Public Service Announcement #897

Postby Haggis_McMutton on Mon Feb 25, 2013 5:03 pm

The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is a god.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Philip_Movement
The Prince Philip Movement is a religious sect followed by the Yaohnanen tribe on the southern island of Tanna in Vanuatu.
The Yaohnanen believe that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the consort to Queen Elizabeth II, is a divine being; the pale-skinned son of a mountain spirit and brother of John Frum. According to ancient tales, the son travelled over the seas to a distant land, married a powerful lady and would in time return. The villagers had observed the respect accorded to Queen Elizabeth II by colonial officials and concluded that her husband, Prince Philip, must be the son from their legends.

...

The Resident Commissioner suggested that the Prince send them a portrait of himself. A signed official photograph was duly dispatched. The villagers responded by sending a traditional pig-killing club called a nal-nal. As requested, the Prince in return sent them a photograph of himself posing with the weapon. Another photograph was sent in 2000. All three photographs were kept by Chief Jack Naiva,[1][2] who died in 2009.[3]

After reading the wiki--and especially the exchange of gifts, I feel kind of happy for followers of PPM.

True. How many gods can claimed they have so directly answered the requests of their people?

+1 for Prince Philip

And how many believers can say that they've actually met their god, actually talked to him/her, and actually received a gift from that god?

+1 followers of PPM


All of other religious followers and their god(s) ain't got nothing on 'em.
