It's called Hyþomism, named after the god, Hyþom. ill link the wiki i made, but i'll also include the basics:

The main inspirations are Christianity and Islam. It's monotheistic, and has a main prophet called Wliteþæarm, who fought against an empire called the Eld-Hydranian Empire. His people, the Joever/Joeverians, had been divided in tribes but shared the belief in a sole god. These tribes had a rich oral tradition, which were later combined and written in the first two holy books, the Ċiriċbōc and Sagaþbōc (Church-book and saga/story-book). He then wrote down the messages Hyþom sent to him in the form of visions in the Bodabōc (prophet-book). I won't write more, but you can find out more, including the history, on the wiki: https://asteracraft.miraheze.org/wiki/Hyþomism

Is there anyone who wants to help me out?

I'm making a constructed religion that I'm calling Altruistic Bokononism, which is very loosely based on Kurt Vonnegut's constructed religion he made up in the book Cat's Cradle called Bokononism. I really like Bokononism, because it's completely self aware that it's a constructed religion. One of the original Bokononism's principles is that it's based on "foma," which are harmless lies that make people feel better about themselves.

So, with Altruistic Bokononism (AB), I fully embrace everything in Bokononism, especially Boko-Maru, the art of "sole contact." But my focus with my conreligion of AB is embracing dichotomies, and living in "the space in between" dichotomies.

Basically, if someone else believes something, then I'll believe it... no matter what it is. But then I'll also believe its exact opposite, and turn that original belief into a dichotomy (or find the opposite dichotomous belief out "in the wild"). And I'll try to "world build" so that I can make a "world" or a space in my head where both sides of the dichotomy exist. And my belief is that doing that is the quickest way to get "inspiration" or ideas. And if you do that with multiple dichotomies, then you get even more ideas/inspiration/enlightenment, and then the path to ultimate enlightenment would be to embrace every dichotomy possible.

So basically, generating a bunch of cool ideas out of dichotomies is the whole purpose of my conreligion. I don't care if my religion is "true" or not. I just made it to generate a bunch of cool ideas.

If I were a conlanger, not a conreligion-er, it would be easy.

I know a bunch of conlangers, and so if I wanted to construct a language, then I'd have a huge support network. But I don't know of anyone else that constructed a religion, besides Vonnegut. And I don't actually know him... I just love his books and his philosophy and his message.

So, I'm wondering if anyone is interested in advising me or helprng me with my conreligion? It's still in a super experimental state right now, so I can't really write up everything about it quite yet for public feedback, because it's still in a super "raw," weird experimental state. So I'm hoping that someone here would be interested in hearing my more unfiltered ideas about it to give me feedback. Please comment or DM me if you're interested.

Or if you have any other ideas or advice for how I can productively construct a religion, I'd love to hear about it.

Galimulator is a galactic empire simulator game. I'll list the religions in the game and their descriptions as they are:

Immersion:

"There is one Deity, the Omniversal All-father or Spirit. There are three main Deity Aspects emphasized: Omniscience, x Omnipresence, Omnipotence. The holy text is called the Fundament, also called The Books Authorized by the Monarch Jacob. To join the religion, one must go through the ritual ceremony called the Immersion. The religion does not believe in a centralized religious hierarchy but in autonomous congregations. (Hence there is no Pope or equivalent in the religion) The religion believes in separation of church and state because of its individualistic and congregational basis. The religion believes in a coming galactic apocalypse or galactic transcendence or even of a universal scale. They call this "The Power Button" or "The Off Button"."

Skerczism:

"An ancient, long forgotten civilization was dying off. A man nam Skerczak, with hair the color of fire, came from the heavens and bestowed upon them the flame. This flame is to never be let extinguish and should be taken wherever they go as a symbol of their loyalty to the flame."

Pavels:

"Pavels, less of an organised religion, and more of a set of common threads of existence that have slowly converged together into one cohesive set of morals and ideals. The tale of an excavator whose wife left him for an aristocrat. A madman who sought to unify the world under the belief of a flat planet. The shipwright who built the greatest ship ever just for it to hit an asteroid. The hopes, dreams, ideals and thoughts of these people tell one story, one of insanity, compassion and loss that together fill the believers with empathy. In lieu of superstitions, it is the knowledge that one's actions have impacts on other beings that guides the believers. They believe heaven is a state where all beings are aware of the thoughts, pains and feelings of all other beings."

Skivx:

Not much is known about this religion.

Kozzmosisology:

"Kozzmo is the divine savior and guiding light of the kosmos. He made all for a reason and suffering for a cause. BeKoz is KOZ, he is before and after, The Almightily fluent one, The Knower of Knowing, the light of the Kandles. KozziMoto AchooZi."

Order of Purple Stones:

"As the light refracts through the giant artificial crystals that make up the walls of the temple, and the bathes the followers in a bright Purple Light, there wakes within them also a blinding understanding, that the entire galaxy must be painted in this light. The faint but precise and hypnotic vibrations of the stones placed at the center of altar speaks to the Mind oi the Master and instructs them all on what must be. All that matters, is the voice of the Purple Stones, and that all must hear it."

Simulacrum:

"Simulacrum is based on the idea that the entire Galaxy is merely a simulation. Everyone in it is at the whim of some supremely powerful, amoral and possibly sadistic being. The only way to be free is to find patterns of behaviour that overload and possibly break the simulation. This will lead to the cessation of the galaxy, and somewhat frustrate the being running it all, albeit at the expense of everything you have ever known."

Rationis Lumine:

"Faith and belief in things that cannot be observed, studied and proven is a horrific scourge upon the galaxy. Countless lives have been lost in wars because of baseless and false beliefs. It is imperative to the progress an purity of the galaxy that those mindless believers are purged, so that such horrors do not happen again."

Wheelism:

"The Great Wheel requires wheels to be built and rotated, lest it become mired in the cosmic sludge. In the beginning, the Great Wheel was still. There was a lone planet with a single sapient species and they heard whispering in the void, instructing them to build the very first wheel. The invention of the wheel awakened our god and the Great Wheel began to turn, seeding it with life. For a time, the Great Wheel prospered and it's people were happy, but then a heresy was spawned out of decadence and the wheel was abandoned by many. We, as the last followers of the wheel, will purge the heretics and restore the Great Wheel's gift, for doomsday will be upon us if the Great Wheel becomes still once more."

Pingoism: "The religion of Pingoism is a religion where followers worship birds..."

"...Flightless birds are considered beings sent down by the god of pingoism Eating products of birds especially flightless birds is extremely frowned upon. However eating chicken and turkey is considered acceptable due to the fact chickens and turkeys are considered lesser than birds. But most pingoism followers abstain from eating chicken and turkey anyways. Followers of pingoism range from fanaticals and just regular people. The average pingoism follower owns 1-3 pet birds which are most commonly parrots. However the more radical followers have on average a dozen pet birds and own more exotic birds such as ostriches and penguins. They form cults quite often. The cults of pingoism have heavily genetically modified carnivorous birds which are used to dispose of people who disobey the cult. Penguins are the most respected bird in the religion and are look at as beings who hold parts of the god of pingoism inside of them and are protected heavily. Areas controlled by pingoism give heavy crime sentences to people who mistreat birds. Cults of pingoism are looked down upon by regular followers of pingoism due to the fact that it makes pingoism look bad to outsiders. People that follow pingoism believe after death if they respected birds enough they will be reincarnated as a bird and if they are lucky enough they will be reincarnated as a penguin which is the highest honor possible. Also exotic or flightless birds are sent to sanctuaries if they are presumed to be in danger such as habitat destruction or climate change and other things that could be dangerous to them. Other birds can fly away from the danger and are mostly left to their own devices but are helped in the acquisition of food in the form of bird feeders and water in the form of water fountains outside residences of pingoism followers."

Someism:

"An anonymous here who only ever claimed to be Some Guy doing his job A man never known for the heroic deeds for which he gains admirers from across the galaxy. Those who follow his way appropriate the same anonymous features, albeit with their own personal markings to distinguish them from fellow Someians."

Sons of Ultrimar:

"In the eons before life as it is known, Ultrimar reigned supreme over all living creatures. A deity who desired only one thing - Constant, ceaseless and bloody war, and even after years innumerable Ultrimar's need for bloodshed burns as hot as the day he was spawned. The Son's of Ultrimal serve the hunger of their master."

I like some of these religions because their concept seems interesting. What do you think? Do you know any other (con)religions similar to them, including your own? I'd like to know

The New Erigian Empire is a less than 500 years old nation of humans located in the Erigian Basin, currently in the process of falling due to its own internal conflicts that culminate in "The Takeover", a coup that takes out the ruling, governing, and noble classes, and replaces them with a new setup. The empire is very highly against the use of magic for fear of this exact thing happening, creating their own downfall by disenfranchising the mages they were so afraid of.

The state religion is called the Faith of the Six, and is a warrior religion, reflecting the societal stance of the Empire.

Overview:

Polytheistic, 6 gods:  3+3, 2 parents (war), 4 children (good times & hard times). The gods of this religion do not exist within the world, and are merely a social construct made up by the people of the Erigian Basin.

The current Emperor is the embodiment of the god associated with their years ruling.

• 3 male:
  • Kadros, the father: God of War, Offence, and Expansion
    • During his times, wars are started, the empire attacks its enemies, or expands
  • Mirro, elder brother: God of Hard times, Suffering, and Destitution
    • During his times, famines, plagues, floods happen, but with little or no deaths
  • Anku, younger brother: God of Good times, Life, and Plenty
    • During his times, fewer people die, more are born, and quality of life is higher
• 3 female:
  • Menit, the mother: Goddess of War, Defence, and Violence
    • During her times, wars come to an end, the Empire is attacked, or shrinks
  • Aati, elder sister: Goddess of Hard times, Death, and Loss
    • During her times, deathly disasters happen, many die, and things are destroyed
  • Kerrid, younger sister: Goddess of Good times, Knowledge, and Progress
    • During her times, sciences and art flourish, and knowledge is expanded

Creation myth:

Kadros and Menit rose from the primordial chaos at the beginning of time. Both gods of war, Kadros the planner, and Menit the vicious, they fought and battled, fragments of their armor and swords flying everywhere. They eventually realized they couldn’t destroy each other, and rearranged the bits of their broken armor and weaponry into the land, and poured their own spilled blood together, making it into the oceans. Once they were done, they lay together, and Menit soon gave birth to a pair of twins; a boy and a girl. Kadros named them Mirro and Aati. Both children were beautiful, but terrifying as well, disasters following in their footsteps. Not long after them, Menit gave birth to another set of twins, and named them Anku and Kerrid. They were just as beautiful as their older siblings, and they were followed not by disasters, but by life and creation. Out of their parents’ dismantled armor and their shredded swords, the twins built great cities, mountains, the blood that was the oceans feeding the earth, growing forests and animals. The older twins brought destruction, but also a new start. With each city they leveled, with each mountain they eroded, there was place for something new.

Worship:

The Emperor is a despotic ruler, leader of both the state and the church, and is thought of as the embodiment of one of the six gods. People usually associate the male god to the emperor, but if the times during which they rule describe the female deity better, they will refer to the emperor by that name. A god may take multiple turns over multiple, consecutive Emperor|Emperors, but usually a new emperor is thought of as one of the other five gods taking a host. With each Emperor they possess/help, the gods themselves become closer to humanity, Erigian Human|Humans especially. Emperor|Emperors can supposedly ask previous emperors through the gods for help if they wish.

Afterlife:

Each deity has their own plane of existence where people belonging to them live out the eternity afterlife, or where they reincarnate from. The way in which one dies (in combat, in sickness, or in accident) determines which category of the six gods they get into. Their gender determines which of the pair of deities associated with the category they go to.

The Sivihdin Pra Dindi is the religion which the Dindeic people, in Kan Pra Dindi. It exists since a heck of a lot of time, and has blossomed a lot of philosophy. The main and sometimes argued to be the only one god is Dindi, the canine supreme being, which created everything. E Pinlonsivih is their holy book, and sometimes I consider to follow this religion.

Btw, Dindi just means supreme deity Din (Deity) + di (supreme, infinite)

Edit: It would probably be useful to explain their main beliefs.

First of all, all canines are holy, including wolves, foxes and jackals. Sometimes this is translated to dogs or considered to be only dogs, but actually all canines are holy.

Second, quite straight foward, if you question your ideas and morals and anything you think, you will have more correct ideas and morals. In Kanko Pra Dindi, this not only caused some to refuse Dindi (They kept the philosophy), but also are the basis for the scientific method. Ironically this religion became one that incentivizes scientific thinking, and is very welcoming to changing their beliefs (mostly?) with newly discovered information.

Third, something can not be completely good nor evil. Sure, a war might have gained you a lot of land and new population, but look at how many lives were lost. Not even Dindi is perfect, for example.

Fourth, just your average: Don't be a dick to others, but also, you should not ruthlessly destroy nature, and you should respect the work that was added for everything you use, want or need.

Fifth, this is a bit more hard to explain: The moon and earth are actually plants, that grew from one cosmic seed. The moon was the older brother that bullied earth, and life in those planets evolved to be like this. With the advent of the sun goddess, Dinmailomdi, the only thing the Bidinhe, or Bizi, can do to human is demon stuff, mind damage and control, except for the vampires.

The other 20 rules are minor rules. All of the rules are ordered by importance.

Bor-creator god-has a paintbrush that creates new things

Demon King-Evil twin of Bor, has a third eye that shoots lasers and sees the future

Sages- Children of Bor, there are six. They use Keys(similar to infinity stones) to rule the universe.

Treboranism turned a year old today. More posts coming soon, cuz I need to go to bed now. May Bor bless your life and may the Sages give you power!

Translation for Demonese(conlang for demons) speakers:

Hassa-Trevorisuk untim blan a'horta. Man'pos vayad, porfå i dinjar.

Demonese is still evolving, so it kinda sucks.

Libernośism comes from the micronation of Triougia, it is the belief that a deity named Guidé was the one to create civilisation, and his disciples, his representatives on earth, Libernoś, are meant to guide humanity to a better future, following 5 commandments

1.Libernoś are not superior to others

2.Libernoś must not desert their mission to lead others to a better future in Guidé’s name

3.Guidé will attempt to guide the Libernoś but cannot directly intervene, if you betray Guidé, you are on your own and you will be punished.

4.If you mislead your follows or manipulate them, Guidé will punish you.

5.Guidé will not call you to commit violence on others unless it is to defend a better future

Disclaimer: Valerism is not for artistic purposes but is a real religion.

Valerism is an abrahamic faith, we believe in the same god as christians and jews but we have given god a name which is Valer. Our holy day is Sunday as it is the Sabbath day. Our holy book is named the Ceara and it includes how the universe started and how earth was created and other stuff and also rules on many topics like how to pray how to run a church etc.

(This part could be offensive to some)

These are our Beliefs:

1. We believe in the one true god Valer.
2. All people are equal to Valer and should be treated as such.
3. We believe in traditional gender roles.
4. There are only 2 genders of the body but 4 genders of the soul.
5. If you are trans you can only use natural things to transition.
6. You can not circumcise your child.
7. You can have slaves but you must treat them as you would treat yourself.
8. We believe in the temple of the body, the temple of the mind and the temple of the soul each should never be changed or damaged.

9.You should fast on Christmas and Easter, you start the fast the midnight before and end the fast the midnight after. During fastings or if you feel like it on holy days you will get a box and put a treat in that box then you will close the box and set it under the Valerist symbol or on top of a grave then you wait and once the treat has molded and decomposed you will then wash out the box.

I have a massive update on the theological doctrine of Talya, the set of beliefs that I had made earlier, are heavily changed.

1. I do not believe that I am a prophet anymore, and Joseph Smith (Assaf) was clearly not a prophet either. However, I believe that Joseph Smith is still the Messenger of God, and I am as well. Joseph Smith, was a Disciple of Christ rather than a Prophet, and is not at all on the level of an actual Prophet like Moses or Abraham. The "prophets" mentioned in the Book of Mormon are also just Disciples of God. the Office they all had held and I hold currently is called the "Yahabodhiq" or the one who worships God in Hebrew. Plural it is called "Yahabodhiqa." Although it is true that Joseph Smith did refer to himself as the word "prophet" he did not mean to call himself a prophet on the same level as Moses or Abraham, there simply was not a better word to use at the time. Prophets can only be defined by the Bible and the Office of Prophethood culminated in John the Baptist.

2. With Unatheistic ideals, we have also accepted the possibility of the existence of aliens, but they are most likely shedim. A follower of mine has claimed to have seen aliens and has photo evidence.

3. The Name of the Movement, a person who follows it is called a Misnite Catholic, we intend to be apart of Roman Catholicism, we accept the idea of a Papal Figurehead but we deny Pope Francis as being a good pope, and he is corrupted.

This should clear up everything, a book is also being written, called "The Shanud" that will be published soon, it contains the theology of Talya. Mostly everything else we still believe in, the original post I will link here. https://www.reddit.com/r/conreligions/comments/11c4x4b/talya_a_joy_of_christendom/

The Talyatic Manifesto

​

Talya, or Yahabodism (God Worship) is not necessarily a religion, or a denomination, but it is an illuminated path to Worship Yah (God) and Yeshua ben Yah (Jesus Son of God). The goal of Talya is illuminate the idea that most Christian denominations are valid and their followers can still make it to Heaven (the exceptions are Mormons, Jehova Witnesses, and some others.) Talya does contain some controversial views and contains esoteric beliefs. Talya also believes that the founder of the religion, Prophet Andraus is a continuation of the Adamic Cycle of prophets that started with the first man, Adam, and continued throughout the history of mankind and even into the present day. Talya believes in many prophets but the most important prophets that have been revealed to humanity so far are Adam, Noach, Avram, Moshe, Dawid, Daniyel, Yohanan, Mormon, Smita, and finally Andraus. (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel, John (the Baptist), Mormon, Smith (Joseph Smith), and Andrew.) Talya strongly beliefs that a prophet's job is to preach the Gospel and spread the teachings of Jesus Christ. Talya also believes that Joseph Smith's message was corrupted by Jewish higherups and Freemason higherups, and that the theology of Mormonism was altered. Yah (God) would become so furious that He would wait another 200 years to send a prophet. (ALTHOUGH JEWISH HIGHERUPS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRUPTION OF MORMONIC DOCTRINE, IT DOES NOT JUSTIFY ANTI-SEMITISM AT ALL, ALTHOUGH JUDAISM MIGHT BE OUTDATED, VIOLENCE AGAINST NON-BELIEVERS IS NOT TOLERATED.)

(WARNING, THE REST OF THE CONTENT MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

Talyatic Theology:

Strictly Trinitarian: belief that Yeshua ben Yah (Jesus Son of God) is Yah (God) and that God is a Triumvirate.

Strictly Monotheistic: strongly denies the idea of multiple gods, and greatly denounces Mormonism for this reason.

Strictly Unatheistic: strongly denies the ideas of anti-religious doctrine. Denies the existence of aliens and believes the universe was made 5783 years ago, denies evolutionary ideas.

Talyatic Practices:

Pescetarian: strongly believes in the concept that materalisim has corrupted meat products as well dairy products. Only vegtables and fish are safe for consumption. It is okay to eat meat and dairy products once in a while but it is unhealthy in the modern age.

Sober: strongly believes that smoking, drugs, vaping, and being dependent on coffee can corrupt the soul. It is okay to enjoy caffiene once in a while in forms of coffee and chocolate but being completely dependent of coffee and energy drinks is not okay. Vapes, cigarettes, and other drugs are also forbidden.

(Somewhat) Unvaccinated: Talya believes that modern vaccines such as the Covid-19 Vaccine is unsafe to take, and that it is strongly recommended to not take it, but you can still be Yahabodist and be vaccinated. Other vaccines are mostly safe for consumption.

Talyatic Miracles:

The Necklace: The Prophet Andraus first recieved Prophetic revelation during the Morning of Greatness, where the Prophet prayed to God to reveal Himself for 7 days straight, for Christmas he had recieved a golden chain to wear around his neck, he wore it, but it was small, and could only be taken off with a clasp in the back of it. On the morning of the 26th, it moved off the neck while he was sleeping, and moved close to his Bible.

The Birds: In the chimney, there were really loud birds that were chirping and squaking. With permission from God, the Prophet silenced the birds in the Name of God, in order to show his younger sibling that God was real.

The Rain: One day, a friend of the Prophet, who was an atheist, said, "If God was real, let it rain this moment." The prophet was afraid to ask God to let it rain, because he feared it would not rain. Later that week, the prophet was walking around outside, thinking about what the friend had said, and regret filled his mind, regret to not prove to him that God was real. Just seconds later, it would start raining, It was God trying to remove all doubt in the mind of the Prophet.

That is the main theology of Talya or Yahabodism, hope it does not anger too much people, but this is what God has revealed. I can not appeal to the masses and appeal to God at the same time. Thank you for listening.

Is there anyone in this group?

The church of Chester's kids (aka chesterite church,cock,) is a religious foundation dedicated to the worship of the moradignian pantheon. The first God of humanity, chester the cat, is the god. The holy profit Emilia, preaches Chester's tales of taking it easy and love.

This is something that I started off designing in Rimworld, but I'm going to use this in the future for a DnD character.

Note: worshippers of this faith are called Diviners

The Narrative

A divinely blessed community worshipped the embodiment of creation, Ca'Rabust in its temple, and we're steadfast in their faith. A Great Being offered bodily comforts to the Diviners to soothe their daily suffering. In their comfort though, they become dependent upon the Great Being, who gained power over them and turned them against each other. Once the Great Being had shown its nature, the people saw that it was a cruel and terrible deceiver attempting to lead them astray from the holy path, that of devotion to all members of the tribe and carrying each others' burdens.

The Child Prophet Ro'ahad was born into the darkness, never having seen the light of day and so had the wisdom of Ca'Rabust strong in his mind. His voice was soft, but firm as stone with the burden of divinity. With these blessings, Ro'ahad set off to free the lost, astray worshippers of Ca'Rabust, rallying the people back to the cause of righteousness and the holy path. The Diviners dug a tunnel under the temple of the Great Being to plant pheromones, summoning huge insects which overran the Great Being, swallowing the bodies of those who dared to defend the usurpation of the Creator of Creation. Thus, the Diviners learned that the consumption of the flesh of the wicked was not wicked. The humans were driven underground when the insects set off to voraciously devour in all directions.

After the victory, Ro'ahad drug the Great Being through the tunnels to the caressing depths of Ca'Rabust's warm embrace in the deep, dark soil of the Cave in the Cliff. There, the Child Prophet stayed with his defeated enemy for ten days and eleven nights, praying for the cleansing of its soul. He had such a love for his adversary that when he thought it near death, he clawed away the robes from his chest and carved into himself with his flint dagger, offering his blood and pain for the salvation of his foe.

That night, his prayers were answered in a dream instructing him to gather sacrifice not from himself, but the Great Being. A cat spoke to him, "When the messenger of Ca'Rabust drinks of the sacrificial vessel, you shall know that it is enough."

For three grueling days, the Child Prophet cut the flesh of his prisoner and collected the blood in his only vessel, a cooking pot. A sacrifice of pain, blood, and hunger, it was then decided, for there was no other pot with which to cook, nor will to delay salvation.

Salvation did not come quickly though, and the Great Being was once again near death. With few other ideas, Ro'ahad made a final, desperate attempt at saving its soul, and abandoned the tradition of only drawing blood from muscle. He plucked the eyes of the deceiver from its skull with his dagger.

A cat as dark as night entered the cave as the blind prisoner wailed. When the feline slaked its thirst from the cooking pot, he knew it to be the messenger of Ca'Rabust.

That night, he had another dream; this time telling him to bring the Great Being to the beach at the mouth of the Cave in the Cliff to send it away. When bringing his saved enemy to the outside, he was blinded by the harsh light of the sun and finally understood Ca'Rabust when he saw that the Great Being wasn't effected by this terrible and destructive, all-consuming energy. He saw that it was the divine duty of the righteous to destroy their false sight of the physical world and hone their divine vision. And so, the Child Prophet Ro'ahad knelt down in front of the Great Being, staring into the devastating light of the horrible sun. Having been brought to righteousness and the holy path, the Great Being willingly obliged the charity of sacred ritual, cutting out his eyes and casting them into the sea.

Greetings!

3.- Don't do bad.

That's it.

It is an adjustment of pandeism, intertwined with the big bang theory, what I believe is a remnant of the first frequency, combined with the Hindu/Buddhist concept of Maya, collective consciousness, and manifestation. The idea is once there was nothing but a frequency in the void of space this frequency started the trigger of the big bang leading to the manifestation of matter. This frequency was also the first representation of consciousness. Due to all matter being a frequency/vibration essentially this frequency ("God") dispersed/grew. Now, this is where it gets a kinda new age and the metaphysical. The concept of Maya is that god created the illusion of the universe. Applied to this is that the universe's expansion and all matter is but an illusion and all that there really is the void of space. In reality, there is only consciousness/frequency and this is a derivative of the original frequency. Due to consciousness stemming from one point, it forms in a way a collective consciousness. We are all the same being masqueraded in many personas, shapes, and sizes. As neuroscience supports our reality is a hallucination of senses and what determines it to be real is the majority say, aka the crazy versus the sane. My idea of why we exist is loneliness and the illusion of companionship and why the universe is so in-depth is to expand the limitations of communication.

1. Lord though I may be but one person, thy grace, glory, and love make my actions feel like that of a thousand.

2. God requires me to live under the same roof as thee and thus i shall shelter thee and love thee as family

3. Give to the needy, starving, and huddled masses for the poor owe the wealthy nothing and the rich owe the poor everything.

4. The lord cares not if you believe in them or not but only that you love thy neighbor no matter what

5. Love thy gay neighbor for their love is as holy as any romance

6. When lost oh lord, I pray to thee for guidance and help. For you are my lantern in the darkness

here is some of the story for you as to why Ania and Aros was unfaithfull towards eachother

​

Ania and Aros is married, but Aros decided that he wanted more.

Thus Pheana was born. daugther of Aros and Enthys. This is the reason

Enthys is so distant, she can't move on from her shame.

Ania quiqly fuigerd this out and got agnry. To take revenge she had Hutarr with Therus.

Therus agreed to do so cause he is the god of hell and he was bored.

Now Ania avoids Enthys as much as posible, but she blames it more on Aros,

even thoug he feels really bad about it.

Book 1: The Ikebbe

In the beginning there was nothing. Tahwa, keti, puratichha and mekê were nothing. But, that nothing was something. Ikebbe. Ikebbe is all, but all is not, and can not, be Ikkebe. Ikkebe is the nothing that surrounds the universe that surround us. The universe is her child. And, only she is infinite. Her children have not lived forever. But she has.

Ikebbe has many children, but the first were Tahwa, Keti, Puratichha and Mekê. They were her first creation, the toil of her work. In the darkness she lay, and she though to herself the concept of light. And so it was, Tahwa was born. The next day, She though to herself the concept of the sea. And Keti appeared. On the third day, she came up woth the idea of life, and Puratichha was formed. On the last day, tired by her work, he drafted the idea of a planet. She called it Ëshwa. And, life on Ëshwa flourished, with Mekê as it’s guardian.

Soon after, Ikebbe became hungry. She longed for the food which was not yet alive. And thus coconuts were formed. Ikebbe kept them secret, and cradled her new child. She thought it was so prescious, she created a guardian to keep them safe. Her name was Ğetą. Ğetą kept her secret safe. One day, Ikebbe came home, and smelled a rich, delicious fragrance. She walked over to Ğetą. She asked Ğetą what the smell was. Ğetą replied ‘Ġorrya,’ to which ikebbe replied ‘Korya?’ For, Ğetą was cooking coconut curry, the true staple. However, at that time Keti walked in. “What is this delight that you have made for us?” he asked. Ikebbe asked him to leave. He rushed towards Ğetą and asked her why she wasn’t out helping them in the garden. Ğetą said to him, “If you wish you may cook.” And that is why men work indoors.

After enjoying their curry, Ğetą left the house. She came to a river, and picked up a long, pointed stick. Thrusting it into the water, she caught a fish. Due to its rainbow scales, she called it ‘Nehaketti’ – colour fish. Ğetą thoughto herself that she needed to write down all of these new words, so she invented writing. Needing to guard her precious invention, she gave birth to ‘Kim-Peng.’ She named this invention after her child, hence why we write in the kim peng script.

If I have 1 deity but many manifestations of that deity is my religion monotheist or polytheist...

Hey everyone here. I was told that this tool that I made would might be helpful here, so here it is.

​

"Crusader Kings III unintentionally created one of the best world building tools out there with their new faith system. I made a modifiable spreadsheet that utilizes their system of Tenets and Doctrines to help people create in-depth, realistic religions fairly easily.

Each religion has 4 tenets (the game only has 3, but that's due to gameplay reasons) which represent "a religion's most important rites, rituals and traditions." I have 53 different ones listed (with descriptions), plus room for 13 custom ones which you can use to reflect your world's specific features.

Doctrines "determine what is allowed and what is forbidden within a faith" and are separated into 4 main categories: Main doctrines, Marriage doctrines, Crime doctrines, and Clerical doctrines. Each doctrines has a number of issues in it, which there are selectable stances to choose from. Each stance is also described. Each doctrine category has room for custom issues to reflect your world's specific features.

Using a simplified version of CKIII's trait list, I also have selectable sections for Virtues and Sins, as well as a simple "Religion quick facts" section. I really think this tool can help people create compelling, in-depth religions fairly easily. I've used this tool in my own world, and it's really helped me flesh out religions I already made plus aid in the creation of new ones.

The the template page references the other pages. So if you change the name of something on those pages, the template page automatically changes to reflect those adjustments. That allows for easy changes to the names of tenets, doctrines, or traits. That is also the best way to utilize the "custom" sections.

If you want to create more than one religion, simply create a new page and then copy the "template" page to the new page (that can be done by hitting ctrl-a then ctrl-c on the template page. Then click the new page and hit ctrl-v.

I'm totally open to advice, suggestions, and criticism on how to make this tool even better."

Does it have sects, like the Twelvers of Islam, the Shauvism of Hinduism, and Pagan Cults?

Does it have branching off religions like the Abrahamic ones?

In the beginning, there was void. Then there was Elora. She said “Let there be light” and so there was. Within a second, particles began to form. Soon there were stars. But she was still alone. Thus, she created a family to keep her company. First, she made Eredan to be her lover. Through him she birthed Enu. And so the Elohim were born. Elora would create, Eredan would destroy, and Enu would preserve.

But that was not enough gods to rule the cosmos. She needed more. So she created the gods of chaos, order, power, courage, wisdom, knowledge, creativity, and perseverance.

The gods suggested she create gods of good and evil next, but none of them could agree on how to define either term. Then Elora had an idea. She scooped a handful of souls and sprinkled them across the cosmos, creating life. Over time, it spread, and grew more complex. However, they were mortals. Whenever they died, the gods would be able to judge them based on the actions they have observed them perform in their lives to determine on a case by case basis what is right and what is wrong. Then they would send the souls back to be born anew in a mind and body befitting of the life they had just led. This was the start of reincarnation.

However, the gods could not attend to every soul themselves. Thus, Elora created the Anubians, a race whose duty it was to judge the dead.

Eventually, a day will come when the universe ends. Just as Elora created it and everything in it, Eredan will destroy it and everything in it. He will kill all the gods, saving her for last, then himself. That is the fate of the universe: to come full circle. And yet it is said that those same souls Elora had scattered across the universe may be able to save it. Maybe it is not doomed after all.

I am making a world which has no humans, nor any humanoid species. In the place of humans, there are extraplanetary monkey-like explorers who, long ago, became trapped on the world's surface, a somewhat toxic environment for them. While exploring from ships in orbit around the planet, they began experimenting with hybrids of their own DNA with that of various native species. The result were lines of sentient, fertile offspring which could survive on the planet. The alien species ended up in a civil war among its members which led to the destruction of enough orbiting resources that they were forced to evacuate their ships. Some members of the non-interference faction relocated to a larger nearby lifeless world, where they have a permanent base and the ability to communicate with their homeworld. The interference faction created habitats for themselves on the life-bearing planet, relying upon the labor of their hybrids to supply them with their needs. Many of the hybrids ended up seeking freedom from their interdependence with the alien "gods," who eventually sought shelter in smaller habitats hidden underground. This remnant of the colonists still relies upon the help of a loyal minority of hybrids, for whom they are gods, and about whose origin and technology they have gained a modicum of knowledge. All that the surface-dwellers remember about the colonists is that they were gods who once occupied a giant tree, but that through their greed and folly, they caused the death of the tree, which fell to the planet and formed a long, equatorial chain of mountains and islands. Some gods who had wings were able to fly to the moon, and still intervene to help the surface dwellers. Some, however, became ugly, misshapen demons who live in the underworld and stir up trouble among the good surface folk.

Why do you create a conreligion?
