My Church The Church of Truth | Reverend Chris

 Church (Webster) –  a body or organization of religious believers.

So first we need a belief.
  • There is a strong probability that there is NOT a supreme, divine being or entity governing everything & everyone. 
  • It is also very likely that there is no “soul” locked within our bodies. Our being, or spirit, is a product of our mind. The synapses in our brains create our personality, thoughts, intellect & everything we are is contained within our mind.
  • We can thus conclude that when the body dies the electrical impulses in the brain cease to function & everything that was you will also cease. When you are dead, you no longer exist & never did, from your perspective.
There is one major caveat with this theory. There is no way to verify these points unless you die. With that in mind, there could be an afterlife, spirit, even a greater being. So, in our church, you can believe what you feel comfortable with, within reason.
  • Your beliefs are yours, do not try to force them onto other members. If another member asks about your beliefs, you may tell them, but don’t get preachy or ask them to join you in your belief system.
  • Do not disparage other members about their beliefs, no bullying, name calling or any other negative commenting.
  • Your personal beliefs may not be harmful, mean spirited, illegal, racist, homophobic or anything hat causes general distress to humanity. You may be asked to leave the church if you are a negative person.
  • Your beliefs must be true to you; no flying spaghetti monsters or parody religions views.


So, what is the belief of this church?


The core belief is: Love, respect, friendship, tolerance & companionship. That sounds a little corny, but it is how I feel. I love people & want others to love me. I want a church that is a community of people who love each other, no matter what our flaws are. It should not matter if you are short or tall, thin or big, black or white (or yellow, brown, red, green, whatever). We don’t care about your intellect, looks, social status, handicaps, sexual preference or what kind of car you drive. In this church we are a family & love everyone no matter what.
We are going to need some rules if we want to avert complete chaos. The rules are open to change, with a vote of the members. New rules may be added by members. We will adopt the same rules as the US presidential veto system to be fair. I will hold the veto power, as the founder, but can be overruled by a vote. There will be no one person in a position of authority, there is no “leader”, no “cult” aspect of control. I, as the founder, do not want to rule over the church & will not do so.

Rule 1

  • There will be NO tolerance of sexual abuse of any kind. This includes unwanted sexual advances, verbal, emotional or physical abuse.
  • No sexual or romantic relationships with (or by) any member under the age of 18.
  • Any infraction of this rule will result in immediate expulsion & will be reported to the authorities as warranted.
Rule 2
  • Violence is not tolerated in any form.
  • Owning firearms is okay, but in moderation. We are not going to arm ourselves with multiple weapons & attract the attention of the A.T.F. Anyone owning a firearm must comply with state & federal laws pertaining to them. 
  • No weapons will be allowed in any church building, event, gathering or function.
Rule 3
  • Family, friends, members of other religions & media are always welcome in our church.
  • Members are encouraged to communicate with friends & family, visiting them as often as possible. Nothing is more important that relationships with them.
  • No member will ever be banned or forbidden from seeing their friends & family at any time.
  • Hug. A lot. Seriously give people hugs.
Rule 4
  • Sex, yes this is the ruling about sex.
  • Sex is a good thing that should be done as often as possible.
  • There are many heath benefits from sex.
  • As long as all parties are of legal age, whatever you want to do is fine, providing ALL parties are consenting.
  • Gay, lesbians, multiple partners, swapping, group, it’s all good.

Rule 5

  • There is no rule five.


The Church of Truth

Fear, lies, mythology; that is what most churches peddle. Fact, science, truth; that is what my church promotes. If you want to hear the actual truth about this world instead of fairy tales, you have come to the right place.
