EPROM - Syntheism

Strange Rites :: Review

I have been annoyed at the popular discourse surrounding religion lately. I cracked open Woke Racism by McWhorter in the store and was pretty disappointed by his assertions that antiracist ideology is a religious system. It seems that if people notice a group any more substantial than a clique they’ll inevitably call it a religion or cult, especially if they don’t like them. I’ve seen this done…

Terranic Syntheism

Gods are real but do not exist.

[prophetofterra]

Terranic Truths (V)

Finally, we believe that the Terranic Truths  are True, not Fact

Truth is Recursive

[prophetofterra]

Terranic Truths (II)

We believe in Salvation Apocalypse is the end of a world Genesis is the beginning of a world Salvation comes between them Salvation is not a place, a state, or a person It is collaboration between organisms To move through worlds with love

Become-with

[prophetofterra]

Terranic Truths (I)

We believe in Emergence The whole is greater than its parts The parts are more than the whole All wholes are a part All parts are a whole More is different The whole vanishes without the parts The parts die without the whole Thus is the organism Our planet is an organism We call this truth Terra.

We are Terra.

Definition of Religion

There are many competing definitions of religion out there.  Some try to break it down into one vital component.  There are others that try to name everything religion is capable of organizing.  Many definitions have a western bias, others tend to be demeaning.  Terranism will avoid this kerfuffle and content itself with its own definitions.  

The Terranic definition of religion:

Religion is an organization of spirituality

And the Terranic definition of spirituality:

Spirituality is an organization of the truth

What is the truth?  Well, that’s what we’re all trying to figure out, isn’t it?

A Prophet’s Intent

I am forging a religion.

I am dissatisfied with the religious paradigms available to me; they are either burdened by superstition or define themselves negatively in relation to mainstream religions (“we are NOT Christians, etc.).

I am dissatisfied with atheism.  It is a void. To be an atheist is to proclaim no belief, but that does not describe me.  I hold many beliefs, and I want to be defined by them not by the lack of someone else’s.

I aim to create what I want.  Follow me if you like.
