Hello, everyone. As it seems it's that time again when everyone shares their religious ideas and such, I've decided to make my own blog about a religion that EpicArtifex and I were recently attempting to form. This is a fairly new one, but I think it's looking pretty good so far even if isn't quite an organized religion yet. Keep in mind that it's still in the works though, and so instead of this being in Educational I've decided to call it a Preview of what's to come for this religion. There might be a few holes, but they'll be patched up later on. Just bare with me here and keep an open mind.
Now for the usual things included in religious blogs; Blah blah blah, my religion, blah blah blah, I'm not saying yours is wrong, blah blah blah, but mine is right, blah blah blah, I may be saying any other beliefs are evil and terrible, blah blah blah, but I still look good because I say I respect you even though I don't, blah blah blah.
Anyway, some of you may remember a blog I wrote some time ago about how nothing is real and everyone is actually EpicArtifex. That's the basic premise for this religion, Fexism, or Fetixism, as some have begun to call it. "Some" essentially being just me.
Moving on, there are currently no strict rules in Fexism. Just generally try to be a good person. You don't even need to worship our creator, the drifting space cloud EpicArtifex (Also known as Thomas the Tinkerer, a reference to his train-like strength and determination in having intelligently created the illusion we live in day to day.)
About the only real rule is more of a bonus than something you must morally be bound to do; every Saturday is cheesecake day. You have to eat cheesecake at least once a week, usually on Saturday, but again we're really not that strict about this. As long as you try to have some cheesecake of any kind every week or so you have nothing to worry about. But even if you don't, there aren't any consequences other than you just going without cheesecake. Like I said, we're not exactly an organized religion.
You see, in Fexism we do not believe in a life after death because we're just figments of the imagination of a semi-sentient cloud. Also, Arty simply could not care less about what you do with your life as long as you're not out actively doing harm to others.
If you'd like a more defined religious situation, you could adopt the slightly more strict sect of Fexism mentioned earlier; Fetixism.
Fetixists within Fexism have very few rules to follow, and they are as listed:
- ALWAYS have cheesecake on Saturday. You may have more on other days of the week if you wish.
- You must adopt a chant based on your own shortcomings which your whisper under your breath when alone. This chant is known as your Fetix, and when someone asks what your Fetix is you must sum it up in one word. E.G. "What's your Fetix?" and if you lack money you say "Money". You may choose to then wink at the asker if you'd like.
- Any non-Fexists must be treated as evil witches, as is done within any other major religious following. That's not to say that this religion actually states other beliefs are evil; it doesn't. It's only an unwritten rule that the majority of the followers must act as if any other ideas are evil, be it out of the followers not actually understanding the religion or otherwise. As with any other major religious following.
- This last one isn't exactly a rule made by the creator, Thomas the Epic Cloud, so much as it is my personal idea, as the prophet of Fexism, of what Fetixists should do; we must consume the flesh of the nonbeliever witches. Once again, we're not that organized.
Arty has specifically stated he does not approve of the consumption of neither human beings nor anthropomorphic creatures in general, and that witches are poisonous and thus should not be eaten. I think we can get around that though by first mutilating the witches to the point of no longer being anthropomorphic. Still, Arty says he frowns on that, but hey, who knows better? The creator or me, his prophet? Me, obviously.
So that's about it. That's what we have planned so far. We're not really an organized religion.
