Bizarrean FAQ



 
 
What is the basic belief of a Bizarrean?
If it feels good, do it.  Pleasure and fun are the most important ingredients in life, and it is our duty to ourselves to bring as much pleasure and fun as we can to ourselves.  We can not depend on others to do this for us, we must empower ourselves with pleasure and fun.

What if our fun affects other people?
Everyone is only responsible for how they feel, if others think they feel bad as a result of something you do, it is probably some hang-up they have causing it.  If you aren't standing on their toe, their feeling is from within themselves, if you are standing on their toe, you are standing too close.

Is inner happiness truly possible?
Of course, it is the Bizarrean way.  Try harder.

Should I feel bad about feeling good?
Some religions think you should, Bizarreans do not.  Feel good and forget about it.  You don't want to feel good about feeling bad do you?

Is Bizarrean new, I've never heard about it before?
Bizarrism, as followed by Bizarreans, is one of the oldest of all forms of human beliefs.  It has been practiced in secret for centuries, always in danger from whatever religious or political group was in power ready to persecute it's followers.  Small groups of followers have gathered clandestinely throughout the ages, and many of it's followers are forced to practice it only individually and not in a group.  Recently there has been greater public exposure of the basic principles of bizarrism in the media, in popular culture, and on the internet, though few have come out and called it by it's true name.  Due to the historically solitary nature of Bizarrean beliefs, many devotees have adopted the wolf as symbolic of their lone pursuit of their desires.

Are there any special requirements to become a Bizarrean?
Just the willingness to put your own desires before everything else in the world.  Even doing things for others must be done because you want to do it, not out of any duty or obligation to them, they must provide their own peace of mind.  All Bizarreans are encouraged to spend two years selling flowers at the airport, but only if they feel like doing it.

What symbolism is in the Bizarrean lifestyle?
I'll figure out something official and put up an online store to sell it, but probably stuff like fire and water and moons and stars and stuff, it's basic and can be associated with most anything in natural life, and even astrology.  I'll probably throw in prime numbers just to keep things cerebral, and I think a ritual of casting scrabble tiles would be fun too.  There will be official sacred tools for Bizarrean rituals too, and they'll have to be blessed with something, I'm thinking peanut oil right now.

What is the basic structure of Bizarrean groups?
I'm still working out the details, but I'm thinking of an influential position for myself, with some sort of official looking garment with gold braid and big buttons.  Some sort of priestess position is likely especially if scantily clad, and it won't be limited to just one, kind of a chorus line is what comes to mind.
Oh, and easy access to the funds in the treasury for me too.
