Vol. 02, Iss. 15 The Sermon of Disseminare
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As much as it amuses me to drag it through the mud, I do adore religion. What
self-professed student of memetics wouldn't appreciate such a powerful system
of information transfer. My favorite part of religion is the quotes in the
form of verses. The books of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam excel at this.
There is something so exquisitely delicious about religious verse; I believe
it's the numeration system that makes biting into these bits of meme so tasty.
The problems with these verses is that they are too well known. What if I
needed a occult-sounding verse for my textfiles? Could I expect to find
something in the Quran or Apocrypha that I didn't have to manipulate all out
of context?
I was reading "The Book of Mormons" the other day and wondered if I were
capable of creating a religion for my personal use. Am I not qualified? I've
studied the techniques of transmission. I've studied polyrhythmic verse. I
spent 30 seconds filling out the form on the Universal Life Church's website
to become ordained. I was qualified -- nay, I was chosen to write religious
material.
With that flash of enlightenment I crafted "The Sermon of Disseminare", a
religious device to myself, for myself. Like all religious text, it has holes
big enough to drive a truck through -- or dare I say holes big enough to plant
the base of a really large cross? Logic, however, isn't the point...
I await for that wonderful time about five or six issues from now, when this
particular textfile is wiped from recent memory. I shall then quote verses
from "The Sermon Of Disseminare" within my textfiles. Then I shall sinisterly
laugh at the thought of the brand-new and unsuspecting reader of TCAHR
wondering who the hell Disseminare is as I use his quotes to back up my ideas.
You may join me in laughter if you understand the joke; the rest of you may
furrow your brow in imitation of confused Neanderthals. I've heard that helps
with the pain brought about by the thought process.
