The topic title is a quote from Adventure Time. Glob is a made-up god on the show.

Made-up religions designed specifically for entertainment purposes have always fascinated me. A lot goes into creating them, and they can sometimes take the public by storm, such as the Church of Trek.

What do you think of them?

I'm also surprised at the amount of time and detail people can put into their fake religions. Like this one. It's kind of funny. I thought the Adventure Time one was interesting to. I was surprised to find out it was based on an actual person. The Adventure Time god stopped being interesting to me after that.

Minecraft has several religions. I've encountered a faction where they had a god called Chet. Some idolize Notch, most become dwarves and forsake religion for building and technology.

Are those ingame religions though, or real people making a religion from game-related stuff?

I wonder if the spaghetti monster cult should be treated as that.

It's a little primitive though, like those ancient religions based on myths, but those at least told something about mans place in the universe and handled post-death issues. What do entertainment-based cults handle? Aside for sheer heresy agaisnt the 1st commandment (if one was a christian\\jew\\muslim before)

everyone that thinks that in-game religions (wtf "in-game religions"? =S ) are real should seek a doctor.
as for the spaghetti monster. that's just a made up "pokemon" that became popular as a substitute for god in atheist vs religion debates.

I don't really have an opinion on this, as I don't care what most people want to do with their time or worship, but reading this thread reminded me of that thread Mage created in the tavern. Think he created a religion and a lot of people participated in it, was funny, but I can't find that thread for the life of me.

Ah, the Sandwhich God. That's right.

Both, really.

Oops, forgot to post the link.

From the magic of Google,

Atheists make a god

I'm not really surprised, something like making a fake religion is like any other hobby, some people could just find it fun and interesting, like playing soccer or hockey or even making a book.

al hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster! look for it, its one of the best of them. i realy want to change my ID to "pastafari" lol :).

In Skyrim there is a fake religion. They worship Talos. (who has a lot in common with Jesus i might add)
