(Bucky "Buck" Buckman, Pastor)
Have you ever wanted a Saint to be named after you (or after your cat)? Have you ever wanted people to seek guidance from you in your area of expertise? Have you ever wanted to publicly demonstrate feats of strength or air your grievances? Have you ever wanted to celebrate the sacrament of beer? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions then have I got a Temple for you: the FESTIVUS MAXIMUS TEMPLE.
WHAT IS FESTIVUS?
According to Wikipedia, FESTIVUS is a non-denominational, apolitical holiday to be celebrated by those frustrated or jaded with the commercialism and pressure surrounding the Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Kwanzaa season. See WIKI ENTRY. And, of course, if it is written in Wikipedia, it must be true.
WHAT IS THE FESTIVUS MAXIMUS TEMPLE (aka, "FMT")?
According to Wikipedia, the FESTIVUS MAXIMUS TEMPLE ("FMT") is the non-demoninational religion practiced by those frustrated or jaded with the commercialism and pressure surrounding all of the other (obviously inferior) religions in the world. FESTIVUS (December 23rd) is the FMT's primary holiday. See WIKI ENTRY. And, of course, if it is written in Wikipedia, it must be true.
OUR CATECISM
1. THE LORD CREATED BEER. AND IT WAS GOOD.
2. OUR MEMBERSHIP CREATES OUR HOLIDAYS. Clip HERE for details.
3. That's pretty much it.

And yet, despite the anticommercial sentiments of the holiday, it is being commercialized (albeit humorously). You can buy Festivus poles and all sorts of Festivus stuff now!
