Be that as it may, the last thing I want for this religion is for it to be some bizarre offshoot fringe group of an already established religion. For instance, you have Quantum Life Buddhism, or Sokka Gakkai... And, believe it or not, scientology is a very expensive crazy form of Buddhism too.
I want to establish an entirely new doctrine altogether, with no ties to obsolete religions whatsoever.
