CosmicHooves 2,705 April 14, 2014 Author Share April 14, 2014 (edited) You can't take a Bible to school? That's news to me. I don't remember that being the case when I was back in school several years back. (But that's not what this topic is about, seriously. lol) Yeah.Public schools have tooken it to extremes like that. You literally cannot express your religion in most public schools. It's a bit nuts if you ask me. Edited April 14, 2014 by Psyco Dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adachi 772 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 (edited) tbh, I think I would probably prefer to worship Sailor Moon. She's already from Earth. We would just have to find some way to bring the whole Moon family over, along with her friends, because she would miss her family and friends too much otherwise. Let's see what qualifications she has - All powerful (her love was able to overpower Sailor Galaxia's power and heal her - All loving (she was gonna let Queen Nehilenia kill her, because she blamed herself for Queen Nehilenia's sadness) - Empathy (she broke down in tears when Queen Nehilenia told her her tragic backstory) - All merciful (she not only spared Nehilenia (and almost every other villain in the Sailor Moon series), but rehabilitated them as well. Here's what the Moon pantheon would be like Neo Queen Serenity (Queen of the Moon pantheon) Sailor Mars Sailor Jupiter Sailor Venus Sailor Mercury Sailor Uranus Sailor Pluto Sailor Neptune Sailor Saturn King Mamoru (ruler of earth) Princess Serenity (I assume this is the proper name for Chibiusa) Sailor Quartet (Princess Serenity's bodyguards) Helios/Pegasus (guardian of dreams) I know I'm forgetting a bunch of others, but I haven't read that far in the manga yet. Also, I know that Galaxia is stronger than Moon, but we're talking about goddess of the Earth, not goddess of the universe. As for commandments, it would simply be the following 1) Love your neighbour as you love yourself 2) Put the happiness of others before your own desires 3) Be moral, and be kind to everyone, always 4) Never take a life, unless forced to 5) Believe in the purity of the royal Moon family. They are shining examples to all.

Henny Penny Benny 936 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 And then there's this thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/94543-lets-make-a-god/#entry2517142 Now, I'm admittedly not that good at distinguishing between sincerity and satire, so I may just be overreacting. But still........ Yeah, I don't think anyone actively worships the show, not as such, but in a way, I think that the extent to which some people take escapism verges on worshipping. I don't approve of escapism in general because it seems to be just a way to avoid reality, but the fact is that reality is what we're stuck with. Escapism, to me, just seems lazy and irresponsible. But I'm talking about myself, too, because even I catch myself indulging in a bit of escapism from time to time. After all, wouldn't it be great if we could visit Equestria? Isn't it fun to imagine that it's a real place we can access, if we just try hard enough? But it's not. It's false. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorguil 54 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 There is a scientific idea that there is a new universe made for every action that was not made so it is plausible but not likely so in the slim low percent, I would worship a being like Celestia and Luna "I know this will speak of my mental health oh well."

Commissar Alexer 763 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 Worshipping the Show? That's.... "There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt."

Rhodeana 17 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 (edited) Is that actually a thing? I wouldn't see it as a problem if people are doing it for the fun of it, but I've never heard or seen anything serious related to it. I do thoroughly enjoy the show and try to relate many of it's educational aspects into my life, but I wouldn't go anywhere near as far as 'worship'... Next time the Census rolls around, I am putting Brony under religion. Because I can. Haha, that's amazing; I might do that too!

Christopher Walken 15 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 I've never heard of anyone, worshiping the show, like a religion. But then again, I don't remember waking up this morning, and I certainly don't remember if I forgot to feed Nikki Minaj this morning. I probably didn't. She eats human souls you know, and I don't have that type of money, to be feeding her human souls on a regular basis. I tell you, kids. Don't buy a Nikki Minaj.

White Lie 67 April 14, 2014 Share April 14, 2014 I only see people say they "worship" the show as kind of a joke, basically saying they really really really like it. I don't think it's meant to be taken literal lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but to play Devil's Advocate for a moment, people could say (and have said) the same thing about any established religion. I don't think it's a very reasonable argument for them to make, but there's not much way to refute it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
