Vahnatai Creationism has gone too far. The original proposition, that Vahnatai had created other intelligent species -- aranea, troglodytes, and even humans -- was bad enough. Now we must also contend with "Vahnatai Creationism with a Twist" which teaches the further mistruth that the Vahnatai are in some way related to the Shapers, and that the worlds of Exile and Geneforge are one and the same. Enough, I say! This new Twisted denomination is an abomination to science, just as the original Roman Celtic denomination was.

Therefore, taking inspiration from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I hereby announce the formation of the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow.

The Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow holds that all life, including humans, vahnatai, drakons, Jeff Vogel, and Richard White was in fact created by the giant, divine, omnipotent Nine-Headed Cave Cow, in His and Her infinite wisdom (what made you think a nine-headed divinity would only have one set of genitalia?). Bovingelicals, as followers of the church are called, believe that all magical and essence-based augmentation is simply the expression of His and Her will.

In contrast to other religious groups, the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow believes in a process known as hamsubstantiation in which the body of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow is barbequed and transmitted to our plane of existence for consumption by His and Her worshippers. Furthermore, the Nine-Headed Cave Cow has proclaimed a doctrine of loving kineness for His and Her followers, as famously stated by the proverb: "Sooner may a cattle pass through the eye of a needle, than may a rich man enter the Kingdom of Heifer."

These mooving teachings are collectively known as His and Herd Mentality. Although bovingelicals supports freedom of religion, within the Church, hetero-oxy is not tolerated.

Members of the Church of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow demand that our teachings, which are just as believable as Vahnatai Creationism, receive equal time in classrooms, web pages, and pointless forum posts as other theories.

Wait...it may already be in the public school system. Dikiyoba may have been a member of this religion at one point, until Dikiyoba was excommunicated for refusal to share beef jerky with the other members.

Heretic! You dare question the all-knowing Creator Eru Iluvatar, the All-Father, who conceived of the Ainur and made the world from their song? :P

Uh. I was supposed to argue for Cthulhu here, I suppose. Gah, it's hard to keep all these faiths apart.

This is indeed a grand moovement. I'm sure it will steer today's youth in the right direction.

Great. As if Vahnatai Creationism, the Anama, the Church of the Divine Lucre, and the Almighty Chicken Gods weren't enough. I'm going to have to add this to the latest edition of the Xian Tome.

Do we have any Banjoists here?

Or is that sort of thing even possible in the Cave Cow faith?

Aw, Ephesos, you shall unite me with Nine-Headed Cave Cow, for this I thank you. I shall present offerings of grass and grain to the Nine-Headed Cave Cow in your name; it will be utterly pleased.

There is only one true faith, as your implants should tell you, and it is not some cash cow of a scam to milk credulous believers of all they're worth.

Richard White will have crushed your puny godling yesterday next week!

The Nine-Headed Cave Cow is saving one of His and Her thirty-six stomachs just to digest Richard White.

The cave cow will rain down rumination on the Richard White heretics. They will grill forever in the fires be-low.

Cthulhu doesn't argue. He just turns non-believers insane. Not that his believers have much sanity.

That is what I meant. Making a misteak in an already bad pun is what I get for spending nine hours straight on the computer.

Indeed, he past his time a very long time ago. I suggest new religions, and the cave cow seems good, for now. Until he chicken gods come back from their vacation, that is.

To rephrase from another thread, this bovine religion seems very fond of cruel and unusual punishment.

--------------------
Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword,
For it too has the power to kill.
However well placed word, unlike a well placed sword,
Can also have the power to heal.

So these days eating too much of certain foods has an affect on your religious moovements?

No. That's udderly ridiculous. It is drinking too much of His and Her sweet, sweet milk (innuendo alarm going off here) which makes you go crazy.
