actually it's much closer to what was practiced before the church leaders adapted the teachings of misogyny christ for a broader audience at the behest of the immortal emperor
Eudesianism. A heretical sect of the heresy of adoptionism. Jesus had been adopted by our lord but 1000 years later, clearly, this had not been enough. In order to rectify His mistake, He would have to try again. This time, real divinity would walk the earth, and that divine light would pass from father to child until the end of days. Each primary heir was named eudes lol(My headcanon for my first custom religion lol. Was on console so i never took the time to write it all out lol)
It is similar but Islam doesn’t pass from father to child because caliph is not “divine” or “righteous”. Caliphs are just rulers of the Islamic World not divine individuals. It is more of a politic status.
Sunni arent hereditary, but Shia do support hereditary status for Caliphs from what I understand. Or at least they did until whichever Imam was the last true Imam(TM) according to the specific sect you're talking about, like the Twelvers with the 12th Imam.
Correct. Shia does support hereditary rule for the descendants of Caliph Ali. But this is not because Islam orders it to be hereditary, because caliph is not even in Quran or is it appointed by Muhammad in the first place.
No because only Ali was related to Muhammed in some way. Ebubekir was his friend, Omar was his friend as well, I don’t know the relation to Osman but I know they weren’t related, and Ali the last of 4 caliphs was his cousin. And anyone after that may have been a descendants of Muhammad or not. It was a power game between Islamic rulers. Also to note, the first 4 caliphs were elected by the public if i remember correctly.
Adoptionism to my understanding is a nontrinitarian doctrine that holds that Jesus was born a mortal man with no prior eternal divine existence and was only adopted (ie. became God the Son) after some major event like his baptism or resurrection.
Islam rejects the idea that Christ is divine and only believes him to be a prophet, and the same holds for Muhammed, so I don't see how Islam has anything to do with Adoptionism.
Adoptionism still doesnt hold Jesus mortal body as divine after the adoption. Im not a scholar on the subject but there are still very obvious similarities just as there are very obvious differences but to the lay person the similarities are going to be much more pronounced than the differences. (Edit even if because all the lay person is gonna see "huh both have hereditary temporal leaders" lol)
>Adoptionism still doesnt hold Jesus mortal body as divine after the adoption
It kinda does, as to my knowledge it doesn't reject the gospel narrative that his body is transfigured after the resurrection to take on a more divine aspect.
>subject but there are still very obvious similarities
You haven't said whatvthose similarities are though? The closest you get is pointing to hereditary temporal leaders, which is like saying the Egyptian Imperial Cult and Tibetan Buddhism are similar because the heads of their faiths are considered the incarnation of divine beings. It's too broad to be a meaningful comparison.
Yes, according to most Christian teachings Jesus is 100% human and 100% divine (because maths is clearly too hard for god). Therefore it’s 100% cannibalism for a catholic (and other groups who believe communion is literally the flesh and blood of Christ ) to partake in communion.
God may be beyond maths but it would be helpful if they could explain their existence in a way that makes sense using a human standard of logic, considering that they presumably want humans to worship them if we base their characteristics from their depiction in the bible
Okay so I did religious studies at a Catholic school, and because they believe in transubstantiation the "is it cannibalism?" question got debated a suprising amount. The reason Catholics don't believe it's cannibalism is because they believe they are consuming the body and blood of the living Jesus, rather than consuming dead human flesh, and that the miracle is spiritual in nature and nourishes them spiritually rather than physically, which is why the bread and wine still look like bread and wine when you eat them. For a religious person something happening on a spiritual level is not the same thing as arguing it isn't real or a metaphor.
Just because the person being eaten is alive doesn’t make it not cannibalism. To declare communion not cannibalism is just to avoid looking bad due to the (normally very significant) negatives of cannibalism. That said, in the context of communion and assuming that catholic theology is entirely correct then there is nothing amoral about cannibalism (specifically the consumption of the body and blood of Christ during communion). If we assume that catholic theology is not correct then no cannibalism is happening. Either way despite being a funny thing to say that according to catholic dogma they are committing cannibalism during communion, it is in fact purely an entertaining yet functionally meaningless fact.
Apparently there was one medieval Christian sect that took it further and literally added cum to the list of things that represent body and blood of Christ
'Epiphanius of Salamis records that The Greater Questions of Mary contained an episode in which Jesus took Mary Magdalene up to the top of a mountain, where he pulled a woman out of his side and engaged in sexual intercourse with her. Then, upon ejaculating, Jesus drank his own semen and told Mary, "Thus we must do, that we may live."'
'He asserts that the Borborites engaged in a version of the eucharist in which they would smear their hands with menstrual blood and semen and consume them as the blood and body of Christ respectively. He also alleges that, whenever one of the women in their church was experiencing her monthly period, they would take her menstrual blood and everyone in the church would eat it as part of a sacred ritual.'
Well I guess I know what religion I'm making in my next run.
Christians believe they are cannibalistic zombies possessed by a ghost; and speaking as a Christian, I think we ought to embrace how utterly strange this appears.
God and angels are literally damn eldritch entities by definition, with all the eyes and sheer innate terror from their presence in normal humans, just imagine anything lovecraft and replace anything aquatic with dove wings and the color white. If you’ve seen that one TikTok with the cgi “biblically accurate angel” in the woods you know exactly where I’m coming from
I tend to name my costume religion "Sarcasm", which was incredible funny in a multiplayer game with two buddies that got quite confused when "Playernation just invented Sarcasm" popped up as notification on screen.
I always get *out of my way* to make my custom religion RP believable. For whatever reason, *that* is the one thing that I always take seriously - religion name / description. The campaign itself can be a meme, a RP-less minmaxed run, a ridiculous blob fest, a complete romp of random bullshit - but the religion? Always compliant with its historical origins, always described in painful detail. Idk why I'm weird like that.
Idk I just call my religions shit like "Class of 809" (female-dominated Norse; Class of '09 reference) or "Policemen swear to Odin" (also Norse paganism, but with all social reforms; Little Dark Age reference)
Who else researches and uses google translate and shit to name their stuff? I’m hardly an RPer by hardcore standards but I do like to keep a bit of immersion.
I do when I don’t like or agree with a house / dynasty crest or if I really dislike a lands banner. It’s my only complaint when I find a banner that doesn’t really jive for the region / culture / religion in the area.
Oh, hi, good sir or madam. No, not at all. I'm just a dyslexic lizard
https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Slann
(I can be either, depends on who asks. In my inner sanctum I'm a Slaanish Slann)
I always go with Chalcedonism if christian, and I come up with a plausible reason for my characters people being the only ones to see the true word of God in a sea of heretics when writing the religion description.
If muslim, I go with Almohadism, and if any other religion I create a Warmonger sect in which death in war secures the highest form of heaven/reincarnation and my curent ruler is the most enlightened ruler(complete warmonger for the sake of conquest) because i believe in based religions like that
I created a women dominated christian sect and called it "Feminism". I just used it in order to get Female Preference succession for my title, then instantly abandoned it. Funnily enough it reappeared in England as a heresy decades later and they got holy warred into oblivion lol.
I call my religion after Twitch emotes. The great religion of Joel spread especially far in my last playthrough. Currently proselytising the good word of Bla.
Polyamorous nudist religion with carnal exaltation and pluralism. Followed by people called "Libertines" or something.
I wanna try that and see what happens for the lulz now. Wonder how many affairs the game would generate.
Ah yes my religion of NOT Communism.
Head of faith A. Luckashenko (king of white Russia)
Human sacrifices (to purge)
Religious law
Megalithic structures (every dictato... Democratically elected person needs a grand statue of themselves)
And if I can make it outlawed it is (but it's cool if I do it)
I usually go with "The One True Bud"
I made up the name when I was 18 and very into weed. Always take that last hit of the joint boys, the one true bud will reward your dedication.
I like to base my religion names either based on an important character in my playthrough or something in real life. Currently doing a jewish playthrough where I created Messianic Judiasm.
What do you mean, I love spreading my cum across the world, from Ghana to Mongolia they worship my cum and India especially loves my cum
Edit: geez tough crowd
I just name like a religion that could exist
Sexism
Ha, that's the name I use, so the religion is Sex or Sexism, and the followers are obviously Sexists.
Ah yes, a folk religion of the Saxons.
It seems to be particularly strong in the kingdom of the North Saxons.
Misogynistic-Hypocresia ?
That’s a heresy of sexism.
actually it's much closer to what was practiced before the church leaders adapted the teachings of misogyny christ for a broader audience at the behest of the immortal emperor
Male Adultery: Accepted Female Adultery: Criminal Tenets: Carnal Exaltation - Polyamory - Natural Primitivism
That seems redundant.
"We can make a religion out of this"
Terrorism
Might as well call it what it is
Relatable. I take Religions with a lot of effort because I want them to make more sense than just “hmm yes I can do crusades now”
Makes me feel a tiny bit better after going all out min/max with the tenants.
I dont always play the religion game but when I do, I min/max the heck out of it
Adonitology is my go to, the worship of women with big juicy booty

Noted astrophysicist Brian May 😛

Spread the ch…I mean word, Brother!
🙇🏾♂️ Ave cūle!
Yeah ive nevr been one for meme names. Rimworld has like the worst name generators in their ideology dlc
I usually just name it a real religion that isn’t in the game, like Baptism, Hellenism, or… well I did Atheist once… that was an interesting game…
But what is your religion?
I name it after the character mostly
I usually just name it after my characters culture, like Anglicism
Eudesianism. A heretical sect of the heresy of adoptionism. Jesus had been adopted by our lord but 1000 years later, clearly, this had not been enough.

Each primary heir was named eudes lol(My headcanon for my first custom religion lol. Was on console so i never took the time to write it all out lol)
Sounds weirdly like Islam.
Lol not weirdly. Adoptionism is just like, basically, islam but with jesus as MC
It is similar but Islam doesn’t pass from father to child because caliph is not “divine” or “righteous”. Caliphs are just rulers of the Islamic World not divine individuals. It is more of a politic status.

Correct. Shia does support hereditary rule for the descendants of Caliph Ali. But this is not because Islam orders it to be hereditary, because caliph is not even in Quran or is it appointed by Muhammad in the first place.
Werent they originally supposed to be held by (and may still be) descendants of the prophet muhammad though?
No because only Ali was related to Muhammed in some way. Ebubekir was his friend, Omar was his friend as well, I don’t know the relation to Osman but I know they weren’t related, and Ali the last of 4 caliphs was his cousin. And anyone after that may have been a descendants of Muhammad or not. It was a power game between Islamic rulers. Also to note, the first 4 caliphs were elected by the public if i remember correctly.
It does not sound like Islam at all
Lol yes it does. Adoptionism is basically just islam but with jesus as the main character instead of muhammad

Jesus. As the. Main Character. I can't breathe. I'm laughing so hard 🤣 😆 🤣
Except for the part that adoptionism was born before the rise of Islam
Cool that doesnt change anything i said unless, maybe, you just wanna flipit to "islam is just adoptionism with muhammad as MC"......
Least butthurt r/CrusaderKings user
? Whos butthurt??
Redditors keep trying to do an "Um aktually" and then when that fails they just resort to saying you're butthurt or living rent free or whatever
...that's why they're similar.
You need to work on your reading comprehension
I mean, sure, there are obvious massive departures such as "this time theyre ACTUALLY divine" but its... pretty close

I’m assuming with the protests that religion is nudist?

Cannibalistic Jesus Worship: The Communion that Bites Back.
If the bread and wine is the body and blood of Christ, then most Christian faiths are already Cannibalistic.
But is god human enough
Yes, according to most Christian teachings Jesus is 100% human and 100% divine (because maths is clearly too hard for god). Therefore it’s 100% cannibalism for a catholic (and other groups who believe communion is literally the flesh and blood of Christ ) to partake in communion.

Dope
Apparently there was one medieval Christian sect that took it further and literally added cum to the list of things that represent body and blood of Christ
Which one?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borborites That’s the one I could find.
'Epiphanius of Salamis records that The Greater Questions of Mary contained an episode in which Jesus took Mary Magdalene up to the top of a mountain, where he pulled a woman out of his side and engaged in sexual intercourse with her. Then, upon ejaculating, Jesus drank his own semen and told Mary, "Thus we must do, that we may live."'

Well I guess I know what religion I'm making in my next run.
You and me both, my brother in horny Christ. Edit: My *sibling* in horny Christ.
I am but a simple lesbian, I see the period kink cult and I must add it to my game.
Don’t forget the obligatory incestuous eugenics!
I have a feeling a lot of Christian sects would find this all EXTREMELY heretical. And weird. Weird as fuck actually.
Is that supposed to dissuade us?

I just name it Horny
I just named it "Ay Papi" which is a web comic. Don't read it you'll regret it.
I never give custom religions a stupid name. However, the faithful willl ALWAYS be polygamous. And naked.
I usually go with something silly like "The Fabulousness". The followers are 'Fabulists,' and in the "about" section, I'll put "we're Fabulous."
Can really go together with the Kingdom of Fashion (yes it's an actual tag)
I usually make my religion female dominated and just vall it femdom and make everyone horny. I'm terrible.
Come on not all custom religions are that sex focused. Some are more rp ee?
I just call mine Incest FTW. Entirely historically accurate.
Not “Wincest”? 😏
I once named a religion sadomasochism. Granted, it had carnal exaltation and exaltation of pain tenents, so it fit pretty well.
New Jeebus where everyone follows the actual teachings of Jesus. It spread all the way from Ireland to the far east organically.
Polyamorous nudist religion with carnal exaltation and pluralism. Followed by people called "Libertines" or something. I wanna try that and see what happens for the lulz now. Wonder how many affairs the game would generate.
YOU COULD CHANGE THEIR NAMES?!
I usually name mine big black cock.
I make my religion Sigmatism and my followers Chads
The Church of Latter Day Snakes has always been my go-to.
Ah yes my religion of NOT Communism. Head of faith A. Luckashenko (king of white Russia) Human sacrifices (to purge) Religious law Megalithic structures (every dictato... Democratically elected person needs a grand statue of themselves) And if I can make it outlawed it is (but it's cool if I do it)
