.

In order to start a religion you have to be smart enough to prey upon people's fears and manipulate their psychological weaknesses. All religions start out as cults.

In short, you're not smart enough.

In short, you're not smart enough.

...but definately dumb enough to be recruited into a cult!

To quote the great Jack Dee:

The only advantage I can see to being a member of a cult is that you're less likely to be bothered by members of other cults. It's not like Jehova's Witnesses are going to be banging your door down if you're a certified member of some freakish sect...

By looking at your avatar, I already know enough about you to call you an idiot.
