By now, you may be asking yourself, "Why do these people call what they do a religion? They don't seem to worship anything". In fairness, however, a religion need not involve any sort of supernatural beliefs. The best definition of the term religion we've ever found reads roughly thus: "A codified system of ethics and beliefs". We've gone over the ethics already. Now for the beliefs.
If there were any concept of "god" that all members of the Church of Stuff could agree upon, it would be the concept that every person is their own god. An Autothiesm, if you will. Each person is the supreme authority which they have to answer to; the final say in any moral judgement, and the prime motivating factor in every event in their own lives. morality is so subjective, so artificial a concept that the moral judgements of any two people who are willing to consider their own moral codes and act upon their considerations are equal in value and worth. We are, each of us, the masters of our own lives. Gods of our own little worlds.
Collected here are various peices of writing from many of our members. Some of them pertain directly to the CoS. some of them are on philosophy and life in general. Some of them are to do with more eclectic topics. Collectively, though, they illustrate thesorts of people we are, the sorts of ways we think, and thesorts of things we concern ourselves with.
The Church has as many viewpoints as it has members, and although weagree upon certain operating principles, we hold no truths to be self-evident. Read and learn who we are.
