Goaboanism

Goaboanist Mogi

Goaboanism is a monotheistic and messianic religious sect that believes that the prophet, Goaboa, was the messiah. Much like Phantomism they are a very ancient religion founded around the end of the Bronze Age. As described in their holy book, On Faith, Goaboa is a mysterious holy man who wandered the fertile crescent during the bronze age collapse, and was sacrificed to the Phoenician god Ba'al. He is believed to have died so that man may respawn, and Goaboanists believe that Goaboa will return during the end times to reward the righteous.

The Goaboanist Religion has three distinct holy sites:

**Alexandria:** Where Goaboa first step foot, along the banks of the Nile River, and where his teaching and journey began.

**Mecca:** The first Goaboanist city, it was founded by Mohammad and Sneed the Evangelist, where Mohammad ascended to Heaven to join his brother.

**Jerusalem:** Where Mohammad and Goaboa first met as brothers, and where they founded the Church upon **the Mount of Olives.**

Goaboa had two primary disciples, The Prophet Mohammad, believed to also be the Son of God, and The Great Imam, Sneed, who documented Goaboa's travels, and founded and consecrated Mecca.

Their symbols include a flame, representing the flame Goaboa was martyred to, the star and crescent, dervied from their journey to the east out of Egypt to the Levant, and a Mogi, which is an arc shape with a middle connecting bit, creating a hole and a notch into the half-circle.

A lesser known holy book in Goaboanism is Muhammad's Proverb, which is a short saying ascribed to Mohammad concerning the awe and power of Allah.

### Theology

The core tenants in Goaboanist theology can be found within their texts, the founding document, On Faith, is a primary source of the events which originally sparked the religion. Other ancient texts like the Sinaite Law are equally important to their belief. Shortly after the departure of Muhammad and Goaboa from the Earth, Saint Sneed the Evangelist and Saint Christopher and other prominent followers came together in the Council of Hattutsa, where they laid out the core foundation of their theology; the Covenant, the Covenant of Hattutsa goes as follows:

```
For there is only one God among the heavens, whom hath begotten two sons,
Goaboa and Muhammad our Lords, from the loin of the Virgin Fatima, daughter
of Adam. For through his sons God hath spake thy will into the Texts and
that through his grace mankind will be saved.

```

This is the base standard of all Goaboanist theology, outside of the holy texts. The main features are ideas such as The Reincarnation, and Salvation of Man by Goaboa, The Ascension of Muhammad, The Gemini and belief in the two sons of God, The Trinity of the Nature of God, the Tetrad of the Holy Family and of God, The Cult of Saints, and that of Sinaite Law; which is a list of 440 laws given to Goaboa and Mohammad during their argument over their divinity.

The main figures in Goaboanism are as follows:

**God/Allah:** The Only God, God of all that Is an Will Be

**Goaboa:** Son of God, Savior of Man, Protector of all the Land

**Mohammad:** Son of God, Bringer of Peace and War, called Hammond in Latin and later Orthodox Goaboanism

**The Holy Ghost:** Aspect of God, Order of the Universe, Divine Plan

**Baal:** False God, Evil Being

Since the late first century BC, around 50 BC - 50 AD, Goaboanism differentiated into multiple sects during the Pax Romana period, which saw Goaboanists spread outside of the levant and into mainland europe and mesopotamia. The sects would evolve into Orthodoxy, and Islam.

In modern times Old Goaboanism is largely extinct, except in remote areas of Egypt and Judea.
