Religious Amendments
Text Your Teachings
From the great website of Soul Pancake comes another great creative challenge. Soul Pancake is a website for talking about life’s big questions. Users can ask their own questions or answer the ones posted by others. The space on Soul Pancake where I spend most of my time is the creative challenges under “Stuff to Chew”. This time around someone posted a real brain buster.
He called it Text Your Teachings, and the whole point of the exercise is to write amendments to your religious commandments.
It’s been a long time since God appeared as a burning bush. And as interesting as it is to see the Lord’s likeness in a grilled cheese sandwich, we haven’t found one that talks yet. So while we wait for a non-edible version of a deity to appear and clarify things, take a moment to add some more credibility to your creed:
Write three text messages (each 50 words or less) amending your religion.
My amendments took a lot of thought and I think they summarize some solutions for the problems we are facing today.
- Amendment 1: Thou shalt not consider employees a drain on your companies profits.
- Amendment 2: Thou shalt not treasure things over thoughts.
- Amendment 3: Thou shalt not argue over pointless ideals that can and never will be proven right or wrong.
