Gospel
The each of the gods have their own gospel, (also known as a "Bible" or "Holy book"*.
- the unholy gods do not refer to their gospels as Holy books.
Priests of All-That-Is tend to get a bit narky about people making full copies of their Holy books (a large part of a priest's income can be from the manufacture and sale of Holy books) and so the bulk of each gospel is known only to those who own a copy.
Certain parts of each bible have made their way into public knowledge, however. Here are some examples:
The Gospel of Geoff
The Gospel of Geoff starts with the religion's creed: "A biscuit a day is quite delicious." This is normally delivered with a pause after "day".
It goes on to say "Two biscuits a day is even more delicious," continuing in this manner up to "31 biscuits a day, while delicious, may be pushing it a bit."
Nakira's Word
"Nakira's Word" is an expression used by people ironically, to emphasize a lie. "On Nakira's Word, I don't want to marry you." In addition, it is the name of the Bible of Nakira, God of Lies.
Nakira's Word tells more than 23 accounts of how she created the universe, starting with "It was a lie that got out of control". Other stories:
- "Bought it on sale"
- "Created 6 other universes as test runs, before settling on this one"
- Worshippers of Nakira use this to explain where stories of the mythological creatures came from.
- "Lifted a pea, and there it was."
- Regilious scholars are still trying to determine exactly what a "pea" is. Current philosophical theroy is that it is a special cushioned stool, used to rest one's feet upon.
