Proclaimation of Faith
Tohru
Yes, despite stating previously I am eAthiest, I have seen the light.
After looking into numerous religions, I have found truth in Haruhiism. However not in the major denomination of Orthodox. I protest the beliefs of Orthodoxy and have adopted my own interpretation.
I am very proud in my new found faith, and I will further the religion by Her will.
She is God.
I am Her prophet.
Heathens will soon see the light as well.

Holy crap... Worshipping anime characters? Really? I can see the aspect of Dioism. But an anime character? Really? Good luck, I suppose.
So Empress Tohru has found the light huh?
Well, I just hope your light truly suitable for you.
Haruhiism is the fastest growing religion in the world!
@Hitoshi: You've never read the Suzumiya Haruhi series, have you?
Nice.
@Hitoshi
Dio is also an anime (and videogame) character. 🙂
Holy crap... Worshipping anime characters? Really? What is new.
Hummmm, i guess your version is more accurate according to the book (i have read all of them, which is sold up to now in Japanese). However, It is still not good enough to get me to join. It is better than orthodox version, but not perfect.
Good job in creating it though.
But then again, only eReligion that I have ever considered joining are the Haruhism, or Dioism. But then again, I chose to stay unaffiliated, and to stay neutral toward eReligions.
oh, and to those who is interested in actually reading Melancholy of Haruhi suzumiya series (the original light novel version). You can find the translated version of this book at...

Read them in chronological order (there's a link to the timeline there), don't read them in volume order.
LOL...
Haruhism.... 😛

Nah, the volume order is good. It creates the suspense affect.
@ Those who said @Hitoshi: No, never read it. Heard of it, though. Bored one night on Wikipedia and decided to check out an entire list of known Anime series. Oh, and yes I know about Jojo's Dio. He doesn't make that his identity. He prefers to be called the God King or Emperor or what not. But with Haruhi, it just seems like an attack on Shintoism, which if I weren't atheist would likely be part of.
Sadly, most of the true value of shintoism is basically dead within Japan, and they just remain as some what of tradition and culture, but it really had disappeared as a true religion to most Japanese in Japan.
Care to explain more about true value of Shinto in details, Akki?
"Read them in chronological order (there's a link to the timeline there), don't read them in volume order."
Is it a long read?
haha maybe i might join in..
@Kogarashi Hazuki
To most Japanese, (unless you go to really rural area or a family of traditional Japanese) you practice the shinto religions not because you believe in it, but because it remains as traditional way to do so. For example, shinto religion was always incorporated into Japanese government, and the some national holiday, or day of celebration may be based on Shinto religion. Thus Japanese may visit temple, or shrine, on those days, new year, when their family member die, or when they turn age 3, 5 or 7, or if they feel they need to rely of spiritual power (stressed in life, or have major event or what not.) but to most Japanese those remain as tradition, not as religious belief. Sadly, there are only few Japanese in real life Japan, who truly believes in Religious Value of shinto. even if they are self claimed shintoist, they are most likely those who just visits temples or shrine, when and only when they really have to. As it have been said many times, it is more of tradition now. and those traditions are slowly dying away as well, with newer and newer generation.
@Emerick
there are currently 9 volumes released, but but it isn't too long, and shouldn't be difficult read, since it is light novel.
Ah, I see.
