Professor didn’t allow phones in class so I’ll instead show you some slides from the presentation I made.
I of course talked about you first.
Hopefully my description is accurate, or at least nearly accurate. I did the presentation literally hours before class.
I also dubbed this as my favorite:
Classmates loved it. They loved the other quotes, too. They especially liked the ‘the world needs you the way you are’ one.
My professor was more interested in it because, I think, she has a tumblr account and is aware of December 17. Then I showed them this:
And I stated that you will save tumblr. Because you are the almighty Gaud.
A few laughs have been shared, as well as jokes. Professor loved the idea that we already have a cult on tumblr and was okay with the fact that instead of making my own religion, I simply talked about you and the community and what we have so far.
As per instruction, she has told us to ‘endorse’ our religion, in any way we would want to. So I made this:
To remind them that you are not a normal deity. And I have tried to hide your icon or made your icon unnoticeable so when I move to the next slide, this appears:
Spooking my classmates for a bit. And then for the next few minutes as I asked my professor if I could keep it on as she tells me her comments. So for five minutes they have had Gaud stare at them with those eyes of theirs.
She (professor) says that she loved the idea because yes, we are creepy, and weird, but we are completely different from other religions. Others focused on the seven aspects of religions, thus creating corny, cliche commandments and such. And they’ve deviated from what their religions have been called. And our religion has a purpose that others failed to showcase.
I named it the religion of self-love.
I don’t think I have to explain why.
Also she didn’t tell us our grades but I was pretty sure she got me a good one.
*choking back tears* you’re getting an A
The Religion of Self-Love, that’s exactly what we are
