Some suggestions:
Lets spill some blood. Rationality is serious business, a matter of life and death. Blood, toil, tears and sweat. Our rituals should reflect on that fact. (And blood makes a ritual so much cooler)
Anthems might be a more fitting Style to copy than jolly christmas songs. They hold great power.
have everyone pledge to the virtues of rationality: "I shall not cave in to social pressure. I shall search for flaws in my own arguments as much as for those in my fellow rationalists. ..."
Blood is overused, tears are pathetic, and sweat is gross. How about saliva?
P.S. (Yes, I realize that the Arminius's post was on a sarcastic side.)
Orgies might help recruitment....

It's been -OVER- ALMOST NINE MONTHS since -Light- Eliezer posted this; he's probably got a bunch of elite scientists working on it by now.
How he managed to do that is something I'd rather not think too hard about.
