| TOP Bizarre Religions Around The World |
Most people have never been religious persons simply because they find that the rules that the major religions require to live their lives by just don't make sense in today's world.
Number one: The Creativity Movement
This organization is home to the whites only religion called Creativity. They actually use the term creator to refer to themselves, not a deity as the religion is actually atheistic. The organization is known for good deeds such as plotting to kill federal judges, which its leader Matthew Hale wound up going to jail for. Its ideology can be classified as Neo-Nazi and is known as anti-Semitic, racist,
anti-Christian, and generally all around anti-sanity.
Number two : Jediism
Yes, the Jedi religion is a real thing.
Members of this religion actually believe that the Force really exists. Accomplished Jedis are capable of using the Force and are bound by the code of morality and justice. Their belief system is based off
a mix of Taoism and Buddhism along with some elements of medieval chivalry.
Alright, this one might be a little crazy as Star Wars was clearly a work of fiction, but hey, at least they're a positive force in the world. Even if it is ultimately nerdy.
Number three: The Church of all Worlds
This is a neo-pagan religion found in 1962 by a group of friends who are pretty much obsessed with science fiction. How obsessed with science fiction you ask? Well basically the entire religion
is based off of a fictional religion from the scifi book Stranger in a Strange Land. And it includes fairies and rituals centered around the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece. In fact, their leader recently founded the Grey School of Wizardry after being inspired by the Harry Potter novels.
Number four : The Church of Euthanasia
Founded in Boston, Massachusetts, this group is dedicated to restoring the balance between humans and nature. It sounds peaceful except the way the want to go about restoring balance is having you die.
These crazies are also anti-homosexuality because why not?
One interesting commandment from their church is thou shalt not procreate, which is definitely something that we think every member of this religion should practice.
Number five: The Universe People
Also known as the Cosmic People of Light Powers, this organization was founded in the 1990s and is based off of their leader Ivo Benda's ability to communicate with extra terrestrial civilization. According Benda, these aliens will one day transport all of their followers to another dimension. They determine who will go by operating a fleet of space ships that kind of circle around the Earth determining who is good and who is bad.
Number six : Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth
Founded in 1981, these nutjobs legitimately believe in practicing magic. This group believes in developing the psychic and magical abilities of the human brain along with practicing guiltless sexuality. Which probably involves inbreeding, who knows?
Personally I actually think it's kind of interesting that they're trying to explore the magical psychic abilities of the human brain, but I think they should try to master the art of spelling first considering that's how they spell their organization's name.
Number seven :The Prince Phillip Movement
There is a tribe in the South Pacific that believes that Prince Phillip, yes Prince Phillip the husband of Queen Elizabeth the Second is a divine being and the son of a mountain spirit.
They believe that long ago he traveled to the UK to marry the queen and one day he will return.
Now you would think that as a royal official that Prince Phillip would visit them and tell them that he is in fact not a divine being but what did he decide to do?
He actually played along.
Number eight : The Aetherius Society
In 1954, George King, a cab driver, was sitting at home alone when he suddenly heard a voice that told him that he would become the leader of the interplanetary parliament. So naturally he did the logical thing that people do when they hear voices in their head and he started a religion.
This society combines alien wisdom from their cosmic masters with yoga for the betterment of humanity. And of course the best part about it is the members get a sweet discount on cab fare.
Number nine : Raelism
Founded by Claude Vorilhon or Rael as the aliens call him, this religion is founded on three principles.
Number one : humans were founded in an alien lab 25,000 years ago.
Number two : aliens will visit Jerusalem in the year 2025.
And number three is that Rael's job is to relay a message of peace and central meditation to all humankind.
Of course Rael was told all of this when he was abducted, taken to another planet where he met Jesus and Buddha. That is quite the gathering though. I wonder if the Easter Bunny was there.
Number ten : The Church of Scientology
Ah yes, everyone's favorite crazies. Founded in 1952, Scientoligists believe in a self help system called dienetics, not so crazy, as well as a supreme being called Zenu who's the ruler of the Galactic Confederacy.Extra crazy!
The story that they believe is that Zenu brought humans to Earth 75 million years ago, stacked us all around volcanoes, detonated hydrogen bombs inside those volcanoes, and the people that live today are the descendants of the survivors.
Sorry, but if this were true, why would Zenu go through all that effort to kill us? I mean, why wouldn't he just zap us with a giant laser or something?
There I go again. Using that darn logic. Something clearly forbidden in the Church of Scientology.
At the end of the day, my friends, try to keep an open mind, be accepting of others' points of view,
and just spread the love.
