So's Blu, by the sound of it.
Blu Forgive your humble avatar. I have Sind. (oh sorry that's my old history homework notebook)
Oh Phoenix laugh not! Say with me as we push Blu into the fiery chasm of Orgy Rome .. say ... "All Hail the Mighty Prim! All Hail the Mighty Prim! ..."
Now I am just off to watch some telly. Back soon.

Spoken just like a man, thinking that women should worship the phallus when the women are really thinking "yeah, whatever. Can you please take out the trash like I asked you to 3 hours ago?"

The firey chasm of Orgy Rome? Pushing me into a burning ring of fire? There are creams for that, I am told.

-Blu-

Available from the Great Cubist Prim (but only if in-world transactions are up and running)

Chaplain: Let us praise God. Oh Lord...

Congregation: Oh Lord...

Chaplain: Oooh you are so big...

Congregation: Oooh you are so big...

Chaplain: So absolutely huge.

Congregation: So ab - solutely huge.

Chaplain: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here I can tell you.

Congregation: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here I can tell you.

Chaplain: Forgive Us, O Lord, for this dreadful toadying.

Congregation: And barefaced flattery.

Chaplain: But you are so strong and, well, just so super.

Congregation: Fan - tastic.

Oh thy blasphebers,
The True Prim is niether cube nor cylinder, niether is it torus or sphere.
Ni, the true type of the great prim is ever changing for it is of all prims.
Like wise is the texture of the True Prim, it has non for it's true texture is to grand for us humble avatars to rez.

Therefor try not to make an image of the True Prim, this is an abonimation and will surely make you crash.

Abigail,
High Preistes of the allmighty allbeing True Prim.

*giggles and walks off to nible on a fresh rat*

Mew..

ahh dang up intill 2 weeks ago I coulda claimed that. But I was deflowered.
At least I cant be sacrificed to the prim god so ty to who hall not be named. hehehe

Argos wins the thread.

Lindal I was dying over that one too. Glad I finished my coffee.

You read the words but do not see the message.

The Almighty Prim is clear on this and loves you all.

Ethernal Life is within your grasp!

Lucifer's Legions will be crushed, this is the one and only true path.

Through the Church of Ethernal Life the

Terror On the Streets will be crushed!

May the flock find it's way and claim that which it rightfully owns, for this is a world with no beginning and no end, may the children guide it's form and become one with the Prim.

Worshiping the false god with a thieving hand is a path to the end, a path to death. This world is for all!

So sayeth the Prim.

I'm an egotherapist, which is basically the virtual world equivalent of humanism. I'm much happier with the idea of new in-world religions like prim worship than I am with the idea of RL religions being brought into SL!!!! But, as a rationalist egotherapist, I will challenge the beliefs of the prim worshippers and take great delight in pointing out the errors of their ways and the folly of their beliefs!

….. And a merchant said, "Speak to us of Buying and Selling."
And The Great Prim answered and said:
To you, 2L yields her sculpties, and you shall not want if you but know how to build.
It is in exchanging Linden Dollars that you shall find abundance and be satisfied.
Yet unless the exchange be in poseballs and kindly animations, it will but lead some to lag and others to BSOD.
When in the Malls you builders of the Linden waters and sims and clubs meet the content creators and the scripters and the gatherers of textures, -
Invoke then the master Prim of 2L, to come into your midst and sanctify the transactions and the grid that holds value against Linden Dollars.
And suffer not the No-Payment On File to take part in your transactions, who would sell their words for your labour.
To such Residents you should say,
"Come with us to the sim or go with our brothers to the Freebie Marts and camp….

All we're thinking is, "Geezums! I've been taking out the trash for three hours now! When is she going to finish so I can go have a beer and watch ESPN?"

Oh, wait - thought "taking out the trash" was a euphemism for...um...you know... You meant actually taking out the trash. Don't worry. We'll get to it.

I just gotta share this one....

Back in 2005, before there was such a thing as 'Megaprims'... Cienna Rand built "The Giant Cube", with "The Giant Cube gift shop" right next door. It was one of those SL tourist attractions akin to a Mystery Spot

(Check here for history: /120/fa/33687/1.html)

It was only around for a week - then the whole thing was destroyed with much fanfare, in a blaze of fire. (History here: /53/5b/34465/1.html).

Anyway, the cube spawned "The Church of the Giant Cube". I showed up wearing a white robe, and passed out Giant Cube religious tracts & Cherry Kool-Aid to everyone watching the blaze. Much fun was had by all

Maximum - I still have the tracts (and the Kool-Aid) if you want them. Sounds like it might be a good fit

The Prim crushed nothing. It was phantom.

A Holy Ghost Prim... Hmm.. /me ponders the Trinity of Prims..

Dammit Figtree, you beat me to it.

Alrighty then:

HARRY THE HAGGLER: Stones, sir?

MANDY: Naah. They've got a lot there, lying around on the ground.

HARRY THE HAGGLER: Oh, not like these, sir. Look at these - they're sculpties. Feel the quality of that. That's craftsmanship, sir. Look at the texturing...

MANDY: Hmmm. Aah, all right. We'll have, uh, two with points and... a big flat one.

BRIAN: Could I have a flat one, Mum?

MANDY: Shh!

BRIAN: Sorry. Dad.

MANDY: Ehh, all right. Two points, ah, two flats, and a packet of prim gravel.

HARRY THE HAGGLER: Packet of prim gravel. Should be a good one this afternoon.

MANDY: Hehh?

HARRY THE HAGGLER: Local boy. CROWD OF WOMEN: (yelling)

JEWISH OFFICIAL: Matthias123, son of Deuteronomy456 of Gor.

MATTHIAS123: Do I say 'yes'?

STONE HELPER #1: Yes.

MATTHIAS123: Yes.

OFFICIAL: You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our Lord, and so, as a blasphemer,...

CROWD: Ooooh!

OFFICIAL: ...you are to be stoned to death.

CROWD: LOL!

MATTHIAS123: Look. I-- I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my slave was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for a Linden'

CROWD: Oooooh!

OFFICIAL: Blasphemy! He's said it again!

CROWD: Yes! Yes, he did! He did!...

OFFICIAL: Did you hear him?!

CROWD: Yes! Yes, we did! We did!...

WOMAN #1: Really! (silence)

OFFICIAL: Are there any women here today?

CROWD: (turning off Voice) No. No. No. No...

OFFICIAL: Very well. By virtue of the authority vested in me as an SL Mentor--

(We hear the "dunk" sound of a stone hitting Matthias123.)

MATTHIAS123: Oww! Lay off! We haven't started yet!

OFFICIAL: Come on! Who threw that? Who threw that stone? Come on.

CROWD: (forgetting themselves and turning Voice back on) She did! She did! He did! He! He. He. Him. Him. Him. Him. He did.

(All the women's voices begin rather high-pitched, then drop down to low, deep men's voices.)

CULPRIT WOMAN: Sorry. I thought we'd started.

OFFICIAL: Go to the back.

CULPRIT WOMAN: Oh, dear.

OFFICIAL: Always one, isn't there? Now, where were we?

MATTHIAS123: Look. I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying 'Linden' without the 'TM'.

CROWD: Oooh! He said it again! Oooh!...

OFFICIAL: You're only making it worse for yourself!

MATTHIAS123: Making it worse?! How could it be worse?! Linden! Linden! Linden!

CROWD: WTF!

OFFICIAL: I'm warning you. If you say 'Linden' once more-- (sound of a rock hitting someone) Right. Who threw that? (silence) Come on. Who threw that?

CROWD: (in Voice) She did! It was her! (In chat) He! He. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him.

OFFICIAL: Was it you?

MRS. A.: Yes.

OFFICIAL: Right!

MRS. A.: Well, you did say 'Linden'.

CROWD: Ah! Ooooh!...

(The women all shriek followed by several thumps)

OFFICIAL: Stop! Stop, will you?! Stop that! Stop it! Now, look! No one is to turn their stoning AOs on until I blow this whistle! Do you understand?! Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say 'Linden'.

CROWD: Ooooooh!...

(Lots of clickety high-heel sounds, followed by a large thump)

WOMAN #1: Good shot!

(entire crowd uses their /clap gestures)

I think i am in Love with this thread.

OMG, me too.. between this and the thread that will not die, this Forum is fun again.

Oh dear... where did all the worshipers go?

Didn't you know? Friday is the Sabbath in Second Life, so the Lindens do no work whatsoever that day.

Which is why when Friday rolls around, the whole thing falls apart...

I was busy sewing my new white robe for the all mighty worshiping tonight.

hehe

Wait? White robes? Um...damn...I thought we were all doing a naked midnight dance in reverence of the moon....
