(I know, I haven't published no. 1 yet. I'm still deciding about nosemining as a topic).
The scene: lunchtime, a school library. Three or four junior boys bustling around the other kids in the library, seeming to be very busy at some task.
Miss, do you want to join our religion?
Um, thanks, but no. Does it have a name?
Yup. Jacksonism.
Ah. And that would be because...?
His name (points to one of his mates) is Jackson.
Jackson and the other boys are asking kids to sign a piece of paper. Getting converts seems to be remarkably easy - no curiosity about, say doctrine?!
Ah. Tell me about your religion.
Well, if you have 200 people you have an official religion and if you have an official religion you can have religious holidays and then you don't have to come to school.
He grins, and heads off in search of more converts.
