Ok. The Church of Euthanasia is a non-profit org. based on the
overpopulation issue.
We have ONE commandment, which is: Thou shalt not procreate. In addition,
we have four optional, VOLUNTARY pillars: suicide, abortion, cannibalism
and sodomy.
Each one based on human beings' interrelations with the ecosphere.
We are very serious about this. But we are only for voluntary forms of
population reduction.
When people kill themselves and let the Church know, they are made saints,
with no additional paperwork. We are very pleased when people take our
advice. I know the next question, inevitably is, why don't we follow our
own advice. I can't speak for the rest of the Church, but personally, I
like pissing people off and getting my point across using this
Dada-inspired method.
You may also have questions about cannibalism. I will refer you to our
website: www.paranoia.com/coe/.
Any other questions?

"Greetings.
We are not of this planet.
We do not understand
Your strange customs
Your planet's ecosystem
Is failing.
Your leaders deny this.
Explain.

Why
Do your leaders lie to you?
Why
Do so many of you
Believe these lies?
Explain
Your strange customs
Why
Believe these lies?

Save the planet.
Kill yourself.
Save the planet!
Kill yourself."
