Weird Rites

April 30, 2012 | Author: Sage Mike

Worshippers of God 937 pray by clucking like chickens. To avoid embarrassment when witnessed by outsiders, they disingenuously refer to this as "speaking in tongues."

Worshippers of God 937 pray by clucking like chickens. To avoid embarrassment when witnessed by outsiders, they disingenuously refer to this as "speaking in tongues."

Conceptually, in a spiritual mumbo-jumbo sort of way, it is possible to love all of the Gods simultaneously. However, because there are an infinite number of Gods, it is, in a practical, real-world sense, impossible for us to properly worship all of Them individually. Consequently, most Infinitian churches focus on one or a small number of the Gods, while occasionally saying a collective prayer for the infinite set of Them.

Another reason for restricting their worship to a limited number of Gods is that the cost of buying an Infinitiaty church franchise that allows the worship of all of the infinite number of Gods individually is cost-prohibitive for most church franchisees. A license allowing a church to say collective prayers for Them all at once adds only a slight amount to the licensing fee paid for the worship of a single God. (Each church must buy a license to worship at least one God individually because Gods don’t answer prayers collectively. And what’s the point of praying to Gods if They are not going to answer your prayers?)

When considering which Infinitiaty church to join it is, therefore, important to base your choice on which God or Gods the church worships. Otherwise, you may be stuck practicing some terribly weird rites. (But don’t let the responsible Gods hear you call their rites weird. You’ll regret the consequences if you do. Contrary to popular belief, lightning can strike twice, or three times, or millions of times. Enough said.)

Not Passing the Plate

April 27, 2012 | Author: Sage Mike

Passing the plate is too hard-hearted—even for Infinitiaty.

Passing the plate is too insensitive—even for Infinitiaty.

I’m often asked why the clergy at Infinitian churches don’t pass a collection plate as is done in the places of worship of many other religions. This perplexes the questioners particularly because giving to the church until it hurts to prove your love of the Gods is the most entrenched, hallowed dogma of our faith.

The answer is simple. Passing the plate is outrageously insensitive.

We’re usually shameless when it comes to seeking funds to honor and appease the Gods. Considering that there are an infinite number of Gods, we have no other choice. Nonetheless, despite rarely being worried about tact when it comes to soliciting money on behalf of the Gods, passing the plate is too heartless for even us. And that’s saying a lot.

Non-Disposable Words of Gods

April 21, 2012 | Author: Sage Mike

Non-disposable Words of Gods

Throwing out books containing Words of God—any words and any Gods—is blasphemous.

A few days ago I received the following letter from Björn Yësstordåe, a devout Infinitian originally from Sweden but now living in Allheavens, Louisiana:

Dear Sage Mike,

I love the Gods. In one way or another, every penny I have beyond the bare minimum I need to stave off starvation goes to the Church of Infinitiaty. One of my major expenditures is the purchase of scripture books from the Church bookstore. Of course, with an infinite number of Gods, I can never own and read all of the Infinitian scripture and other sacred texts, but that won’t stop me from trying.

Insurance Questions

April 1, 2012 | Author: Sage Mike

Insurance Questions

Buying insurance shows a lack of faith in the Gods.

Do I look like an insurance agent or an insurance broker? I dress conservatively, I’m kind of boring and relentless in trying to sell my beliefs, but that is not enough to make me an insurance salesman. For that I’d have to, well, you know, sell insurance. I don’t.

But people must think I do because lately I’ve been inundated with questions about insurance. I’ll quote just a few: “Hey Sage Mike, can you use your influence with the Gods to get me a great deal on home insurance?” “Does the Church have any good recommendations on where to find exceptionally low quotes on car insurance?” “Does it make sense for me to buy life insurance, or am I fated to live a long life?” “Should I invest in health insurance or is it cheaper to move to Canada?”

Why are you people asking me all of these insurance questions? I’m an Infinitiaty Sage. I know nothing about insurance. And, just to be clear, by that I mean I am ignorant about every type of insurance; car insurance, health insurance, life insurance, home insurance, and any other insurance that you might be considering buying. Stop asking me.

Revolutionary Knowledge

March 17, 2012 | Author: Sage Mike

Infinitiaty always knew the truth about the movement of the earth relative to the sun. Christianity didn't.

Infinitiaty always knew the truth about the movement of the earth relative to the sun. Christianity didn't.

Jane Fartalott, of Sceptique-de-Culte, France, recently emailed me the following question:

Dear Sage Mike [the feeble-minded can be so well-mannered, can’t they?],

If religion is divinely inspired and based on the true words that come directly from all-knowing Gods, why did religion believe up to the time of the Renaissance, and even beyond that, that the sun revolved around the earth?

Does God One Know Everything?

March 3, 2012 | Author: Sage Mike

God One is Not a Know-It-All

God One is Not a Know-It-All

I’m frequently asked if God One—or any God for that matter—knows everything. The simple and, for most people, surprising answer is no.

The common misconception that God One knows everything about everything comes from the monotheistic religions. Their false God (false at least in the sense that the monotheists don’t go far enough; they don’t recognize that their God is but one of an infinite number of Gods) is generally painted as being all-knowing. Infinitiaty has never claimed, unless paid to make that claim, that all-knowingness is a trait of God One. A simple look around provides clear proof that that is not true. Things, our bodies included, would work much better than they do if our Creator knew everything about everything.

In fact, it’s rather astounding to learn what God One does and does not know. His head is filled with facts and figures that one would imagine would be too trivial for a God to keep track of, but He is totally lacking much of data that is critical to His good stewardship of our universe.
