This way people will come to my new way because no other people will dislike them and they will enjoy all others.

Of course others will dislike them. This is like Paris being told to choose which of the three goddesses is most beautiful. They'll make him choose, or all three will hate him.

I would call it the Church of Chance, and the form of worship practiced would be gambling of every sort, celebrating the prime motive force in the universe.

Read the Dice Man :D (pm me if you want a summary)

One hell of a book - and it actually became quite a cult thing back in the day. I even explained the process once to some religious folk that had stopped me on the street. They claimed it was the devils work, but then that's christians for you.

Mine is already here...we have Churches...we call 'em stripclubs!

Except of course if it was a proper religion all stripping would have to be done in aid of Charity. And attending every Sunday sounds a bit meagre... better make it a long weekend Friday to Monday, and we'll throw in a Wednesday sermon from the Podium for those particularly devout followers...

Nah, I don't mean it like Hedonism....Hedonism isn't eternal, hedonism is based off material pleasure and enjoyment which is only temporary and since it's temporary it causes suffering when the environment changes, it also doesn't solve anything, you can still become agitated, angry, fearful, etc....my religion would be all about acheiving eternal enjoyment, pleasure, happiness, etc....which can only come by the destruction of the defiling impulses which cause us fear, anger, sorrow, etc, all problems only exist within you as feelings...I think it's much closer to Buddhism, it's however not emphasized that much although mentioned many times by Gautama Buddha...

For instance when asked by Gautama Buddha who has more pleasure the king who has all material opulences, or himself, Gautama Buddha said himself because he has a higher degree of unalloyed pleasure...

"'Now, I — without moving my body, without uttering a word, can dwell sensitive to unalloyed pleasure for a day and a night... for two days & nights... for three... four... five... six... seven days & nights. So what do you think: That being the case, who dwells in greater pleasure: King Seniya Bimbisara of Magadha or me?'

"'That being the case, venerable Gotama dwells in greater pleasure than King Seniya Bimbisara of Magadha.'" (Cula-dukkhakkhandha Sutta)

Your joy does not seem as high as the joy I'm talking about, which is the most extreme form of pleasure imaginable, in fact most never experience it

No clear set theology; rather a set idea of naturalist metaphysics.
Morality would be centred around tolerance and self-responsibility.

There's a Phillip K. Dick novel (I forget which one), in which the ultimate function of government has become the running of a lottery whereby all wealth gets redistributed randomly. I could see something similar in a religous organization.

I would make the religion of the church of The sparrow, The duke, and pikey, we would base our moral beliefs on characters from my favorite movies ...boondock saints, Fear and loathing, snatch, our commandments would be called "the fucken rules man the rules" they would be as follows
1. do not talk about this religion
2 do not talk about this religion!
2. the rum shall never be gone
4. Dont stop in bat country
5. everyone shall be an irish pirate
6 ereone shoul liek degs
7 If someone should piss you off...feed em to the pigs
8 if its your first sermon...you have to pray

Or I could just make a giant hypocricy based on fear and greed ......but then I would just be a copycat =p

I have already conditioned my God. My God cannot be omnipotant. He/She can be very powerful, most powerful of all, but not omnipotant.
My God is not bound by human desires, neither is He/She concerned with sexual desire or for what we eat, or for what we might wear.
My God only wants to be recognized.
