Verse:Hmøøh/Ngedhraism

Ngronaism (ing-ROH-nay-iz-əm (AmE) or ing-RON-ay-iz-əm (BrE), Eevo: Ñronaivih /ˈŋrɔnaivih/, Windermere: Thăngop Ronea 'Ngrona religion', Clofabosin: Ronevatran 'Ngrona-faith') is a religion founded by Anbirese pĭda (religious teacher) Emisom Jeodgan. The religion teaches that the Second Mover (Eevo: a Nwtxáh Arn; a concept borrowed from Mărotłism) exists in the external world as a goddess named Ñrona, not merely as a force that exists within the mind; she is loving towards all sentient beings and wants to liberate them. Ngronaists believe that she is in opposition with the First Mover, a demiurge who created the current world with all the evil and suffering in it, and that she will eventually defeat the First Mover and usher in her heaven where all sentient beings who meditated upon her will go and rejoice in her radiance and beauty.

(Ngrona is basically Amitābha + the Monad.)

History

Jeodgan

Anbirese religious reformer Emisom Jeodgan was inspired by old Second Mover writings for his own idea of the Second Mover: He drew up an old Talmic goddess "Ngrona" (Eevo: Ñrona, Anbirese: Ngroneo, from hypothetical Tigol *Ñronae, from Thensarian Ȝronaeae), and claimed that she was the Second Mover. The First Mover, on the other hand, was an illegitimate demiurge who kept humans in the prison full of death and suffering, and our only salvation was to break out of the prison by any means necessary. Because of its promise of universal salvation, Ngronaism gained widespread popular appeal when it was founded.

Jeodgan greatly loosened Mărotłian religious laws at first, for example lifting the ban on eating land vertebrate meat.

However, some of his followers went even more hardline on vegetarianism, prohibiting all animal products that required killing the animal.

Basic tenets

Completion of the Law

Ngronaists hold that Ngrona has already completed the list of all laws that humanity is to follow, referenced in the following passage:

φess·θūdiāsor subanmanōȝi φarnoe φinnom ābotot δulaħnar oncat ħlicnar...

"Let the Second Mover complete this book of laws and rites..."

Namely, her prophet Jeodgan found a prooftext for this in the early canonical texts, that the authority of the Mărotłian Pĭdas is null and void.

Reincarnation

Ngronaists believe that a soul which has existed since times immemorable, floats around until it finds a human body. When a body dies the soul immediately latches onto another body. Ngronaism invented a multiverse to square this form of reincarnation with population growth; a soul can also reincarnate in a different universe in the multiverse.

Textual canon

Like its sister religion Mărotłism, Ngronaism has an "open source" textual canon which allows additions.

Symbols and rituals

Ngronaism uses symbols, allegories, myths and rituals copiously, many of them of syncretistic origin; however, it emphasizes that these are allegories and myth, designed for absorption by the limited human mind.

Contemporary Ngronaism

anyway the idea is that sticking to tradition is against the will of the 2nd mover - this is where Jeodgan kinda introduces manichean dualism regardless of what god or anyone tells or you you should do, the second mover is what has the final say

the god to follow regardless of whether there is a god
