One of the groups that really grabbed a hold of the BBS world and held on for
|
||
|
|
dear life were folks who had a different view of organized religion. BBSes
|
||
|
|
immediately provided them with a place to discuss, organize, and put up
|
||
|
|
doctrines. You could find massive libraries of doctines online, in fact; a BBS
|
||
|
|
could be set up for a specific religion, encourage discussions, get new converts,
|
||
|
|
the whole deal. This was popular with all sorts of religions, although of
|
||
|
|
course it set up a nice easy target if the religion was inherently judgemental.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
Another side of this coin were parody or joke religions, who found it easy to
|
||
|
|
creative large amounts of lore and meaningless parables and rules that would
|
||
|
|
almost seem real, if it weren't for the bad spelling and wanton profanity.
|
||
|
|
Some of these, like the Church of the Subgenius, were both publishing
|
||
|
|
phenomenons and online scions. It was all very silly.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
This section is a little hard to sort, because it's very hard to tell what
|
||
|
|
documents belong to what line of thought, and, even worse, some lines of
|
||
|
|
thought have split down even further to two or more branches that hate each
|
||
|
|
other. But I'll do my best. Please be sure to write in if things are completely
|
||
|
|
missorted.
