Intellectual Property Religion: Difference between revisions

** '''[[Mega Man Legends|Rockmanism DASH]]''': ...Actually, don't worry about dumping your equipment this time. Your [[Mission Control]] will sell it for upkeep anyway.

** '''[[Mega Man ZX|Rockmanism ZX]]''': ...Or this time, either. The newer converts will pick up your slack following the [[Time Skip]].

** Quite surprisingly, actually, given that Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic of a rather traditionalist stripe, and specifically modelled his mythos around Roman Catholic theology, rather than anything resembling modern New Age or Neopagan spirituality. I can't help but think that [[Misaimed Fandom|these individuals]] [[Did Not Do the Research|don't really understand that]].

*** Elves (and Dwarves, and Ents) have their own paths - the Dwarves' involves some belief in resurrection - but arguably don't have souls. Men may, in time, develop a religion that will become Christianity. This is very subtly forshadowed in the conversation between Legolas and Gimli as they enter Minas Tirith. Bear in mind that the events of LOTR is supposed to take place on earth in ancient pre-history.

* '''[[Homestuck|Skaiaism/Sburbism]]''': The universe was created by [[troll]]s. Creativity is the ultimate virtue. [[Stable Time Loop]]s are real. Intelligent civilizations may be sacrificed at random to create new froggy universes, continuing the cycle of creation.

** '''[[Problem Sleuth|Church of the Godhead Pickle Inspector]]''': All was created in the middle of time when GPI split two copies of his pre-accession self infinitely, creating all matter ever in existence. All men should strive to excel in the three holy stats of IMAGINATION, VIM and PULCHRITUDE- although abandoning one or two stats to become outrageously powerful in the third is perfectly fine. If you die in the imaginary world you will forevermore exist in an infinite lotus afterlife where you may play boardgames with a nice chap named Death- unless, of course, you make an easy escape though the backdoor back into life. However true nirvana may only be achieved by finally escaping your office into the real world.

* '''The Cybermorphs''' in [[Sergey Lukyanenko]]'s ''[[Genome]]'' trilogy are a sect of [[The Cracker|hackers]] who wear black lenses in their eye sockets, appear to be about 20, and believe that the entire Universe is just an illusion created by machines to enslave humanity. Sound [[The Matrix|familiar]]? They also tend to say things like "There is no God but the Architect, and Neo is his prophet." When a ship's AI greets a Cybermorph with [[Matrix Raining Code]], he starts reading their version of "Our Father" with phrases like "And deliver us from system crashes."

* {{spoiler|The '''Jovians'''}} from ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' {{spoiler|built their entire culture around ''[[Gekiganger 3]]''}}. This being ''[[Deconstructive Parody|Nadesico]]'', [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* '''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Zetsubouism:]]''' You're in despair. People making cults out of fiction have left you in despair.

* '''[[Shin Megami Tensei|The Threefold Path Of The Goddess]]''': There are but three paths to follow: [[Order Versus Chaos|Law, Neutrality, or Chaos.]] None is better than the other, all can be good [[From a Certain Point of View|depending on one's perspective.]]

** '''[[Star Fox|Wolfism]]''': The dark counterpart to the Church of Falcon.
