That doesn't change the fact that your new religion isn't notable. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. It's more or less a neologism, which are not allowed to have Wikipedia articles unless they have had significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Your article did not make any such assertion. Any content on Wikipedia must be verifiable, meaning it cannot contain any original research or personal stories. Furthermore, Wikipedia isn't a webspace provider. I can see you've got your own website - I'm afraid that you're going to have to stick with that for a while, as you cannot create a article here on that subject until it meets our notability guidelines. I can see that in addition to your AfC submission being declined, your article has been created elsewhere and been the subject of an Articles for Deletion debate. I suggest you look there for more information about why your article is not acceptable. That, and the policies I have linked above should provide all the information you need, but if you still have questions about this, then please let me know, and I will try to help you out.

 * I am always glad to be of assistance. I apologize that my "ignorance" may have clouded the issue somewhat, but that may be partially due to the fact that I try not to word my communications in such a manner that seems condescending. I assure you, that while our apparent contradictions may seem to follow the rules of a child's game, that we hold verifiable truth and knowledge above all other concerns, as should any project of this nature. I'm sure you can sympathize with your recent troubles in getting an article written about "Bobology". Anyway, I am, as I said, happy to help, and wish you good editing, as always.
