Should celebrities start their own religion with themselves as the idols of worship?
Where each celebrity gets categorised as a number in terms of how popular they are (how many facebook followers) or how much money / assets they own?....

Perhaps the top one could be called the Queen or perhaps even God's appointed leader of this cult / church.
Is that what illuminati cult meant to be? or is Illuminati just a revamped Crowley lodge or church of Satanism usual rebranding devil worship....

Instead of worshipping god of mamon (money)
we could worship Dolly Partons false breasts....

about as ludicrous as religions get....
Or should i say, a load of t...s

Or did that religion used to exist but now has gone T...s up... :D

Should anyone start a religion? No.

I did somewhat appreciate Mercerism and the empathy box from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Donald Trump did this by accident and it hasn't gone well.

As long as they're the first ones to drink the Flavor Aid when things don't go as planned in their cul- I mean religion.

you say this, but you ever see how "normal" folk treat celebrities? I don't think it is God that these people worship?...

hey, the Dolly Parton Prosthetic Breasts could easily be realised by simply building two Buddhist Stupa's together.

That would be Stupa....id though...

perhaps... although i am still fairly into the dolly worshipping religion
not to exploit anyone but more of a artistic observation or statement

i have already brought a thousand new hats for the new religious followers....

all hail Dolly's big boobs
be at one with the silicone
in silicone vally

is the chant of the dolly-ogs...
