It is the rule with drunkards to fall upon one another, to fight and squabble and make tumult.

Still have that list around?
Yes you must collect the tiths before the sermon! Anyone who's ever headed a cult knows that one! It's in the hand book. You do have the hand book don't you? It's avalible on Amazon I believe the title is How to Create a Cult for Fun and Profit.

I thought you had to collect the tithes before you passed out the kool-aid?

The cult of Browncoat?

Gosling juggling optional.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

For no reason whatsoever here are the commandments, along with their authors if it matters (Pipin was my head priest):

Perhaps I should point out that most of these are not actually commandments. Consider it pointed out.

Also, I'm not the one who recorded these.

Commandments:
1: Relax
2: Give money to me.
2: Don't listen to others
3: Don't ask why there are two number twos.
4½: Don't ask why there is a 4½ but not a 4. (or a 3½ or ...)
5: Wait, you're recording this?
(Pipin)6.2: Thou shall sleep while sleeping.
8: Wait, what happened to 7? Oh wait I have to think of something...
This is another funny number: Enjoy yourself, life sucks.
9 or 10: Live free ...or don't.
7, oh here it is: There are no gods but ours... and other peoples gods... and those other gods no one cares about.
(Yet again, Pipin)11: If you have pizza, and your neighbor doesn't point and laugh.
13, I like that number: If you sit in the chair ...
12: What do have a lightbright here?? That should be a commandment right there.
15: Keep this up we'll have a religion in a year and when you two graduate we'll have some followers, maybe two or three.
16: If I were a commandment what would I be?
((sigh) yet again Pipin.)17: Tho shall wear clothes uless naked
18: Keep on writing until we run out of ideas or paper. If we run out of paper, get more paper.
19: No, no the answer is yes!
21: When I doubt, go left.
22: if we get to 30 put in 20 after.
(Pipin and Chris)23: If you slept with more than one person, Good for you!
24: You will worship anyone you want, unless it's not me... what the hell, have fun.
25: Hang on a minute.
26: From now on "this way" is left, and "that way" is right.
27: Ok you can continue now.
28: The answer is ... let's see ... carry the pi... yes.
29: Tho shall play the M game.
30: Ye shalt not judge another by his/her/it's spelling.
(Pipin) 20: It is not how big, but how often.
(Chris, in response to 20)31: What?!
(Pipin, in response to 20)32: Wait don't write that.
33: Pi is line line squiggle.
34 (For now at least): Oh by the way, read this backwards.

Needless to say it succeeded and I am no longer at the center of a religion.

Wouldn't it be more profitable to raid the bodies afterward? I mean that way you know no one is holding out.

The cult de Browncoat indeed!
I believe the order of a proper worship service is Tith-Semon-Kool aid or at least that's how I conducted them. It's a personal choice but for me that produced the best results.

By the way, now might be a good time to point out that when people ask me what I would do if I ruled the world for a day my response is very simple:
Collect Taxes.

People should not be asked to drink the kool aid until after they've given you all their money. I made that mistake the first time.
