This is a religious text based on components of Christianity, Shintoism, Taoism, and several other religions mixed with anime concepts into an [[Interfaith Smoothie]]. The result is possibly the first religion created wholly on Powerpoint (although, given stuff like [[Chick Tracts]], this may be debatable), and is published on [http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/bulmabriefs144-426199-mune-shinri-christian-shinto-taoist-muneshinri-spiritual-inspirational-ppt-powerpoint/ AuthorStream].
 
This religion boils down the three major religions into three core tenets of worship: Nature (Taoism), Love (Christianity), and Family (Shintoism). Other than that, it seems to just try to be as weird as possible. The religion itself is called Aiken. And no, not [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Aiken:Clay Aiken|that Aiken]].
 
== This text contains examples of: ==
Line 23:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: A religion whose biggest rule is "stop messing with other people and mind your own business (but also try to find love, have a family, and take care of nature)", that is, a rule of ''no rule.'' A religion that talks about trying to fight cults, but technically, is at least a sect, if not itself a cult.
* [[Interfaith Smoothie]]: It's really well mixed, giving some of the prohibitions against sorcery while offering a means for natural magic to exist without contradiction.
* [[Ley Line]]: Geomancy is part of the teachings. And the Sage's [[Super Mode|trance]] is based on [[Sucking in-In Lines|absorbing natural energy]].
* [[Locked Away in A Monastery]]: Subverted in that the religion is about self-discipline and free will, so nobody is "locked away", but there is a daily schedule and everything.
* [[Lucky Seven]]: There are seven sections, seven original lessons, and (including the five elements, and light and darkness) seven forces.
Line 39:
* [[Schrodinger's Butterfly]]: There's a section called "Wake Up Sleeping Angel" that suggests this life may all be a dream.
* [[Shinigami]]: The Reapers.
* [[Super Mode]]: The Sage's trance. Focus and concentration is heightened, and the sage [[Sucking in-In Lines|absorbs natural energy to do things for them]] (such as using a rock's energy to get it to lift itself, or figuring out something by "asking" an object).
* [[The Anti -Nihilist]]: The point of "Happiness with Unhappiness."
* [[The Fettered]]: If you live at home this encourages you to try to care for your loved ones, the best you know how.
* [[The Unfettered]]: Paradoxically, this is also the case. The followers are not supposed to impose their will too much on others, and to act in such a way that others cannot imposed their will on them (owing no debts, etc, etc).
