Default Re: The bigger you are...

I agree with Narf. Apart from all the problems of pissing of Christians (admitedly probably the safest to annoy behind Budists) and unintentional parody its cliched.

Plus if you make up a religion it may involve a bit more back story but you get full control to do whatever you like without the shackles of doing an 'evil' version. Lets face it making up a religion isn't tricky. Deity, acolytes, afterlife, rituals and commandments/laws. Covers those five and the rest is detail. Eg:

The great god Bod demands you pray to him every second Tuesday and sacrifice 3 pints of milk once a month. Also don't set fire to goats on the 12th day of Sprune of you'll incur his wrath. Do all this, and listen to his most holy priests, and you too will end up in the sacred pub round the corner when you die.
