Celtic Connection; Wicca and Paganism= http://www.wicca.com/ {I fully endorse; though am not one; the Wiccan faith/religion-or at least some branches of it; I am a friend of the Wiccan/pagan/and neo-paan religions and community; however there is a trend of Favoritism shown towards Christianity and the other Abrahmic faiths beeing shown by many western Wiccans/Neo-Pagans, but this is not nessacerily reflective of Wicca and Neo-Paganism themselves}
Neopagan= http://www.neopagan.net/ {same as above}

The Agnostic Church= http://www.agnostic.org/ {This is by means what all agnosticism is; but I thought I'd include it; I am ot agnostic-but I personally view it as the most rational starting point in matters of theology,etc; and, it's the view I think all children should be raised with while beeing taught about ALL religions and philosophies-as agnosticism is the most unbiasd perspective}
Satanism/The "First Church of Satan"= http://www.churchofsatan.org/ {this is not the well-known "Church of Satan"-of Anton Lavey; though they do asociate w/Laveyans, they are more balanced{kinda like Taoists};Laveyans on the other hand are more elitist, which given what they are, is not nessacerily a bad thing}
"The Church of Lucifer":= http://luciferian.org/ or http://www.churchoflucifer.org {Similar to Satansism, but w/slight differences
Focuses more the LUCIFER="light-bearer" principle, one of the four crown princes of hell; I am a member of this group.}

The Cash-in of the Christ

This section will contain info about the "cash-in" and the "fashion" of the Christ.
In other words, it will reveal and expose the mountain of wealth, greed, gluttony, materialism, and deception of the den of thieves called the Evangelical Christian entertainment media and industry.
It will also contain info on their political,social, and financial wealth,influence,power and clout on our so-called democracy.
I am in the process of researching this, so stay tuned, I will eventually start posting info here.
And always remember, WWJW- What Would Jesus Whore?

The Iconoclast Project

The Iconoclast Project

THE FIRST CHURCH OF APOSTASY

The Iconoclast Project

THE FIRST CHURCH OF APOSTASY:

This is my Project to start a pseudo-religious/ social movment to unite apostates of the Abrahamic faiths and "One way-ist" faiths{EX-Christians,Islamics,Jews,etc. To reveal the positiveness of the term that people see as negative, 'Apostasy'.

The first Church of Apostasy:

The 3 principles/goals of the Church{or fellowship} of Apostasy are as follow;
1}First and Foremost, to unify in fellowship, apostates of all "One Way-ist" revealed faiths{ie:Ex-Christians,Ex-Islamics,Ex-Judaism,etc..} for mutual support,etc.
2}To go forth and share the good news of freethought; to encourage other people to apostasize.
3}To challenge/oppose the excess social,political,financial,ideological power and stronghold of "One Way-ist' faiths; to do so non-violently, yet with little mercy ideological. To expose their deceptions and their myths as the danger to human progress and unity that they are.

The Church/Fellowship{Mosque,Synagogue} of apostasy will be/is an irreligiuos social movement guided by the aforementioned 3 principles/goals. It will be/is a pseudo-religion/umbrella movement to unite in spirit and purpose. As well as for mutual support, apotates of all "One Way-ist" faith{the Abrahamic ones especially}.

The movement/fellowship will adopt terms/labels/etc such as "Religion", or words such as "Irreverand"{reverse "reverand"},etc, for novelty,aesthetics,symbolism; as well as for the purposes and convenience of gaining notoriety, and for the purpose of being accepted as more legitimate{or as legitimate as a movement of it's nature can be accepted as being}.
To be more precise, the church of apostasy will be non-hierarchal,non profit{ and non-prophet}, with no governing or central absolute authority{ies}.
I, the Very Irreverand Bill Baker, will be the intitiator and a co-ordinator of this "church"/movement, but I will not hold any absolute authority; my vision is merely unity and co-operation amongst all apostates, the we be proud to be whom/what we are. I would expect no less than that any attempt by me or anyone else to exercise absolute authority{like a cult, or a regular religion} would cause anyone whom joins to make sure we are held accountable, or that they leave and denounce the movement. This movement will be a relativistic,highly individualistic, and democratic one. Though there will be movement co-ordinators/directors, and movers and shakers, "all" will be 100% equal.

The Irreligion, which as stated before, will be a "social movement". As such, co-ordinators and members alike may be of any non-One Wayist philosophy,religion,etc. The diversity will be wide; Atheists,Agnostics,Pantheists,Deists,New Agers,Pagans/Neo-Pagans/Wiccans/Witches,Buddhists/Taoists,Secular Humanist,Objectivist,Universist, The list can go on extensively. They will all share the commonality of being apostates of "One Way-ist"/revealed faiths{especially the ones of Abrahamic origins}; for obvious reasons, apostates whom left one revealed/one way faith for another will not be admitted into this freethought movement.

We will be somewhat similar to the Universist movement, except the apostasy movement will embrace people whom have faith, so long as that faith is not "One Way-ist". We will also be somewhat similar to Universalism, except we will not accept not condone "One Way-ist" religions. On top of this, unlike both of these movements, we will be exclusively apostates.
It will be a movement free from doctrine{though containing some somewhat Universal principles} or dogma in the traditional sense; we will share
Certain "principles", and the movement itself will contain certain "principles" which will be flexible and relativistic to the individual.




This project is barely under way, and it will likely be awhile before I can get it fully off the ground.

If anyone is interested in joining it, or helping me to get it off the ground; particularly if anyone is an apostate of one of those faiths{Christianity,Islam,or Judaism, or another "One Way-ist" faith}, please email. If you are an apostate or know an apostate of Islam,Judaism,Christianity,etc, particularly the first two {since I do not know them well enough}-you're assistance would be greatly appreciated.
