I am an Orange Catholic, I was wondering, if any others here who share the faith? Or would anyone wish to ask questions or discuss the religion?
For those not familiar with Orange Catholicism, allow me to write a bit about it so that you might come to some understanding of what I have adopted.
Orange Catholicism is a religion whose main commandment is said to be the core of all religions:
"Thou shalt not disfigure the soul"
The purpose of religion being espoused as:
"Men, finding no answers to the sunnan [the ten thousand religious questions from the Shari-ah] now apply their own reasoning. All men seek to be enlightened. Religion is but the most ancient and honorable way in which men have striven to make sense out of God's universe. Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness."
Moreover, Orange Catholicism espouses the belief that man may not be replaced, stressing the importance of humanity, and urging us not to replace man with machine, something which increasingly appears to be endemic in our society today. This belief is summarized in:
"Thou shalt not create a machine in the likeness of a man's mind"
Orange Catholicism also stresses that life is not sin, not a horror, but rather, a wonderful and pleasing thing:
"Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rules and rote is largely a hoax. The proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you've always known."
Another defining point of Orange Catholicism is, similar to the Bahai faith, is a degree of religious ecumenicism and syncretism:
"In the common belief that there exists a Divine Essence in the universe."
I'll end this post with one more quote:
"Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has powers of reality." - 22 Kalima
