When it comes to religon, people can be strange indeed. According to Wikipedia, the major religious beliefs around the world are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Nevertheless people have felt free to invent their own in a desperate attempt to create something according to their own ways of thinking, acting and believing.  Some of these are scarier than Chucky. So here they are: 4 religions scarier than Chucky the doll.

The Church of Euthanasia

Their own words are beyond anything I could write down as an accurate description. Here they are: “The Human population is increasing by one million every four days. This is a net increase of 95 million per year, the current population of Mexico. Even major wars or epidemics hardly dent this rate of growth, and modern wars also have tremendous environmental consequences. It is for these practical reasons, as well as moral ones, that we support only voluntary forms of population reduction.

The Church has only one commandment, and it is “Thou Shalt Not Procreate.” In addition, we have four “pillars” or principles, which are Suicide, Abortion, Cannibalism and Sodomy.

Note that cannibalism is only required for those who insist on eating flesh, and is strictly limited to consumption of the already dead. Also note that sodomy is defined as any sexual act not intended for procreation.” Amen.

P.S. Their pretentious language, something between Shakespeare and modern American English is just breathtaking!

Jediism

“This one is pretty clear,” you’d be tempted to say at a first glance. “They’re probably just a bunch of Star Wars fans playing around.” Not quite…

Ok, so they really believe in The Force, as an energy that holds the Universe together and flows through every material thing. This is far from being an original idea. Come on now, every Eastern religion has this belief as guidance. They’re more of a blend between Taoism and Buddhism that also incorporates elements of medieval chivalry. While there’s no formal central doctrine, all this is loosely referred to as the “Jedi Code”. However this code encourages the following principles: “There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force” Ok, now. They are less creepy than Chucky, but you can’t deny the fact that they belong to the same world: children’s world.

The Church of Ed Wood

Following the film industry, it seems it succeeded in creating a bunch of spiritual stuff for every living soul out there. So here’s Woodism, or a religion dedicated to the worst film directors of all time. So this guy is regarded as one of the saviour, though not THE saviour. They are basically upholding the morals and ideals of Edward D. Wood and preaching Ed’s message of total understanding and acceptance, regardless of what modern society may say.

Wood was also a transvestite in 1950s America. So this is where their acceptance is coming from. Creepy…

Raëlism

Raëlism is a UFO religion. It was founded by Claud Vorilhon, now known as Raëland it is, as far as the number of followers is concerned, the largest such religion in the world after Scientology. So in case you didn’t know that, the Elohim is a group of extraterrestrials who posed as angels and deities in their relationships with early humans and created life on our planet.  Raël is the last human contacted by the Elohim to prepare us for their imminent return.

According to Raël, he was dictated a message explaining our origins and future in December 1973, during personal meetings with a 25,000-year-old extraterrestrial named Yahweh, who came in a UFO. The message dictated to Raël during this encounter states that the Elohim contacted about forty people to act as their prophets on Earth, such as those who founded the world’s major religions like Moses, Buddha, Jesus or Muhammad. When all wars are over, the Elohim will visit Earth once again.
