Fiction:Scrolls of Faith

The Scrolls of Faith are a Spodian series of scrolls expressing Spode Faith in a way that appeals to many. They are reviewed by most religious Empire and are sometimes used to describe an archetype.

Scrolls of Faith book 1
“The questions of a million years oppress us. Who am I? Why was I made? What is my purpose? What is the purpose of the Galaxy? Shall I survive after death? Can I be happy? Scientists can only tell us about forces and matter. Philosophers chase each other in circles. None of them can tell us what we really care about.”

Scrolls of Faith book 2
“Only Spode has the answers. Follow the will of Spode, and all shall become clear.”

Scrolls of Faith book 3
“Faith in Spode quiets all doubt. Spode will tell you why you exist, ensures you have a purpose, teaches you how to behave, and ensures your eternal happiness. Those who don’t follow Spode say that there is no evidence for all these assertions, but what evidence is needed, other than the joy in the hearts of those that follow Spode?”

Scrolls of Faith book 4
“It is natural for those who follow Spode to wish to spread this joy. That is why we engage in missionary work and in conquest, so that Spode’s creations may be brought to the One True Way.”

Scrolls of Faith book 5
“That is why we are vigilant against those who do not accept the Truth. If false doctrine causes a follower to doubt, that person’s eternal happiness is in jeopardy! In order to free ourselves from doubt, we strive to eliminate those who do not accept Spode’s word.”

Scrolls of Faith book 6
“Spode’s greatest enemy is the Grox and the False God That Will Come.”

Scrolls of Faith book 7
“The Grox are a machine race incapable of understanding the words of Spode. They are a blasphemy in machine form.”

Scrolls of Faith book 8
“The Grox prevent us from shining the light of Spode on the Centre of the Galaxy. That is why, on the Day of Vengeance, we shall destroy them in Spode‘s holy name.”

Scrolls of Faith book 9
“The False God that Will Come is a false deity. If this god exists at all, it is a demon bent on perverting Spode’s religion. When you encounter his followers, you should know that you have encountered an enemy!”

Scrolls of Faith book 10
“Love Spode and follow his word. Otherwise, your life is meaningless!”
