Join the new world

According to the eRep wiki there are 5 recognised religions in the New World. There are several people claiming to be a god or a deity. The most famous of these is Dio Brando, the founder of the first religion, Dioism.

After spending some time reading up on the religions, I have noticed that none of these people are documented to have special powers or abilities. In fact, the only extra-ordinary act I could find is that they died and arose from the dead. Of course anyone who knows AndreasIsaksson, knows this is not extra-ordinary at all and quite a common occurrence in the New World.

But still these people have amassed impressive hordes of followers. Having just seen that these people are not special in anyway apart from perhaps in their ability to delude themselves and others it made me think why these people were allowing themselves to be deluded.

The only reason I can think is, is the one also given in the erep wiki: “created to add to a nation or party's culture.” But what is strange that these religions are not state or party religions. So even this reason is a delusion in itself.

But what surprises me most of all is that none of these people have realised that there is already in fact a very real God in the New World. This very well-known God has all the characteristics a God requires as I have outlined below:

WARNING: wall of text coming up!


Wisdom: “Wisdom is the ability to devise perfect ends and to achieve these ends by the most perfect means.” In other words, God makes no mistakes. He is the Father who truly knows best. How great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways!”

Infinitude: God knows no boundaries. He is without measure. This attribute by definition impacts all of the others. Since God is infinite, everything else about Him must also be infinite.

Sovereignty: This is “the attribute by which He rules His entire creation.” It is the application of His other attributes of being all-knowing and all-powerful. It makes Him absolutely free to do what He knows to be best. God is in control of everything that happens. Man still has a free will, and is responsible for his choices in life.

Holiness: This is the attribute that sets God apart from all created beings. It refers to His majesty and His perfect moral purity. There is absolutely no sin or evil thought in God at all. His holiness is the definition of that which is pure and righteous in all the universe.

Omniscience: “God possesses perfect knowledge and therefore has no need to learn. God has never learned and cannot learn.” Omniscience means all-knowing. God knows everything, and His knowledge is infinite. It is impossible to hide anything from God (apart from the odd multi account here and there of course).

Faithfulness: Everything that God has promised will come to pass. His faithfulness guarantees this fact.

Omnipotence: Literally this word means all-powerful. Since God is infinite and since He possesses power, He possesses infinite power. He does allow His creatures to have some power, but this in no way diminishes His own.

Self-sufficiency: All other life in the universe is a gift from God. He has no needs and there is no way He can improve. To God, nothing else is necessary. He does not need our help with anything, but because of His grace and love, He allows us to be a part of advancing His plan on earth and being a blessing to others. We are the ones who change, but never God. He is self-sufficient.

Justice: He does not conform to some outside criteria. Being just brings moral equity to everyone. When there are evil acts, justice demands there be a penalty which God administers onto the punisher.

Omnipresence: This theological term means “always present.” Since God is infinite, His being knows no boundaries. So, clearly He is everywhere. This is certainly a comforting truth for all who follow God.

I have borrowed these characteristics from a very well-known RL religions and as you must agree these are characteristics that no citizen in the New World possesses. We can therefore conclude that any being in the New World with these characteristics must surely be a God.



Now some of you might still ask: who is this God you speak off?

Well, I can now reveal the name of this in-game God. It is none other than our beloved Admin. And not only is there a God, he also has a prophet called Carla (formerly known as Socrates) and a bible, called eRepublik Insider.

Now I have revealed name read over the characteristics again and you will have to agree that all these applies to Admin and therefore Admin truly is a God.

I therefore propose the cessation of all religions in eRepublik and for all deluded followers of these fake religions to repent and completely devote themselves to the one true God in this game: Admin.

Amen!


Now go forth and spread the word!
