Follow-e-Dilbert
Have you read "The Dilbert Principle" by Scott Adams? Have you read this ? Well statistically speaking 89.3% of the population has (Can you disprove it?) and therefore we need something like Follow-e-dilbert.
This religion I propose (if anybody else has already done this, I brand this as having better features and I deny finding any such previous work during my survey. Also I demand my right of plagiarism), is a recluse for people like me who stopped believing in (existing) religions at some point of time in their life and look forward to a new world order.
What's in a name?
It took me a long time to name this religion. If you have read the "The Dilbert Principle" (henceforth referred to as "the bible") you will know that naming is a long process. However, a good name is important for success of any project (As in the bible you can draw parallels from real life to the corporate world as freely as the spider in the corner of my room spins its web (you will also find non-sensical analogies throughout this post as in the bible (I will drop "as in the bible" from now on (the parantheses make the post irritating to read but as it is mainly meant for nerds and people with lots of time it doesnt matter (however, the parantheses will always be balanced (now you know what I do for a living)))). So as I was saying a good name is important. I first thought of naming it after Scott Adams' (from now on referred to as SoG, Son of God) favourite creatures, weasel or chihahua but then I took the liberty of naming it after Akbar's long lost religion (who knows it might have worked and I would not have been writing this).
So here it is, Follow-e-Dilbert.
Central Theme
The Bible
The New Testament
The Satan
Bob the Dinosaur - gives wedgies to people who deserve it.
The Holy Series
Futurama - Though never mentioned, it is highly probable that the religion in the future will be an advanced version of Follow-e-Dilbert.
Is it really a religion?
You will be wondering, does Follow-e-Dilbert qualify to be a religion? Although we (I take the liberty of assuming that I have some fellow brethren by now) do not care what you think but I will try to justify it with some points for the non-initiated. However, you will find that I am polite while I write. If you try to have a face-to-face encounter and you are not satisfied by the reasons stated below, I will shout non-sensically (use of profanity allowed) and lose my temper to have you under my command.

- The central theme as in all religions is "All People are Idiots". If this sounds offensive to you or you do not agree with me, try reading the links in the first few lines of this post. I could go on and on about other religions but it will be irrelevant and a bit too hot for the flavour of this post.
- People here too are divided into sects which are constantly in war with each other for dominance.
- It has a Satan and a God.
- It has a holy book of its own.
- There is a moron who in his free time took pains to write down the holy book for the "benefit" of others.
- Women are considered second class citizens.
