With the Inquisition picking up, we (meaning I) decided to recruit missionaries for converting people in other nations. You can find out more here: pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...D=32.topicand you cna ask questions, i guess...though you shouldn't question the system...just eat the bagel!! -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar. - SCOTT: You know, I always joke about how nothing will ever be able to get me out of micronations...but...I think if my mother got into micronations that would get me out in a hurry. - GUILDENSTERN:We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

I'm going to have to come out against missionarying.Why? A couple of reasons. One, Boomism isn't *really* a religion. It's more of a "we thought it would be funny to take some things and make them into gods". As such, it would be difficult to spread. In fact, as yet, we don't really have anything except a list of gods. There's no commandments to tell people to follow, no services to tell people to do, et cetera.Two, I've had a lot of experience with the Treesian Unorthodox Church, which I thought was very well conceived and very well planned, but it still was very difficult to mission. Often we were competing against Christianity or some similar real-world religion, and it seemed a bit deceptive to be spreading this religion that we made up as some sort of truth, especially when we are working "against" religions whose proponents really do believe them and which, for all I or anyone else knows, may turn out to be true.Three, I just think that people who see we're spreading a religion called Boomism might think we're crazy. Moreso than they already do.Four, history seems to have told us that spreading religions in micronationalism really doesn't work all that well. I have more to say, but I forgot it. "The Lord is a shoving leopard." - Reverend William Spooner

People don't like being told how to worship...we just like to tell them what gods to worship...but fine, kill our fun... -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar. - SCOTT: You know, I always joke about how nothing will ever be able to get me out of micronations...but...I think if my mother got into micronations that would get me out in a hurry. - GUILDENSTERN:We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.
