Top 5 Most Bizarre And Absurd Registered Religions

Editor: euphoria / October 3, 2009 / Category : Life

Putting upon any religion to your children is abuse. Even though there are many strange and absurd religions, I decided to present you a few of the most extremist and registered ones. Read this text with hold and feel free to take upon an interpretation that suits you best. I have no intention to out upon anybody any of these religions or some of their beliefs and ideas. My only intention was to show in what kind of world we live today, and what strange thinks do people all over the world believe in.

1.
Scientology

This is the most popular religion of this kind and the most people have heard about it. She is probably best known for its absurd alien beliefs.
75 million years ago, there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu who was in charge of 76 planets in our sector of the galaxy, including planet Earth, whose name at that time was Teegeeack.

Xenu realized over-population and came up with an idea how to save the world.

Xenu’s made fleet of DC8-like spaceships then flew to planet Earth, where the frozen people were dumped in and around volcanoes in the Canary Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. When Xenu’s Air Force had finished dumping the bodies into the volcanoes, hydrogen bombs were dropped into the volcanoes and the frozen space aliens were destroyed.

However, Xenu’s plan involved setting up electronic traps in Teegeeack’s atmosphere which were designed to trap the souls or spirits of the dead aliens. When the 13.5 trillion spirits were being blown around on the nuclear winds, the electronic traps worked like a charm and captured all the souls in the electronic, sticky fly-paper like traps.

These souls inhabited the bodies of humans and continued to live within.

Maybe this religion wouldn’t be so popular if there wasn’t for our beloved Tom Cruise which decided to go crazy and accept this belief. A group of Scientologist from Germany is under constant surveillance. Should we really believe that people are aliens? This religion is absurd but not as much as the following ones are.

2.
Jedi Religion – Jediism

The Jedi Church believes that there is one all powerful force that binds all things in the universe together. The Jedi religion is something innate inside everyone of us, the Jedi Church believes that our sense of morality is innate. So quiet your mind and listen to the force within you!

I suppose that they must have lightsabers and robes in their religious equipment.

Now, this doesn’t sound that bad, because most of the religions in the world are founded on the belief in some supreme power in the Universe, but only Jediist based their beliefs on Star Wars SF movie. Insane?

3.
The Church of Ed Wood – Woodism

First thing that you see when you enter their web site is a pop up that says: “To answer your first question – yes, we’re totally serious.”

They are an internet church that practices Woodism. Woodism is a pop-culture-based religion created in 1996 by Reverend Steve Galindo. They follow the late cult director Edward D. Wood Jr., and they look to him as a savior. At The Church of Ed Wood they use Ed and his films to inject spirituality into those who get little fulfillment from more mainstream religions like Christianity. By looking at his films and his life, they learn to lead happy, positive lives. We strive for acceptance of others and of the self.

This religion is registered and official. Woodists at their gatherings always dress up as opposite genre and indulge their desires, because Ed Wood loved transvestites and engaged them in his movies. There is always a lot of alcohol at these gatherings and I suppose orgies until dawn. Interesting concept, isn’t it?

    anon said: "However if christians are right then everyone who doesn't beleive will face eternal suffering, saying that putting kids on the safe side is "abuse" is nothing more than a christian bashing statement[...]"

    Yeah, 'cause forcing people into a religion by threatening them of eternal pain is really the best way to go. Why bother waiting for them to be old enough to just decide for themselves.
    And the "just in case" argument is just not an argument at all. Why don't you believe in all religion then, "just in case"?
  • Guttersnipe
    The number 1 absurd religion should be the ugly triplets of christianity, judaism and islam- nothing more ridiculous than those three. Well, except maybe for hindu
  • anon
    From religion you do not have to take their deitie/s but rather their ideals. You can either follow that religion because you truly believe in it, or because you truly believe in it's main ideals. like in Christianity, you may not believe in God, or Jesus or whatever, but you might believe that" The man who truly is your neighbor is he who helps you," or to put it simply all races are equal. Or that mercy is a good thing. I could go on, and talk about other religions as well. Also, to say that because Hitler was a Christian, all Christians is bad, or that because there are some Muslim terrorists, all Muslims are bad is the same as saying that because Americans have killed people, all Americans are bad.

  • crazy glenn
    What, no Church of the Subgenius?!!
  • wat...
    I can't even read this.
    learn how to type please.
  • DANG
    All religions are fake you morons
  • Where's the grandaddy of them all: The Church Of The SubGenius?

    Oh, and btw, Jedism is just Taoism in a tacky costume.
  • Father Terran
    Interesting, if biased, list. Here are a few that I either am a member of or have come across:

    Discordianism: I am a long time and proud member of this church, where we worship the Greek goddess of Chaos, Eris. "If organized religion is the opiate of the masses, than discordianism is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe"
    www.principiadiscordia.com is the best place to find our bible, or google the churches name and read about it on Wikipedia.

    Speaking of Google: Googleism. No, I am not kidding, and to tell you the truth they put together a pretty good argument. The Nine Proofs make a lot of sense, I suggest you read up on it before casting judgment.
    http://www.thechurchofgoogle.org/

    And finally, the church that I have joined in order to marry those who wish it. Dudeism, or the Church of the Latter Day Dude. Ever seen The Big Lebowski? Ever think there was a zen like undertone? your not the only one! Direct from the bottom of their website:

    Dudeism is a religion deeply inspired by The Big Lebowski, as well as several other traditions that predate Lebowski - most particularly: Taoism, Zen Buddhism, American Transcendentalism and humanism. However, it is not affiliated with the film in any way.
    http://www.dudeism.com/

    Human beings are a wonderfully diverse group, and it is my preference that we celebrate that diversity. After all, if your buddy was the exact same guy as you, how boring would a game of monopoly be?
  • machines
    ugh. this is so poorly written, i can't even comment on the actual subject matter.
  • Connor
    I am not religious, but I assert that this article is a load of shit. It's poorly written and full of obvious biases along side misinformation.
  • I am, look it up. I founded it in 1996 in Phoenix, Arizona. I now live in Sacramento with my wife and two kids. I've been interviewed in New Yorker, National Enquirer, Bizarre, Rue Morgue and Playboy. I just wanted to set the record straight on the orgies.

    If no orgies, why a lot of alcohol?
  • euphoria
    Wow! Do you guys have some assemblies (with photos and topics)? If you do, please contact me here: http://www.weirdworm.com/contact/ and we could make some article only for you.

    Thanks!
  • As the founder of The Church of Ed Wood, I would like to say that alothough there usually is "a lot of alcohol" at Woodian events, there are no "orgies until dawn."

    Ed saves.
  • euphoria
    Yeah right, you are founder...
  • Shran
    Please tell me, where do I sign in ?
  • Dan
    Dude. 1 - Learn English. 2 - Learn to tell joke religions from real ones. You aren't supposed to take Jediism or Pastafarianism seriously. The Flying Spaghetti Monster was made up to show how silly all the 'logic' 'proving' God exists is, as the same arguments can be made in favor of a Flying Spaghetti Monster.
  • Dan, if you know so much, tell me, what do you believe Jediism is about?

    Jediism is actually some people's religion. It's not a Joke like Pastafarianism. There is some real thought that goes into it. If you lump Jediism in the same group as Pastafarianism, you will have to lump in Unity Church with this group as well. As Unity Church is probably the closest church that actually has standing nation-wide, to what the Jediism school of thought is.
  • I need to make a correction on the which church, I often get Unity and Unitarian confused. So, it is Unitarian Universalism that comes the closest to Jediism, not Unity.
