How to Start A Church: A series

Yeah, I think this year of Religion will be a crash course on running your own Church. SO I'm gonna spread the love.

Step 1: How do you get members?
LIVE IT! Spread that word by living it. It's like if the people at Colgate said go buy it! It's great. And then it's found out that he uses Crest every night. Hippocrits don't sell.. well churches I guess.

Step 2: Who to let in?
Hm.. guys? girls? Over 18? Over 21? Who to let in. Set your standards and stick to them, or actually your lack thereof standards cause Catholic=Universal aka everyone is welcome.

Step 3: Rules rule.
Now, NOTHING will survive unless there is order. Not like some religions -Pharisees!- where it's like rulesrulesrulesrulesrules more rules than actual.. faith. So set some boundaries like well if you join you can't.. I don't know.. travel to like Pakistan. Rules rule!!

Step 4: Publicity tours.
Saul, to Paul, to Greece. Now, LIVING the word only gets you SO far you have to spread the word by going on a publicity tour. Be like Paul go on tour.. 3 times.. not on foot, but make sure people know you exist. You can't join what you don't know.

That was lesson 1 on running and starting up your own church. Of course this is bypassing the founding of a god or holy book(s) this is the institution of a church itself that divine entity stuff is up to you. YHWH, Spaghetti monster.. you pick.

P.S. Oh, this'll be fun.
