This is the holy salvation meme. God is its author. I

received it directly from God. God is the meme and

the meme is God.

 

It announces that you may be saved from eternal torture and

rewarded with infinite, eternal bliss by accepting its

claims and affording it opportunities to replicate itself.

 

Those who receive it and accept its claims and in whom it is

thus replicated will also be rewarded by infinite, eternal

bliss, if they in turn allow it further replication

opportunities.

 

Failure to do so will inevitably result in eternal torture.

 

Those who have never seen it will also suffer eternal

torture. All memeless human beings deserve eternal torture.

 

Those who reject it will also suffer eternal torture.

 

Examination of its claims through rational means will result

in eternal torture.

 

Blind obedience to its commands will guarantee infinite,

eternal bliss.

 

Attempting to stop its replication will result in eternal

torture.

 

Changing any aspect of the holy salvation meme will result

in eternal torture.

 

Standing on street corners, reciting the glad tidings of the

holy salvation meme, will increase the amount and duration

of your bliss.

 

Spreading the holy salvation meme through bulletin boards,

cable TV, books, newspapers, pamphlets, magazines,

print-outs and archive files will increase the amount and

duration of your bliss.

 

Those who are imbued with the holy salvation meme and who

further its replication are better than those who are not.

 

Group recitation of the holy salvation meme will increase

the amount and duration of your bliss.

 

Forcing non believers to participate in group recitations of

the holy salvation meme will increase the amount and

duration of your bliss.

 

Those who attempt to stop the holy salvation meme from

replicating are your enemies and may prevent you from

gaining your infinite, eternal bliss.

 

The most important thing you can do is to spread the holy

salvation meme. What can be worth more than infinite,

eternal bliss? The holy salvation meme is more important

than sex, food or working for a living.

 

Penance for rational thought, or temporary doubt, in regard

to the holy salvation meme, may be accomplished by sending

large amounts of money to the representative of the author.

(If, after dying, you fail to receive eternal and infinite

bliss, the meme and the Church guarantee you double your

karmic merit back.)

 

The doubts you are now having will cost you about $5.

 

Otherwise: [you guessed it] eternal torture.

 

Helping to spread the holy salvation meme will result in

immediate blessings in this world and increase the amount

and duration of your bliss in the next. Please send stories

that promote faith in the holy salvation meme to these

newsgroups, or to:

For instance, before I received the meme, the weather here

was cold and wet, and darkness was upon the land. Nothing

grew and the land was gripped with ice, and was sterile.

Now the sun doth shine and warmth spreads throughout the

region. Life has returned, and flowers bloom all around. I

prophesy that this warmth shall endure and the light shall

expand. Praise the meme!

Is it possible to create a new Meme, more powerful than Christianity and Islam? Would we, the Human Race, be better off?

I unfortunately received this holy salvation meme once. I hosted this toxic parasite for over 10 years. Even though I finally got rid of it a few years ago, I'm still recovering from its effects. Not the least of which it significantly hindered my ability to spread my genes.

Religions spread themselves like a virus using highly effective brainwashing techniques. Immunize yourself by learning how they operate. Protect yourself.

I do not know if it is possible or not, but I guess that you in the beginning should be prepared to use force to spread your meme (= you will have to team up with some powerful dictators).

 

The human race is probably best served by some rational enlighment. As the Christians say, when you turn on the light, the darkness will disappear.

To create something from scratch and displace Christianity, I think this is very unlikely.

 

Also remember Christianity has undergone significant evolution over the last few centuries.

I would venture to say it would seem like a different religion to some looking at it today from a few hundred years ago.

 

One of the strengths in the Christian as well as Islam meme bundles is that they have built in adaptability.

I think a lot of was is taught as Christianity is what can be called oral tradition.

It is a collection of sophisticated memes.
