6 residents showed up for the church of LOTU first meeting in SL
On January 11, The Podcast Network’s (TPN) Cameron Reilly held the first church meeting for a new religion he created called the Laws Of The Universe (LOTU) at the TPN HQ [SLurl: Yeongheungdo 108, 57, 62] and he reports that six people showed up.
Cam explains what LOTU is about:
“LOTU” stands for the “Laws Of The Universe”. The idea is that this religion, this church, will be fully based in science and critical thinking. It will not worship any mythological deity but will respect, and try to interpret, the laws of the universe as delivered to us by the latest scientific research. LOTU will also endorse the United Nations Charter on Human Rights. Unlike every other religion on the planet today, LOTU will not condemn people who do not agree with us to an eternity of torture and vilification. LOTU doesn’t care what you believe. LOTU respects your right to believe whatever makes you feel good.
I decided to stop by the TPN HQ and see what was happening. The first thing I saw is the TPN sign and a sci-fi like structure with a video screen pictured atop this post. On the video screen would you expect a video of the recent sermon delivered? Perhaps something about the church of LOTU or TPN?
Not unless the preacher is Brianna Banks. I couldn’t find anything about LOTU at the TPN location in SL. Having porn videos showing on the video screen doesn’t bother me. After all, several of the VTOR authors either currently are or have been adult webmasters, but the presence of the vids did make me curious if LOTU has something to do with the adult business? Does it?
Or is this strictly for the entertainment of virtual TPN passerbys and has nothing to do with LOTU? I have Cam on my Twitter friends list, so I dropped him the following direct message:
Curious what the tiein is between streaming porn vids at the SL TPN HQ & LOTU, if any? Where is the LOTU stuff at your SL area?
Will update this post when/if Cam replies. Of course he’ll also have the comment section below to explain.

Oh my Lotu! I did know there were porn channels on the TV unit I bought (part of the package) but I don’t know someone had turned them on. No connection between porn and lotu but I can tell you that lotu has nothing against sex between consulting adults or pornography made by consulting adults. As long as human rights aren’t being violated, lotu is happy with porn.

oh and where I wrote “consulting” read “consenting”. That’s what happens when I blog before coffee.
