Religion of Deusism

== History ==
Thousands of years ago in the city of Nahrayn, Deus came down and told everyone he was the one and true God of Rathnir. Deus then revealed his words everyday and talked to the Nahrayn people. The Nahrayn people documented what Deus would say everyday, and after Deus was done revealing himself they collected the documents and put them in one book called the Holy Deusrah. Deusism then became the fastest growing religion in ancient Rathnir. However, there were some people who believed Deus was a hoax. These people are called the disbelievers. A powerful earthquake then hit ancient Rathnir, and all the believers of Deus passed away. The only survivors were the disbelievers, and they carried on humanity. That is why Deusists [also known as the righteous] believe Rathnir is affected by sin, because the disbelievers carried on humanity and they spread their doctrines. Thousands of years later in modern day Rathnir, a man by the name of Abd al Hakim was digging out sand on the outskirts of the city of Nahrayn and he found a chest with an old book inside. The old book was called the Holy Deusrah, and he picked it up and read it. While he was reading it, he felt a pulsing sensation in his heart telling him this was the truth, and he then carried on the religion and then became the head of the faith.
=== The Holy Deusrah ===
The Holy Deusrah is a collection of documents of what people saw and heard of Deus thousands of years ago, and is believed to be the exact word of Deus. There are many other books that did not make it into the Holy Deusrah, those books are called the Additional Books of Deus. The documents inside of the Holy Deusrah are in time line order and are believed to be an accurate documentation of Deus, and that is why the people put those specific documents in there thousands of years ago.
== Beliefs ==
Deusists believe Deus is the one true God of Rathnir. They believe that Deus is the deity who spoke to the people of ancient Nahrayn, and they believe he spoke to the people over the course of 10 days. Then, they believe that after the earth quake that killed all the Deusists [the righteous people], the disbelievers carried on humanity and spread their false gods and religions. That is why they believe Rathnir is affected by sin, because the disbelievers carried on humanity. Finally, Deus is believed to have given the people his 10 edicts over the course of 10 days. Everyday, Deus would name one edict then go in depth with it. The following are the 10 edicts of Deus:
# Deus is the one and true God of Rathnir
# Deus is the only way to paradise in the afterlife
# Killing other players is forbiden unless one is fighting for Deus in battle
# Rathnir is affected by sin and the only unsinful way to live is through Deus
# Deus is all forgiving to all people of Rathnir
# Other religions are falsified and have false gods
# Every Deusist must not ever convert to another religion
# Deusists must pray in a deusque in the morning, noon and night
# Help fellow Deusists in life
# Spread the holy words of the Holy Deusrah to other people
=== Practices ===
Deusists worship and pray in a Deusque. The Deusque is the house of worship for Deus and Deus orders his followers in the Deusrah to build a house of worship for him in the Holy Deusrah. Deusists pray by going into a Deusque, crouching down, and bowing ones head. Deusists must also travel Rathnir and spread Deusism to the people of Rathnir. Deusists must also pray once a day and a big prayer gathering takes place once a week where all Deusists from around Rathnir must pray while one person reads the entire Holy Deusrah.
