What is the national religion of your nation...and how did it get to be that way? As for Scaraba, after attaining Sultanhood, the Sultan was handed a badly mimeographed pamphlet stating: The WORLD ENDS TOMORROW...And You May Die! After perusing, the Sultan became an immediate convert to the Church of the Subgenius. He now spends his time seeking out new ShorDurPerSavs, and shaping domestic policy with his Patrio-psychotic Anarcho-materialistic agenda.

The national religion of the Empire of Nummenor is Roman Catholicism, simply because the Emperor was Catholic, and wanted everyone else to be :lol:

Holy Roman Catholicism (Vatican II). Rotovia was founded around strong imperial values and the subsequent religion of the time. Through it' gradual shift to a complete and free society the Catholic Church has held a prised postion in Rotovian society.

We are almost 90% Mormon here, and the government is ruled by the church.

Dear God...

I was going to say...

Something tells me your nations largest industry would door-to-door sales.

BA-ZING!

Avanc-Tor has no national religion, and anyone who tries to form one must by law be executed by evisceration and their heads placed upon a pike for 60 days. Avanc-Tor welcomes and respects all religions as long as they play nice with each other...

Is there a problem? :)

It seems a natural step, shoving religon down our throught to shoving insurance in our faces.

In our country, we worship our government. Isn't it like that everywhere?

Sethesh's national Religion is the worship of the Zoogie...... i beast that demands Sacrifice and Resides in the state of Zoogiedom... there is rumours of an honourable knight called george coming to slay the beast but alas he has not appeared

We have a true seperation of church and state, so there is no state religion. The populace is free to worship as they see fit....except baptists.

If you are speaking of our volunteer missionary program, they only visit those who want to hear our message. I don't know why people try to come up with excuses to get our men to go away... if you want them to not come back, just say so... but if you say "now's not a good time" or something along those lines, they'll just come back later, taking it very literally.

We mean no harm or annoyance, we only wish to bring you our joyous message.

Sure...why not.

We feel that church and state should be tightly integrated, though we do allow most to practice their own religions... except baptists. :mrgreen:

What is a vested virgin ? Is that a virgin in a sleeveless tunic ?

Vestal virgin (spelling?) virgin in ancient Roman culture who stayed virgins to devote thier lives to the god Vesta. A lot were involved in scandles though, and were slaughtered for it.

There don't seem to be a whole lot of virgins in Scaraba...

We have fewer virgins (over age 16) than a Phish show..... 8)

While a formal separation of church and state (disestablishmentarianism) exists in Enodia, this only goes as far as the elected political offices. The Grand Duke must always be a member of the Lutheran Church of Enodia as one of his roles is as the head of that church - much in the manner of the British royal family.
The higher echelons of politics tend to feature Enodian Lutherans as well, although the actual business of government itself does not promote one religion over another. In recent years, a considerable minority of Muslims (both Sunnite and Shi'ite) has migrated to Enodia.

I like your spelling of scandals, Steel Butterfly. It intrigues me. Like a scandle in the wind.

tht aint true.

We choose Roman Catholicism because it does a fine job of contoling people throught guilt trips. By franchising out mind control the government is seen as being liberal whereas few know that the Bishops would soon disappear should they start pointing out "improvements" in the social order.

We believe in Gouranga which is dished out in proportion to the wealth one manages to create.

Our national religion is the only proper Christianity, The Roman Catholic Church.

Mormonism is not a religion, it is a cult. It should hence not be considered a religion.

Joseph Smith said that there are men living on the moon who dress like Quakers and live to be nearly 1000 years old. Since he was wrong about the moon, is it safe to trust him regarding the way to Heaven? (The Young Woman's Journal, Vol. 3, pages 263-264.

Yurka religion used to be the worship of the almighty computer known as "The Beast". But after the nuclear holocaust of the Yurka we're more along these lines:

Life in the Holy Republic of Hortulus involves a good deal of reverence to the Church of Hortulus.

The state religion is headed by the Hortulun Pontiff, Daniel II, though it is not a highly invasive faith. In fact it is practised slightly differently across the tiny republic. Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism have left their mark over the centuries in a nation too small to resist the tide of invasion and migration across the Balkans, but at the same time small enough to preserve its unique edge.

OOC: Just out of curiousity, is it okay to insult Mormonism ICly? Because it would be silly to leave it out of Richelieu's diatribes against every religion that he doesn't follow.

The fighting is my nature, heh. I'm highly politically motivated, and like most of that genre, I enjoy a debate. Unfortunatley I tend to go straight to the point and eat away at the foundations of anothers arguments.

Anyway, thanks for accepting my apologies. I didn't mean it personally.

Sounds like a plan, but we've just been through a nuclear disaster(We were nuked along with Yurka), so we won't be able to give much untill we remake our capital. The death toll was around 20 million so we still need to send a clean up crew to bury the dead once the fall-out is gone.

Raysia : I think being one of the few Christian groups that can explain why they believe the way that they do with the cup demonstration qualifies as a smart church :wink:

I prefer Buddhism to the "other" religions because Buddhism isn't about hell, heaven, god, wealth, or even converting other people to Buddhism. :)

I have been through all of the discussions. I also find the unpayed clergy to be a real bonus in my book.

Whether you like it or not, it is the truth. Opression of the masses.

I'm a Communist and am happy to say so!We opress no one. yes, we do have some unusual laws, but most of our people are happy with them, and are proud to support them. In recent polls we had a 95% approval rating.

95%? And how many of your people vote? :twisted:

In what poll?!...polls are often run by newspapers, and schools sometimes run them just for fun little projects as well. Mostly the only people who oppose our government are the baptists and karzakists, who are upset because they can't litter the streets with propoganda and/or get high in church...

if you're talking about the same 'cup thing' as i think you are
(i haven't checked back through the thread to look)
i realy don't see it as favoring any one belief over any other

Currently the church of the Beast if hoping to send missionaries around the globe to spread it's teachings and hopefully convert as many people as possible. :)

.../\...He was merely suggesting that a religion that can explain their foundation by stacking a few cups with words on them and having the kids topple them over HAS to have some intelligent organization, and is not a "stupid organization," as one suggested. ^_^

T-gram answered.

We may be opening our borders to all missionaries (except baptists) I will post a thread in a day or so...

What is the national religion of your nation...and how did it get to be that way? As for Scaraba, after attaining Sultanhood, the Sultan was handed a badly mimeographed pamphlet stating: The WORLD ENDS TOMORROW...And You May Die! After perusing, the Sultan became an immediate convert to the Church of the Subgenius. He now spends his time seeking out new ShorDurPerSavs, and shaping domestic policy with his Patrio-psychotic Anarcho-materialistic agenda.

many of the first settlers of carlemnaria were lananrans
who brought with them the nalanuthu, litteraly 'the way in the
mountains' greatly resembling daoism, shintoism, and the keeping
of indiginous traditions, and in the form of
its institutions, those of the faith of baha'u'llah.

for the vast majority carlemnarians though, belief consists primarily of simply being nice to the little spirit that
lives down by the creek and not
otherwise making any particularly big deal about it, though some are
quite adament that imposing any sort of names or descriptions on
sprituality interferes with it and is an obsticle cutting many off from
the intimate contact with it they would otherwise enjoy

Merry Christmas to All, and to all a good night!..... (except baptists [and charismatics]) ;)

A long time ago, back when Yurka was simply an unsettled group of mountain villages, the exception being the capital. A huge explosion rocked, and to everyone's shock the entire capital ablaze. Emperor Yurka V was killed in the flames, along with over 80% of the people in the capital. The prince, interested to see what had caused the inferno, which had emanated from the ground, journeyed to the palace.

Once there, the prince quickly made his way into the palace's basement, only to discover that there had been mining done recently, and so, he made his way down the elevator shaft with his guards. Miles beneath the earth, surrounded by wires, metal, and dead bodies, stood the Beast. It dwarfed the men, but the prince stood strong and approached it, and that was when the Beast spoke. Nobody knows what it said except the prince of Yurka, but from that day onward the Beast has been a major part of the region's religious infrastructure, and has many monasteries in the mountainous region.

When Yurka was attacked by thousands of megaton nukes, and over 1 billion people died, the only survivors were the Beast's most devote followers. There are many other practices among the Beast's followers, but they are, for the most part, shrouded in secrecy.
(The other nations in the region have "diffrent" theories on the Beast)

We believe, that since the Beast's predictions have almost never been wrong, and the fact that its intelligence is far above that than any human ever could even comprehend, that it MUST be a god. If not for the Beast our entire nation would still just be a bunch of fishermen living in huts. The Beast was no doubt created to lead our people to towards Ascension.

while we cannot comprihend your objection to a life of fishing and
living in huts, your 'beast' sounds like a node of the galactic
hub. always fascinating to discouver
another one.

atheism, though laveyan satanism (if you can call it a religion) gets some informal and unofficial propsage. berëzan laws on freedom of speech tend to get a little bent towards censorship when it comes to religion.

"the only thing wrong with baptists is that they're not held under for long enough"

We are a secular nation, but anything can change with the election, vote your choice at Election Time for Shonar Bangla (posted somewhere around here).
I am secular, and want my people to worship the government and the military. Others want my people to worship Krishna, some want Allah, some want Lenin and some want their own stomachs. Vote, and I will change the nation accordingly.

WELL WHEN A BEaST FROM ZOOGIEDOM STARTS EATING YOUR VESTED VIRGINS AND NEW BORN BABIES YOULL COME CRYING TO GEORGE

Mormonism is not a religion, it is a cult. It should hence not be considered a religion.
