# Makina
|
|
The deity of the Makinist religion, as machines and knowlage know no concept of gender, Makina does not either. Makina's existance as a physical deity
|
|
cannot be proven, but as an idea, as a thought, they are said to absolutely exist. Denial in the existance of Makina does not make one Unmade, as a [Makinist](/c3)
|
|
is defined by their actions, not by their faith.
|
|
# Light
|
|
The sacred flame of intelligence that each member of Mankind possesses.
|
|
# Unmade
|
|
Those who act counter to Makinist thought, *sinners*, to use the Jehovite anaolgy, small acts of unmaking are to be pardoned, but those who unmake in order to
|
|
hinder Gnosis are to be punished within the extent of the law. We use the term "unmade" in order to signify a lack of creation, as those who seek to destroy
|
|
rather than create run more counter to the Makinist cause of Gnosis. One may mark themselves "unmade" through [differing actions](/c2/sins.html)
|
|
# Jehovite
|
|
Any practicioner of any Abrahamic religion, not nececarly the framework in which Makinism operates.
|
|
# Gnosis
|
|
The final goal of the Makinist religion, by analogy with [Gnosticism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosis) and way of Buddhist [Nirvana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana).
|
|
|
|
Makinism seeks to use practical knowlage of the material world in order to achieve the full potential of Mankind, as this is the great work of Makina.
|
|
With enough understanding and enough utilisation of technology, we will be able to reshape the universe within our image, and become as gods. Already we
|
|
have the power to level mountains, send ourselves to the very stars; this is only a fraction of our potential as a species, and we understand this as a truth.
|
|
|
|
We, as Mankind, shall create our own salvation; in our own image; by our own design; by our own hands. Through our work as Makinists, we shall take Mankind to where
|
|
we believe it should be.
