Cult of Bloodmoon

[Anaris]

I didn't read the whole thread.

But would Dunkontology be a good precedent here? Didn't they worship donuts or something?

They were on EC, and, from what I could tell, widely considered to be another "stupid religion" without any real attempt at being serious. So...not really the kind of precedent anyone here would likely want.

Oh aye I didn't mean "good precedent" as in "it's fine because it happened before," but "good precedent" as in "fitting example." I couldn't remember what happened with Dunkontology exactly.

[Indirik]

Dunkontology was centered in Yssaria. When Caligus killed Yssaria, their religion (Sanctus Acies) killed off Dunkontology.

Idol worship happened in Europe. Maybe fruits are just eddible idols?

We have every intention on being serious. If anyone other than myself came up with this everyone would be fawning all over with interest. As soon as I do or say something the attack dogs come out. Indirik came in swinging with negativity, he didnt come in say " oh interesting idea sounds cool, but maybe we can work towards developing SMA with the religion, you know when you got time etc, cuz I know you are moving your house today and you are driving a car full of !@#$ through the rockies today to Alberta, but cool ok so Glaumring lets talk, lets make this a great working idea"

Instead I get " wow glaumring you !@#$ing !@#$%^& waffling !@#$ing fag why do you do SMA your idea sucks, lets get his idea banned from Dwilight, go somewhere else and play..."

He didn't say it at all like that and wasn't trying to be a jerk but be serious thats why he made the "What makes a religion SMA?" thread.

This is a childish mischaracterization.

Have you ever considered the possibility that there isn't a massive conspiracy against you, and you either have !@#$ ideas / don't present your ideas well? I think the latter is far more likely than the former.

[Glaumring the Fox]

My mistake was posting here at all.

[Lefanis]

Have you ever considered the possibility that there isn't a massive conspiracy against you...

This reminds me of operation Psyblock. Good times  ;D

There is only one problem with the religion: it does not explicitly worship anything, from what has been presented by its prophet. As long as it accepts the worship in something, and that can perfectly be the fruit (which would resemble several Shamanistic traditions), it should be ok.

[Glaumring the Fox]

Well we worship the fruit then. The issue we had before is that Bloodmoon used to be tied to Astroism, but since they freaked out we have chosen to distance ourselves from it which left us in a lurch, so we are hashing out things as we go. I havent even had a chance to join the church yet because of the war. Anyways, our intention is to fit an SMA but we want something unique and not another SA or one of the myriad of copy christain religions.

My idea of Dwilight is a Heronymusch bosch painting...

[Marlboro]

The Garden of Earthly Delights, for sure.

[JPierreD]

I recommend you to read a little bit about the Vegetalist and the South-American Shamanic traditions, if you want some inspiration on RL examples of psychotropic-worship.

[Dhalgren]

Your holy prophet doesn't mention any of that. His description is completely different than yours.

The holy prophet is trying to avoid a crusade.  :)
Her (her!) description is a description to someone of a different faith that is basically asking "should we come down and destroy you?"

Anyway, will update the wiki soon, and will keep in mind all the SMA comments that are definitely very useful. In a way, the religion was founded out of social and political concerns, stopping the madness, orgies and destruction in Asylon with control of the fruit. I will add theological flesh soon.
