The Church of Whitmount & Agapeism

The Church of Whitmount (Xurutwhit) was first established in 744, after the first laws of the Shituthing came into motion. At that time, the religion of the church was traditional Catholicism, but since them, it has changed dramatically and, although it still identifies as Christian, it has split from the Catholic Church. The current Church practices a branch of Christianity which was taught by Krzysztof of Výšnja called Agapeism, which was established in Whitmount in 1887 after The Durey Revolution.

The core principles of Agapeism is that the love you feel for God must be the same love that you feel for your fellow man. The main dogma that surrounds Agapeism is the fact that God is virtually non-existent in our lives; his influence extends only to the creation of the universe, as well as throwing his teachings of love, respect and mercy onto mortals. Agapeism also teaches us that Jesues, although a powerful figure, was not the son of God. He was, for all intents and purposes, a glorified magician with an almighty love for his Lord, a True Believer. But he was weak minded, and did not spot the plot against him, and so, when the time came, he put his trust in a god that will not save him from death, for only the living can save themselves form death.

Another main component of the dogma of Agapeism is the idea of the Holy Trinity. As we know from Classical Christianity, the Holy Trinity consists of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit. In Agapeism, this order is the same, but the meaning is different. Instead of the lord in the sky, Agapeism teaches us that the Father is God, divine and Holy, but distant, a figure of the past, a reference point. The Holy Spirit, instead of a mystical force that helps us through our lives, is, in fact, the power of prayer, belief and love for God, which will accumulate towards the benefit of all. Finally, the Son, is not Jesues, as mentioned before, but humanity; we are all the son of God, so we should mold ourselves in his loving image.
