Loafism

Loafism (also know as the Church of Loafism) is an outlook and religion which promotes The Almighty Loaf's ultimate dominance and control over the universe and its inhabitants, along with all yeast based foods and products receiving the proper buttering and toasting in preparation for consumption. Followers of Loafism are commonly referred to as Loafers, in tribute to the original earthly name as self chosen by The Almighty Loaf.

### Bible Scriptures

The Book of Loaf catalogs all writings, scriptures and teachings as related to the Church of Loafism and The Almighty Loaf as found throughout the Bible of Meme.

#### Commandments

The Book of Loaf's first entry, -Sheldor-'s Commandments - The Almighty Loaf, includes the fundamental rules, principals and values that every Loafer must abide by:

 **II -** *A Loaf shall be toasted if thy are not true with butter and such condiments. A Toast is a sin to the Loaves and thus traps thy unicorns.*
 **III -***The Half Loaf has come twice now. The third time shall cause Mr. Gordon Freebread to be flung into the pit of head crabs. Praise the Almighty Loaf.*
 **IV -** *If the Almighty Loaf is not please with his sacrifices, then the bell shall strike. As the striking of the bell begins so does the yodelling. As the yodelling continues, the Chief of Donut Repair will come with his beings of dough and thy will strike ye who has not pleased The Almighty Loaf.*

### Interpretations

Much of the Book of Loaf and indeed the Church of Loafism is derived and interpreted from The Almighty Loaf's initial speech as bestowed unto Earth, named the Speech of Sin:

####

#### Evil Seed

The Almighty Loaf's talk of an 'evil seed' germinating within is considered a metaphor for sin against the religion of Loafism being unforgivable, irreversible and ultimately growing in its severity once is has been committed. In other words, a breach of one of the four commandments causes ever worsening and irreparable damage to Loafism no matter how initially minor the sin may be, the perpetrator of which can never be shown mercy. This concept provides the foundation of the very first commandment of Loafism, in that a sin will ultimately manifest and germinate once it has been committed. This metaphor has also drawn connotations to the concept of 'original sin' for some Meme Scholars.

#### Donut Repair Man

The most ambiguous of the commandments in its explanation is that of the fourth, concerning the intervention of the Chief of Donut Repair to bestow punishment on sinners with his 'beings of dough', as denoted by the strike of a bell. In The Almighty Loaf's Speech of Sin at the timestamp of 00:22, the strike of the bell can be heard, prompting the beginning of the yodeling sequence from the beings of dough and the entry of the Chief of Donut Repair. Conclusions have been made that the Donut Repair Man servers as some kind of executioner to those harboring evil seeds, with the striking of the bell being under direct control by The Almighty Loaf in order to express his acknowledgement of sinners and desires of their executions to the Chief of Donut Repair. This therefore carries implications that The Almighty Loaf does not physically partake in the damning, punishing or execution of sinners, perhaps due to his lack of arms and his form as a loaf of bread. It is therefore possible that The Almighty Loaf has never directly killed or punished anyone, regardless of his satanic portrayal.
