2018 Journal Entry - A transcript of a conversation between my Werewolf Goddess and me:
"Rather than religion, let’s make this a life-affirming philosophy."
"I'm glad you're getting into this Julia, but..."
"But what?
"I don't think we should have secular beliefs."
"Again, I think philosophy is in order. Drop religious or spiritual beliefs."
"Julia, I must object."
"You're objecting to me, F.B.? You've been doing whatever I say for six years."
"From my past experience working with other deities, I think there has to be a supernatural element to the belief system you're promoting."
"Listen, this is a new age. If we're going to make it big, we have to distinguish ourselves."
"What did you have in mind?"
"Maybe psychological counseling."
"I don't think that's going to work."
"Certainly, it will. People expect free content."
"Julia, you currently have a two hundred twenty IQ. Spell it out for the likes of me."
"F.B. in the past six years, you have finally entered the Information Age, learning about computers and what they can do."
"That's true."
"Nowadays, people think if they watch enough online videos, they can perform brain surgery, or take the bar exam to become a lawyer."
"What does that have to do with religion?"
"I'm using you as a sounding board, F.B."
"I understand."
"So, we throw up online videos, and..."
"Perhaps we should talk about this later, Julia."
"No, I got it! Then they PM or email us their issues or problems they are facing, and ta da!"
"They should make a deep, personal, sacrifice."
"I know. If they want a comprehensive answer, they have to visit me face to face."
"I would advise against that. Better would be downcast eyes."
"In addition, they have to travel to one of my properties and put their face down into the ground, while I deliver a more comprehensive analysis of their problems."
"This is improving, but face-into-some-mud? Probably taking it too far, from what I know throughout history of what works."
"Alright, stay with me, I'll buy another place on the Atlantic Ocean. They'll bow down in the sand."
"Yet this feature might be mocked."
"Plus, in this era of transparency we'll upload our entire belief system to the Internet."
"No, it should retain an element of mysteriousness. To use contemporary jargon: there may be blow-back."
"You worry too much, First Bound."

"This is Brian Burston with WTFU, Chicago’s news leader. In our top story, CEO Julia Woodgreen has been forced to resign by her board of directors for breaching the morality clause of her million-dollar contract. Accused of proclaiming herself akin to a god, she's amusingly only attracting masochists, according to former employees. Plus, reports are circulating that she had been committed to a mental hospital last year. Regardless, a devastatingly effective meme ridiculing her religion started months ago, saying that the belief system is 'Divinity for Dummies'.
"In other news, roaming packs of large dogs are on the loose and harassing local residents..."
