Church of Apchhi

== The Church of Apchhi ==

==== The role of random ====
What does a world that is absolutely predictable mean? That is what called existance, the small thread of beggining and ending drowning in ocean of emptyness. For every living the world before and after this thread is the same void of nothing. That's why there is no fear of death and no joy of birth for those who worship the God of Random. What is the random? In it's basics it is the mechanism of world's balance. It turns existance in life and focuses on all life's thread instead of beginning and ending of it.
==== The deity ====
The purest form of randomness is The Apchhi. The so called higher power that adds dark and bright lines in your life can take on many forms and use any name they want. /ʌpʧhɪ/ - is the most common pronunciation of their name. Yet, Apchi, Apchii or any other close variations are also acceptable.
==== The church ====
The first church building is planned to be located in Kelvaria, Valresh. The Apchhi priests also provide services for locals, such as construction and maintenance of the cemetery, rituals of burials, weddings and other ceremonies. Also, you can confess at Apchhi Church. You will be heard and your sins will be forgiven.
=== The Doctrines ===
Some orders of the Apchhi Church can be described as chaotic. Although the worshipers of this god call their religion peaceful, they do not consider it wrong to sacrifice livestock and some items. Most likely, the list of main objects for sacrificial rituals was also randomly compiled: baby cows, wooden hoes, gold nuggets, kelp and redstone. It is believed that anything a person can burn in the name of Apchhi, however, the responsibility for choosing lies only with them. The outcome of any of the decisions cannot be predicted.
Apchhi followers are especially interested in objects that they themselves consider random and chaotic. Among them are cheese, chicken eggs, suspicious stew, gunpowder, dynamite, bone meal and fishing rods.
In this religion, there are such prohibitions as: killing children (i.e. those whose life figuratively did not begin), theft (because the result of theft is not random, but predictable - it always ends in a spiritual fall), and the destruction of architecture is also prohibited. Some of the no-go lists also contain random items that are nonetheless still enforced - no dog tail pies, no human clucking until 9 a.m., and the betting of money and shoes in gambling.
