Pantheism

[Ehndras]

vonGenf, you completely missed the whole point of this being a discussion based on religious systems.

They're not supposed to be logical. At all. Ever. :P

Apparently there is/was a religion in BM titled "The Pantheist Path", which have nothing common with Pantheism or similiar beliefs.

It was on Atamara. Died a long time ago. 4+ years.

Nice, there are a few vague parallels with my own religious system, though it seems rough around the edges and not very well-planned, like it was rushed and then abandoned. It had potential.

I put up a thread for my Polytheistic Fantasy religion discussion, advice and suggestions appreciated. :)

A lot of religions get started and then fail. Most often because the founder essentially does an ass-pull out of nowhere with a new religion. So a piece of advice is to start getting IC support for your new religion *before* you pull the trigger. Make sure your realm will support you, or you will die fast.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to hit the Bay12 BM thread and go find out who it was in Bellua that said I'm welcome to join their nation and start a religion. :P

[JPierreD]

I said that. It's Riombara, though it may not be the only realm who would.

Ok, my char have got some IC support regarding pantheistic belief system. I would think of a cool name, flesh out the details and its views on other religions. Thanks for the fantasy idea!

[Ehndras]

Woo! If you need help with a name, let me know :) I took the cheap route and named my religion after the Patriarch god :P Its also the name of the language I created as a kid that I later adapted to the novel.

Something Fantasyish would be very nice, there are too many religions with 'official' sounding names ;)

"I will join the religion" is one thing, "I will help develop the religion" is quite another.

Finding converts is relatively easy. Finding people who will help you so that you don't do everything all by yourself is quite another. Those who say they will help are rare, and those who actually do are almost mythical.

QFT.

By IC support I meant people were interested about the religion. Like joining it, building temples kind of.

Still now the name is Path to Eternity. It has a panentheistic base, complete with deities, basically the embodiments of the forces of nature. Mixture of celtic, christian, hindu and mayan beliefs. It has some similiarities with Manifest Path that it considers abominations and hell spawns as potential threats, Verdis Elementum and Aetheris Pyrism (we have a demi/god, the embodiment of fire, who raze the earth when human minds brim with impurity, but is generally considered evil and not worshipped). I would start a new thread soon.

It actually considered deities to be potential threats, as any non-human entity. Not just monsters, undead and daimons.
