Your own (to my dear Emma)
If
You don't like
Any of the world's religions
What keeps you from starting your own?
Ok, not being the charismatic type
You won't be a televangelist
Or a bible belt superstar.
I just hope you will be happy
With your own company
And not become one of those freaks
Bugging people on some crowded intersection
While people have enough of their daily chores
And problems.
Perhaps, while searching you will chance upon
A like-minded agreable group
Of the spiritual kind
Not chained by strict beliefs which no longer have
Meanings
For you.

Sounds like an uncool idea to me 🤷♀️.

I suppose mostly, because power, control, and glory are not the cool. Are the opposite of this, in fact.

Also, repeat the same bullshit story, in life? Man grabs and wields dominion over his followers' minds? If you're playing a spiritual game, like I am, that's for fucking losers who are quite frankly materialists, and the doing so of which immediately marks anyone down like that as a corny prick who just wants to manipulate others—EVEN IF that prick thinks to himself he's doing so for their own good. No thanks friend. If Other people want to, or are able to, or randomly happen to find spiritual comfort or just shivers of the cool, from some, or any, or every of my IRL presences, practices, actions or ways of being, that's fine. In fact that's better than fine, that's fucking great. But that's as far as it goes as far as I'm concerned. Prostitute myself? Fuck you. (rhetorically). Fuck that whole idea.
In real life I act like a fool (think man) and a weird, scared transgender girl (think woman) as much as possible. Not only because I like to and I feel that's really my true self and personality (weird and shy transgender girl), but also so that people don't really get ideas that I want to be some kind of better than thou Or a person who is serious about any kind of bullshit. Other times I act as much like an asshole as completely possible, so that people don't get the idea that I'm not. It's a pantomime, except that it's all real.

Whenever you have two persons, one will end up leading and the other will end up being led. That is so since the creation of Man. So you can isolate yourself (but then, as an author pointed out ''no man is an island'') or you can do the best of whatever situation you find yourself in.

In my opinion, that's a cynical and valueless statement about the worth of humanity. I'll lead by example, thank you, not by telling other people what to do, manipulating their minds with smarm and or charisma. I'm the most famous recluse in my city. And I'm plenty moving. The world sees me as I move through it, and that's all the audience I can conceive needing to be effective before. Nothing more is necessary for me to get my message across.
And as opposed to starting cult of personality driven churches, here's the literal definition of the cool, as well as one of the most spiritual songs in the canon. Iggy Pop-The Passenger: https://youtu.be/-fWw7FE9tTo
Anyway, I'll step off my high horse now.

Valueless? How nice of you. And PS: by saying that you will lead by example simply justifies my point: you lead (in whatever way). Or you follow (in whatever way).

Well, a bit harsh, I suppose. But indeed, I do consider base cynicism to be valueless.
Besides, don't blame me man. You're the one suggested I personally start a religion. I'm just reacting honestly, albeit with vitriol, to said suggestion in the call out. The idea goes against everything i hold sacred.
I'm just up in arms against everything. Don't take it personally. That's my job.

Too bad you took this toooooooooooo personally. Religions, like politics, are always very very touchy subjects.

Heheh. Yeah they are. Sorry about that (I say in the clear light of day🥸). You're one of my favorite people here. Sorry if it felt like I was fucking with you.

Everyone chooses a belief that best fits the void. Some have switched, some have lost it and found it. I've met several folks who don't attend church and are plenty spiritual because they've made a connection with something higher than themselves. And some folks feel like they haven't reached their potential, others will live and die by the (s)word.
