Fiction:Eterfiammatheism

"Elements are the essence of life."

- Mudrix, the great Oracle

The Sylit Republic has freedom of religion, but the official religion is Eterfiammatheism. About 96.7% of Sylits believe in Eterfiammatheism, and a few Capricornians and Jovar.

Teachings of Eterfiammatheism
Eterfiammatheism is a polytheistic religion. Most teachings come from the Eterfiammatheistic holy book, the Kosma. It was given to the prophet Mudrix in 1,662 B.S.A. by the Flame. The Flame commanded Mudrix to pass the book down for generations, and that every religious leader of the Sylits will add to it. There are 39,304 pages in the Kosma, which is 34 (a Eterfiammatheistic holy number) cubed. Only 3,120 pages have been written in.

The Flame
Eterfiammatheism is the belief that the Flame is the supreme being that created most life, and fire. The Flame has three different names: Aturo, Poziar, and Zalamen.

Pokets
Pokets are the angels of the Flame. Eterfiammatheists believe that when the Flame created the Pokets, they were just going to be another animal. But he found great potential in them, and let them become his helpers and servants when they died. The Flame then decided to make them his warriors of his heavenly kingdom, while the Sylits were the warriors of his earthly kingdom. The Flame then decided to keep them in his kingdom so they wouldn't have to go through the pain of death, and changed them to make them look more divine. He gave them wings, changed their mouth, and changed their feet. This change is called the Divinity Transformation.

Other Major Gods
The other major gods of Eterfiammatheism are the Water, the Land, and the Wind. They are believed to have created life that the Flame didn't create, as well as the elements they represent.

Minor Gods
A few minor gods are the Sky, the Cosmos, the Void, and the twin gods the Lightning and the Thunder. The minor gods did not create any life, but made what they are (like the sky and the cosmos).

Mythology
The Flame and his three brothers, the Wave, the Wind, and the Land, help keep the Universe in balance. The Flame decided to create Ramvelkys Galaxy.... MORE SOON!

Virtues
There are seven Eterfiammatheistic virtues:
 * Justice- The concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity, along with the punishment of the breach of said ethics.
 * Generosity- The habit of giving freely without expecting anything in return. It can involve offering time, assets or talents to aid someone in need.
 * Honor- The evaluation of a person's trustworthiness and social status based on that individual's actions. Honor is deemed exactly what determines a person's character: whether or not the person reflects honesty, respect, integrity, or fairness.
 * Wisdom- A deep understanding and realizing of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the best results with a minimum of time and energy wasted.
 * Humility- The quality of being modest, reverential, even politely submissive, and never being arrogant, contemptuous, or rude.
 * Hope- The belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is a feeling that something desired may happen, when the outlook may or may not warrant it.
 * Determination- Setting oneself on a goal and firmly trying to achieve that goal, going through whatever hardships they must pass.

Prophecies
Many prophecies of The Flame have been fulfilled, and here are some examples-

''The ones we thought had left, are closer than we think. The purple will become allies, and against the blue we will rally.''

''The purple will leave, but the blue will become nasty. Then they will run from the power of the Flame!''

''We will meet them again, some years after that, and the blue will still be nasty. The purple will be friends, and the blue will flee from the power of the Flame!''

This prophecy, from the Foreteller Lexeran, predicted the Sylits finding the Cybuntas and Trilx after they left the continent in the Tribal Era. The Cybuntas will be friends, but the Sylits will go to war with the Trilx. The Cybuntas left when the war started, and the Trilx left the planet after the Sylits defeated them. In the Space Age, The Sylits met the Cybuntas and Trilx again, and again the Trilx and the Sylits went to war, and again the Trilx ran after the Sylits started winning.

''The Sylits will meet a great potential ally. They will be friends, and during a war, the friends will cry! Many will die, and the Sylits will supply; the Sylits and ally will defy all odds and beat the evil eye.''

This prophecy is thought to have been fulfilled, as Sylit Purities think it was based on the Second Galactic War. The friends or allies were the Rambo, while the evil eye was the Imperial Alliance.
