Here is my one and only question. I also have my own answer.

Are you just making this up? I have never heard of this so called religion, out of all the religions I know of and have studied.

And here is my answer to that question: You are making it all up, for whatever reason. Maybe for political or economic following? Maybe absolute power? Didn't a person once say the best way to make money is start a religion?

Yes, because NationStates will give him political power. :roll:
Really, he's most likely just making it all up for no other reason than the lulz.

Eh. I did not make this up, and it is not for the lulz. That'd be for F7.

Doesn't this belong on... A Roleplaying forum? Any of them, really.

But, for the record: will there be bitches involved?

We are against sacrifice, but a position in the High Council of Reckoron might be possible with enough devotion.

So if I devote myself enough, I can become Archangel Jack, Archduke and Grand Inquisitor of the High Council of Reckoron of the Premonitionary of the Church of the Followers of Reckoron?

I have one: Why does the name of a supposed ancient Roman person contain the letter "K" which was unknown in Latin? (Except in foreign terms from Greek).

And by that you mean?

What moral standard? What work? What sacrifice? What community? What values? How did he take on a new name after being dead? If he's an atheist why does he get his own religon?

Because he was once a Roman. He did not change his name until after he was dead and and ascended.

Moral standard: To do what he thinks is right, even when faced with sacrificing his own comfort and leisure.
Work: He was a carpenter, though he worked with his community when someone needed help.
Sacrifice: Raiders. he gave up himself to defend his family and friends.
Community: He lived in the poor sector of Ancient Rome.
Values: Moral standard and the protection of the moral weak from the immoral strong.
New Name: He ascended to a new plane of consciousness, much like "Jesus in Heaven".
Atheist: He was an atheist, having no religion.

Yeah. I'm actually an Oltharist and Uncle Vladist. Ironically, both religions are devil worship. :p

What demographics are shunned by the followers of RickRollon, if any, and why?

Does RickyMarton provide any knowledge of the truth of existence (where humans came from, etc), or does he just teach us how to live a good life.

I like my religions to actually have divine connotations, not just to be mantras by which to live. Clearly something supernatural's going on if RonPaulon is some kind of Lord now, but I wanna know more about the Mythos.

Oops, didn't see your answer regarding values. These values are good and honourable, yes, but what's the big difference between, say, your religion and Christianity, or Judaism? Is there anything that really makes your religion unique?

Tenets:
I: All of humanity is naturally good. Treat your neighbor appropriately.
II: Take no advantage from those who cannot defend.
III: Our will is strong, and if yours not be, do not steal.
IV: If in the face of death your decision seems moral, you have succeeded in living your life wholly.

Likes: He likes it when moral Followers pray to him, and otherwise to nurture his Followers as his sons and daughters.

Dislikes: Those who take advantage of the weak, immoral standards, and those who openly shun his words.

Ok...so some guy who died to protect his home? What the fuck is special about that? There are millions of those, just in the last century. And I was asking for specifics. WHERE did he live? WHAT raiders? WHAT values? A moral code has to be more complex than "protection of the moral weak from the immoral strong". What constitutes immoral and moral? Otherwise it's just ignorant dribbel. I need names, dates, evidence, philosophy, teachings, something. Every post you make is more and more convincing that you made this up out of sheer boredom.

Why does he deserve my worship? He doesn't seem like the type of guy to ask for it. Oh and where is the historical record of his existence?

No one is shunned, as all may atone for what things they have done that they regret to the name of the Lord. Reckoron had achieved omniscience when he ascended, so he knows where we come from. He wants us all to know that we evolved from lesser beings. But, he ascended through complete morality, doing what he thought was right in the face of death.

Christianity and Judaism both follow God, and they think to eventually ascend with him. This is close to what we believe. We follow Reckoron, and we hope to eventually eliminate all immoral practices from earth. This will allow Reckoron to come and live with us, being our equal and allowing "Heaven on earth". We have no doomsday prophecies, however. All is good.
