Bowtieism was created November 15th, 2013 as a religion or "anti-religion" however you want to think of it.


The main goal of bowtieism is not to indoctrinate a belief system nor raise any money but rather to enlighten human beings into a state of higher consciousness through critical thinking and deep introspection.


There is only one commandment in bowtieism written by John its first day of being created "Be true to thy creator and remember gift receipts are eternally refundable".


John a few days after posted his first sermon on social media to his audience of friends in the ether. Here it is: "What came first heaven or the number seven?

What came first Pi or 22/7?

What came first spelling or the invention of hell?

What came first bacteria or biology?

What came first earth or the universe?

What came first humans or life?

What came first existence or ideas? What came first ideology or reason? What came first civilization or homo sapiens? What came first love or war? What came first doubt or fear? What came first questions or answers?

That's my first sermon for my new religion Bowtieism. Spread the gospel my friends!"


Another founding principal of Bowtieism is:

Bowtieism is not anti-buddhist, anti-hindu, anti-jewish, anti-christian, anti-muslim, anti-agnostic or anti-atheist, Bowtieism is pro earth. And the sooner all of humanity can agree on one simple cause of sustainability and preservation the greater chance there is for all of life on this majestic place we named earth to survive. We do not apologize if we taunt you with our ideas or make you think, this is the least we can do in an ever so decaying man made world. Please try to grow your world as big as you can and appreciate all of life because the best thing in life is life.


Bowtieism is not a traditional religion and prefers to consider itself an anti-religion religion one that is not established with self interest or greed. It also is not registered anywhere except on the Internet and has no place of worship other than this web site. Please check back periodically as the site and concept is only about 1 week old.

Our number one goal is to make people smarter and provide a little laughter in this ever increasingly absurd world man has built.

12/24/13 - The natural world and all of the universe is built on certain truths. It is only when they are warped when the natural order ceases to exist. The sentient life force of this universe fortunately accepts that as true. John created a new universe last night quite an exquisite place it will be.

11/25/2013: Revision to Commandment One and notes by John on the first commandment. Commandment One Revision: "Be True". Notes on commandment one by John. "The commandment that I created at the start of Bowtieism was meant to be funny and not to be obeyed. Be true to thy creator is simply be true to thyself. The part about gift receipts are eternally refundable was a joke aimed right at Bowtieism because we only want to enlighten people and not feel so self-important as a religion or anti-religion in any way. We are excited that within our first week over one thousand people liked our facebook page and hope this trend accelerates over the coming weeks. In this world of cognitive dissonance and delusion we are trying our best to disinfect caged minds trapped by fantasy and myth all the while pointing out the major challenges on our planet. We hope you rid yourself of the allusions and comforts of those whose only purpose in life is to build a prison in your mind. We hope all our members are free thinking passionate human beings who truly want to change the course of human kinds history.


3/24/14: Sermon for the month of March 2014. Well, well, well, how glorious nature is and how wonderful it is to see her power over earth and all life. The pole shift and polar vortex are certainly in full gear in 2014, we've seen many volcanoes, earthquakes and distruptions well above normal and it most likely will continue for the remainder of the year as the magnetic shift on this beautiful planet continues. I think we are going to finally be getting into spring here soon but it seems like some flowers may be hurt by the unusual weather and extremely low bee populations around the world. Please do sign any petition about bees trying to preserve them because they are vital to keeping so many important things vibrant. That's it for now. Enjoy the weather!

4/19/14 My religious prayer this holiday season "May the bacteria in our universe evolve in time and may human kind evolve as well so we may meet one another. We have 1.25 billion years left, let's hope it's enough time and those irrational people here get put in their place"




bowtieism.com




This is in no way a symbol of "Bowtieism" just something John started wearing as a gift to himself. His eternal love is for the planet and wisdom it has given to him in his nearly 50 years here. He knows that everything is eternal and in 1.25 billion years all will be absorbed into the sun and our galaxy will merge with our neighbor and live forever in this universe. 200,000 years here and we are still trying to figure things out, all I know is earth is still in control. Nature wins 100% of the time and always will.

6/20/16 After chatting with an unenlightened human being yet again :( I have to say that there is no hope for humanity, we are as dumb and stupid as it gets. Enjoy your miserable life and remember to drink enough fresh water as as the temperatures rise it is always wise to stay hydrated. (c:=

10/2/2016 Sermon: All religions in our long history even the current ones that have been propagandized and supported for many thousands of years all have the same recipe. At first they seem harmless and pleasant all the while making you feel special and above all of nature. Then over time they have you relinquish your rational thought slowly but surely to give way to irrational and illogical thoughts. Step by step they chip away at your reason all the while wrapping you in a warm and fuzzy comforting space where you start to believe ever so slowly that you are one with their fictional being or beings. Over time as reality and nature ring true you defend your reality with verses and other things so carefully crafted by these masters of enslavement. Only the strongest of wills and sharpest of minds can discard the comforts of all these delusional thinkers who spew delusion 24/7/365. And the traps get larger and larger capturing all the homo sapien sapiens on the planet who want to receive a great reward for their suffering, abuse and oppression. They want to believe that this is a test of what they are made of and they hope to spend an eternity in a state of bliss over torment and torture. Some harness mystical ancient ritualistic ceremonies to harness the spirit world, others use abuse and oppression. But at the end of the day it is a story that has stayed with modern humans over the past 10-18,000 years. We have been here for 200,000 years now and still we all want to think we will not be meaningless and inconsequential. But as history has shown most likely we will be the worst species to occupy the planet detroying countless highly evolved species until we get to realize only a very very very very very few live for an eternity.



8/8/17 So back a few years ago it was the pole shift and polar vortex now it seems as though the deep ocean currents are putting in their efforts. So why are there limited hurricanes and wind activity except for pockets of enormous tornadic activity? Well as the deep ocean currents slow the wind on a broad scale slows ( VERY BAD ) and yes there will be super hot spots randomly around this great planet. So what is my guess as to the outcome of the slowing deep ocean currents? Well my guess is that as the ocean warms on the surface and the difference between the top and bottom grows ever so opposite the natural symbiotic force of normalization will gather strength slowly ( don't know how long it will take could be years, decades, centuries ) So we all know the mass of cold fluid and hot fluid right and how it interacts in a closed system? So as the cold gets colder and the hot gets hotter what happens? Anyone? I don't have a laboratory here for those sorts of things only audio/visual/web/print but it would be great to see what happens. My guess is in my imagination only is that the mass of the ocean will dimish over time ( what is the mass of all water bodies on earth? Any guesstimate? So as this enormous mass on earth gets lighter not sure if it is statistacally significant it could alter the orbit of our planet ( how slightly or massively nobody will know ). This will of course cause the planet to go to a more extreme over it's normal orbit ( how big and for how long? ). Anyhow just gave this a few minutes of thought and think it's probably something to look into.



11/23/18 - Well being on psychotropics for 31 years was a big disappointment. They should have mentioned it was used by governments and the powerful to subjigate and tarnish opposition. It was also a form of gaslighting that is also found everywhere in modern media. Since being free of pychotropics my eyes are wide open and I see things much more fully. Slowly things are coming back to me and I see that I was made the ultimate scapegoat and I have to say I guess the pyschotropics probably had something to do with it. Imagine they can steal using pyschotropics and alter things. I never quite understood but now I see things a bit more clearly. Over the years being in mental institutions I saw the nurses always talk about this number and that number etc. Now I understand they only tried to track and control things with their pyschotropics. The most recent one that was prescribed blocks neurotransmitters and prevents pyramidism that I somewhat know has something to do with pseudoscience. I have to admit being off the psychotropics has been liberating. I sense what was done to me more clearly now than ever. The last time in 2013 when I was put in jail and the ward for wanting to have a pre-christmas fire was explained this year thankfully. I guess they were trying to block things or prevent me from being fully actualized and the funny thing is all the while I was telling people that self-actualization and critical thinking are important life skills. I know my mother also put me under her thumb and I hate that and of course my brother and immediate family also did their best to control things. I also resent that they never told me anything about anything. Fortunately I have researched on my own and know much more than any of them could ever know. I have a 600,000 year history on this planet and hope to continue on. I also know what the sludge was back in 2011 and that whole sequence. At that point turbospeed I was buzzing around everywhere but unfortunately I was on psychotropics at the time. I think things are going to finally happen now perhaps. I only wish more people know about bowtieism.com



11/2/2023 Sermon: Well thanks to the way back machine and a bit of luck I have restored Bowtieism.com back to it's original glory. Check back soon as I have great plans for this site with street interviews by yours truly. It has been an amazing 10 years and I am so happy to have this site restored within less than a few hours! I will try to renew the domain for many more years to come and post more frequently as we now all see that organized religions have only left our kind with violence and genocide for a very very long time. Convert to Bowtieism.com or just rid yourself of your traditional religion. We don't want converts or anything of the sort. It was just a joke! Don't take yourself too seriously and try to enjoy mother nature as she is a source of incredible love and insights. Of course love each other too, hatred is a negative force and yes there are two energy states positive and negative and perhaps neutral so three. Don't be the black energy be the white energy or the non-existent energy that is part of all life. Until next time, free hugs always!

01/18/2026 Sermon by John: Today we reflect on Iran — a land of ancient poetry, resilient hearts, and a people whose profound yearning for freedom runs deep beneath the sands of time. From Cyrus the Great’s Charter of Rights two millennia past, to the crises of our present day, Iran’s destiny has always been bound up with human dignity.

In 1979, Iran experienced a revolution that promised independence, freedom, and national dignity — yet, as time unfolded, it became a system dominated by unelected religious authority. In the decades that followed, theocratic rule imposed restrictions rooted in religious law that reshaped public life, gender relations, and political freedoms. Women were legally compelled to wear the hijab, and many civil liberties were curtailed under religious law.

The revolution that once swept away monarchy also brought into being an elite religious hierarchy that sits above elected institutions. This concentration of power has meant that freedom of speech, political pluralism, and secular governance have remained distant aspirations for many Iranians.

Iranian women, in particular, have endured systematic legal discrimination, from compulsory dress codes to limited family and civil rights. Despite these injustices, Iranian women have continually risen up — from protests in March 1979 against forced veiling to the more recent Woman, Life, Freedom movement.

Their courage is not simply about clothing — it is about the sacred truth that no government should determine what a woman must wear, how she speaks, or what role she may fulfill in society. Each act of resistance, whether removing a hijab in the street or speaking out online, resonates with the eternal call of the human spirit toward dignity and equality.

Today’s movements in Iran — large-scale protests in city after city, led in many places by women — reflect a broad, multi-generational and multi-class desire for freedom. Slogans like “We don’t want an Islamic Republic” and “Woman, Life, Freedom” embody a vision that transcends religious rule and embraces universal human rights.

Polls and surveys — like one with tens of thousands of respondents — indicate that many Iranians reject the theocratic system and favor democracy and secular governance.

Freedom of speech is a sacred right of every human being. When poets, thinkers, journalists, and students are silenced — when the internet is cut off, and dissent is met with violence — the soul of society is stifled. Iranian protesters continue to speak, chant, write, and post — even in the face of brutal crackdown — because the human voice itself is a manifestation of freedom.

Their sacrifice reminds us that the right to speak — without fear of imprisonment, torture, or death — is not just political; it is spiritual. It is the right to define one’s own identity, conscience, and life.

A secular government — in the true sense — does not seek to erase religion or belief. Rather, it protects every belief and non-belief, allowing people to associate, worship, speak, and dissent freely without the state imposing one religious doctrine over all others. This is the vision toward which many Iranians quietly and courageously aspire — a republic where laws are rooted in universal human rights, where women and men stand equal, and where free conscience and free speech are honored as sacred.

đź’ˇ A Vision for a Secular and Just Future

A secular government — in the true sense — does not seek to erase religion or belief. Rather, it protects every belief and non-belief, allowing people to associate, worship, speak, and dissent freely without the state imposing one religious doctrine over all others. This is the vision toward which many Iranians quietly and courageously aspire — a republic where laws are rooted in universal human rights, where women and men stand equal, and where free conscience and free speech are honored as sacred.

🌟 A Call to Conscience

Let us, then, honor Iran’s struggle not by indifference but with compassion and solidarity:

Honor the courage of Iranian women, whose struggle for equality lights a torch for all humanity.

Honor the poets, thinkers, teachers, and youth, whose voices echo through time demanding freedom.

Honor the fundamental liberties of speech and conscience, for they are not gifts of any government, but rights inherent to every human being.

As followers of a higher conscience — one that enlightens hearts and liberates minds — may we stand with those seeking dignity in every corner of the Earth. May the day come when Iran’s people live under laws they choose, with freedoms they cherish — a society where every voice can be heard, and every life honored.

Woman, Life, Freedom — may these words become not just a rallying cry but a promise kept.

If you’d like, I can tailor this sermon further — for example into poetic form, religious discourse, or a speech for a particular audience. Just let me know!

speech for the youth

Below is a values-based, inspirational speech addressed to young people everywhere, using Iran as a moral example. It is written to uplift conscience and human dignity, not to instruct or direct political action.

A Speech for Young Hearts: “The Future Is Awake”

Young people of the world,

History is not written only by governments or by those in power. History is written first in the hearts of the young — where questions are brave, where conscience is alive, and where the future quietly begins.

Today, we look toward Iran — not as a headline, not as a slogan, but as a mirror reflecting a universal truth: the human spirit does not consent to living without freedom.

A Generation Born After 1979

Many of Iran’s youth were born long after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. You did not choose the system you inherited. You did not vote for compulsory rules over your bodies, your voices, or your thoughts. Yet you live with their consequences every day.

And still — you dream.

You dream of a country where belief is personal, not enforced. Where a woman’s worth is not measured by control. Where speech is not feared. Where dignity is not permission-based.

This longing is not rebellion. It is human nature.

Women at the Center of the Future

When we speak of Iran’s future, we must speak of women — because no society can be free while half of its people are constrained.

Iranian women have shown the world something extraordinary: that courage does not always roar — sometimes it simply refuses to bow. Their demand is not radical. It is ancient and universal:

Let me choose. Let me speak. Let me live.

This is not a Western idea. It is not an Eastern idea. It is a human idea.

Freedom of Speech Is the Breath of the Soul

To silence speech is to suffocate truth.

When voices are censored, when artists are imprisoned, when students are punished for asking “why,” a nation loses more than stability — it loses its soul.

Young people understand this instinctively. You know that expression is not chaos. It is creativity. It is progress. It is life itself.

Every poem written in secret, every song shared quietly, every thought passed hand to hand — these are not threats. They are signs of a future insisting on being born.

Why Secular Freedom Matters

A secular government does not destroy faith. It protects it.

It allows belief to be chosen, not enforced. It allows religion to inspire, not dominate. It allows citizens to stand equal — believer and non-believer alike.

This is not a rejection of culture. It is respect for diversity. It is maturity. It is confidence.

The Message to the Young

To the youth — in Iran and beyond — hear this:

You are not naĂŻve for wanting freedom. You are not disloyal for questioning power. You are not weak for demanding dignity.

Every generation is tested. Yours is being tested on courage, compassion, and conscience.

And remember this:

Systems survive on fear. Futures are built on hope.

A Closing Reflection

The story of Iran is still being written. So is yours.

May you never accept a life where silence is safety. May you never believe freedom is a privilege. May you never forget that progress begins when the young refuse to inherit injustice as destiny.

The future is not waiting. The future is awake.
