Our Holy Texts and Liturgy
The holy texts of this religion are divided into four
categories:
Texts we've written ||
Professional works || Online comics ||
Pseudo-texts
Texts written by the Gods and Prophets of THE TRUE RELIGION:
- Words of Wisdom and Quotes of Wisdom:
- The GodFAQ: How the universe is organized.
Includes the Hierarchy of the
Gods.
- The Declaration of Truth is
a document so holy that it forms the cornerstone of our sister organization, The World
Oligarchy.
- The Constitution of the
Oligarchy holds an outline of our laws.
- The World Oligarchy underwent a six-month Civil/Cold War during 1997
and 1998. With the signing of the Treaty of Brendan's House
on March 21, 1998, the reunification of the Oligarchy was made official.
- The Holy Website
(you're looking at it).
- The TRUE RELIGIONist's Prayer was written
by Prophet, Junior Grade Robert (Scorpion).
Brendan's
Hail to the Oligarchy Trilogy (based on
The World Oligarchy). An epic short story series involving the
Oligarchy's war with Canada and subsequent events.
-
The Mustang, a story in three chapters
written by Brendan and Wayland, is the Oligarchy's latest major work of
literature.

Poop: The Little Bob Chronicles (written and maintained by
Bob Doughboy) contain various legends involving certain TRUE
RELIGION deities.

best Usenet posts at the Antifrance Archive.

- SkipMaster Pro is not really a text, but it didn't fit anywhere
else on the page. SkipMaster is a computer program which creates
entirely realistic-looking attendance forms for William G. Enloe
High School in Raleigh, NC (where many Prophets go to school).
Created as a senior prank, the program can be used by anyone wishing
to skip class and get away with it. Using a form created by this
program will make the absence be considered excused. The program
was created by Prophet, WareZer-Class Brent Jackson.
