Quote:Veridicanism
Definition
Veridicanism is a neologism that derives from the word “veridical.”
Veridical, in the case of this word, means true. The suffix -an is combined with veridical to denote a follower of that which is true (Veridican), and -ism is a suffix attached that denotes a doctrine. Thus, according to practicing Veridicans, Veridicanism means The doctrine of those who follow that which is true.
History
Veridicanism is the name of a Christian religion founded by Edward Jerome Gordon in Riverside, California in 1993. It began as the Veridical Christian Society, a protestant non-denominational sect with only a few members, but over the next twenty years evolved into its current form. Veridicanism is the theological philosophy of a group of believers known as Veridicans and they belong to the online Church of the Veridican which started in January of 2013.
Although Veridicans maintain they are Christians, the ideology of Veridicanism is widely dismissed by many other Christians as heretical.

Oh, and:
Quote:2. The human purpose is to be Christ.
"Christ" means God, conscious of Himself, from inside His creation. The human being was created for no other reason. It is our place in universal nature. We were created to be the vehicles God travels around the physical universe in.
