H+ a New Religion?

You need to go read this right away. This could be big. Let's observe a few things about H+.

The name is a bad choice. It sounds like a cross between 4-H and C++. And the H's aren't all the same part of speech.
They got in 4 good things to have (Humour, Happiness, Health, Hope) but for the last two had to switch to verbs and adjectives beginning with H (Help, Human). They couldn't use "Helpfulness" and "Humanity"?

Also I don't want to say this religion is a Scientology knockoff before I have all the facts but look at the evidence.

Made up words: Check (Also see "pons" tee hee)
Stupi
d founder: Check
So many books: Check
"Ach
ieving Simplicity": Check. Notice the spooky language here. "Simplicity Officer". And "Des Moins, U.S.A"? Yeah this is definitely a slave labor camp.
Also Edward DeBono has the same malevolent smile as L. Ron Hubbard.

For extra fun read the children's story linked to from the main page. Also be sure to help the author with his traffic light problem.

I think it can be argued that both "help" and "human" are often used as nouns.

Oh well I know they are but they are not used in the same way as the other four. Hope and happiness are both in the category of "personality traits it is good to possess" but "help" and "human" are certainly not.

I think it is pretty clear in this case that they were meant as a verb and a noun respectively.
