well they said it "soon to be a major religion" it hasnt really happened yet, unless a religion is a bunch of crazed fans disscussing it,(hmmmm actually....), ANYWHO, lets make this happen,
1. who should our god be (a galaxy that collided with a space station)
2. commandments? (thou shalt not forgive fox)
3. special days of the year? mayby a new calendar system, 1AF (1 year after futurama)

anything else for our soon to be major religion?

Hmm, Futurama as a religion... swish.

1. Fry! (remembers back to Fry's statue in Parasites Lost - "The Known Universe" )  :laff:

Thou shalt avenge Futurama's death.
Thou shalt worship those with orange or purple hair.
Thou shalt bow to a shrine of Futurama merchandise every morning.
Thou shalt respect the sacredness of the Planet Express Employee Lounge, and all faithful subjects therein.
Thou shalt watch many glorious episodes on Futurama DVD's on the Sabbath Day.

3. Well, if we're going to have a new calendar system, we need new weekdays:
Monday: Momday
Tuesday: Farnsday
Wednesday: Zappday
Thursday: Benday
Friday: Fryday
Saturday: Zoiday
Sunday: Leeladay

I have already devised a religion based on "The Sting."  It's very simple: If you liked "The Sting," you go to Heaven; if you didn't like it, you go to Hell.  (PCC Fred is in trouble.)  And it turns out that this is actually the correct religion, so you can forget about Christianity and Hinduism and whatnot.

oh oh, don't forget about the bible:

…And the prophet David. X. Cohen said, “there shall be a anthology, and it shall be interesting”. And verily in the year of the second season, Futurama delivered unto us such an anthology and it was called the Anthology of Interest and it was deemed most interesting and most funny by us, the true viewers….

Our God is Matt Groening.
Our Prophets are the rest of the Futurama team.
Our holy lands are the TV and DVD player.
Our "officcial" languages are AL1 and AL2.
If you sin you are doomed to watch all the stupid shows on fox (or your local evil TV station).

And we need some sort of "charity fund" where all money raised goes to buying the Futurama rights off fox. (Or completely destroying fox, if its cheaper!)

Edit: Welcome to PEEL sci_bot. Hope you enjoy your stay.  :D

I think one of the holidays could be the PEEL independece day (from CGEF). And of course every family will worship the one true god of futurama, but each family will also have a diety (i call kiff).

Teral set it up but is no longer a Space Pope so I think Fred's in charge until I become a Space Pope in a few hundred posts, then we'll share it until Fred outranks me yet again, which won't take long.

The Great Creator would certainly have to be Matt Groening in my mind too.
Though, would we worship the people who made the show, or just the show itself?

What about Oprahism or Voodoo?  I love this show.  I created my own religion once.  More like a loose association of nerds with skin problems really.  It was fun though.  200 converts in my high school... some followers still subscribe to it's doctrines.  More or less just worship beauty and recognize it everywhere.  Andyism was it's name for lack of a better name.

Maybe just steal the present one, shove a picture of Bender boxing a Lion in it, write it in Binary and change Judias to  aluminium? 'some1s acting very aluminium'

Just incase the movies dont happen, I would like you to know that I am starting a religion based around Futurama. The general idea is to spread the word about Futurama, keep it alive and such. This is what you must do if you wish to become a Fryist.
1. You must watch Futurama as often as possible.
2.You must celebrate Fry's birth day [July 13] by drinking beer [or a bottle of limeade re labled to look like Slurm]and eating pizza [anchovies are optional]
3. You must use RamaTime [RamaTime, for those who dont know, is mesureing time as it is in Futurama i.e 1999 normal time is 3000 RamaTime. So the current year by RamaTime is 3007 (3007 is the year it would have been on the show if it were still on)So, using RamaTime I was born in 2988.] or alternitavly you can mesure time from Fry's birth 'Before Fry' 'After Fry' making it 31 A.F you choose.

I like those day names, especially Fryday ROTFL. I also like the one about making a shrine to Futurama *runs off to build one*

Just a little FYI
The first episode was set on December 31st 1999 and when fry first arrives in the future, its actually the year 2999 and they are celebrating the dawn of a new millenium. Plus, Fry falls into the tube at midnight, and seems to wake up at mid-day on on New Years Eve 2999. So 'RamaTime' would be exactly 1000 years ahead (3006) and twelve hours behind our time.

eeh, "fryday" is designated to fry, right?
so shouldn't you have a real party on fry's birthday
and booze on all "frydays"?
i just think that seems more reasonable, 'cause then you get 52 or more drinkingdays.

Bloody hell you nonce. Of course it took place in the year 3000. If Fry had continued to live in our time, it would have taken place in the year 2000.

Its one of those things which is so astonishingly obvious, and yet so difficult to explain.

But in the real world it was still 1999. The show first aired in March of that year.

We aren't talking "real world". If we are celebrating the date Fry fell into the freezing chamber, it would have to be based on the Futurama world. Otherwise it would make no sense.

Lots of folks here have plenty of ideas of what the future's major religion should be.  I would guess that's why our Futurama descendants created Freedom Day....

I really wouldn't want Futurama to be a religion.  I like it as a TV Show and a comic book.  I know there's been some other sci-fi shows that have practically become religions.

I don't think a show should ever become a religion itself, but I'm not sure about religions in shows. Some of them have good values.
