We
all know that religion is a cosmic joke. Our evolutionary background
leaves us with massive opportunities to fall into quite delusional
belief systems. For some the results are incredibly painful.
However, there are others that celebrate the cosmic joke of it all
with humor and delight. Consider the Intergalactic Krewe of
Chewbacchus. This is a new official religion. The high priest of
this religion is Ryan Ballard.
From
an article, “When asked if he felt any more spiritual since his
ordination, Ballard said: "I'm absolutely on a higher plane. I
can feel the furry fingers of the sacred drunken Wookiee stirring in
my soul." Read the article here.
We
can only hope that as more people recognize the cosmic absurdity of
religion it will move the world toward a happier reality for us all.
The
main web site for the group is here.
Any
religion must have its rules. The major ones are that there must be
no unicorns, elves or whinebots. Of course, the major purpose of
these rules are to enable the dynamic civil rights contingent called
the Mystic Krewe of P.U.E.W.C. or People for the inclusion of
Unicorns, Elves and Whinebots in Chewbacchus. From their web site,
“Unicorns, Elves, Faeries, Potterheads, Were-beasties, and all the
rest of the supernatural and magical creatures in the universe can
now join in the fun. Fantasy fans are welcome to roll in the
Chewbacchus Parade under the mighty banner of the Mystic Krewe of
P.U.E.W.C.”
