Cult of Dredd
The Cult of Dredd (Also referred to as "Dreddism"), is a splinter branch of the Roman Catholic Church which believes that god has manifested itself as Canadian rapper Freddie Dredd. Although a small minority in the overall Catholic world, it was the state-enforced religion of the Great Euphoria Empire (Nova), and the state-enforced religion of Euphoria (Aurora).
The cult largely follows the teachings of their head and first prophet Dornan, and most of the beliefs are over-exaggerated interpretations of Dornan's ideals. Most, if not all, of the religion is centered around both Euphoric Empires.
Overview
Mythos
Most religious texts describe a tale of 2 homosexual marriages which eventually led to the revelation of Freddie to Dornan.
The two marriages took place in the Columbian capital of Achilla (now Kanye) and both were in some way related to player Kamikokoro (now kamdropz). According to the Dreddist Bible; "...At high noon, on harvest season, BigBroPro0425 and Kamikokoro, were beautifully engaged together, the celebrations were plentiful but shortly after the ceremony, BigBroPro0425 disappeared, never to be seen again..." "...Kami fell into a deep depression, locking himself in his hotel room, before looking for answers in DeadlyFox2003." "...Kami married DeadlyFox2003 on a cloudy winter day, they were proclaimed by the local priest, Dornan, but then a sudden flash of light emanating from Spain tore the marriage apart..."
Evidence of the marriages taking place has been founded in very old scrolls, however, the disappearance of BigBroPro, has been heavily debated, as could still be found at the time of Aurora, which was about a year after the fact. The "sudden ray of light" mentioned has now been considered by many historians to have been the threat of the excommunication of DeadlyFox, which was a Roman Catholic, a religion which shuns homosexual marriages.
Historical Fact
This, heavely debated, founding story has proven to have some truth to it, as the marriages between BigBroPro and Kamikokoro, and DeadlyFox2003 and Kami, did infact take place in the now Euphoric capital of Kanye. However it is often cited that these gay marriages were denounced by both the Church and Deadly's nation, Spain, for their homosexual nature.
Many experts believe that the Cult was simply founded out of spite of not letting gay marriages in the Roman Catholic Church and out of Dornan's pride, which would eventually influence the religion's virtues.
