Anthemism

[Anthem]

There’s really only three main axioms to Anthemisim, in no particular order:

1. Neil Peart is God
2. Geddy Lee is God
3. Alex Lifeson is God

I know the whole ‘one god in three persons’ concept is kind of radical and silly, but if you think about it, you’ll find that it makes perfect sense. I mean, let’s just take out Geddy, for example. Then you’re left with no low-end. That’s just silly and sad. No, you need all three aspects of this same God for the world to make sense and be tolerable.

From these three tenants a lot can be gleaned. First and foremost, Anthem is all-powerful. This will take some explaining.

You see, there is a magical, white, rectangular prism that Anthem happened upon. With it, He can control God. Spinning his might clickwheel of might Anthem can alter the very fabric of time, causing God to become louder or softer; go forwards, backwards, pause, or restart; shuffle or not shuffle. And with such little effort! I say unto you, if you had but a thumb you could move a mountain.

It occurred to mighty Anthem that if He was the arbiter of God’s fate, and God is the most powerful thing in and/or outside of existence, then Anthem must be even more powerfuler.

But yea, Anthem is not God. How can this be?

It’s a simple recursive iteration. God is the creator of all including Anthem yet Anthem controls God yet God created Anthem yet Anthem controls God…like the stone that God made that He could not lift that He could that He could not–it works out if you keep thinking about it forever…

But anyway, here’s the question:

Anthem just walked by a shiny NEW magical, rectangular prism of might. And it’s blue!!! What might this mean for Anthemism???

Grand Funk Railroad was a better 3 man power group.

Excuse me. Aside from being totally rude, blasphemous, and untrue, that is totally against the rules of this forum:

@TheStumps

When responding to threads in this forum, the responses must stick to only the question at hand directly, and not work at arguing the foundation below the current question.

…

In this forum, theological concepts are examined instead of simply Religion.
This means that, by it’s nature, givens will have to be assumed as true.
This is why it is not appropriate, in this forum, to argue the foundation instead of the theological extension.

This forum is for people to explore more extended and complex constructs in religion by using arguments or discussions built upon multiple concepts of theology that otherwise would be challenged.

Talk about the blue box or get out. Anthemism is not interested in you opinion of its foundation.

Lit, I’ve always loved that song, “we’re an american band”. When I was a teenager I had an afro like 3 feet wide, and I really looked up to those guys. Grand Funk Railroad is awesome.

Hey there Smears, I’ve admired GFR from their humble beginnings. I could never mesh up to Rush. I suppose Geddy’s voice went cross-grain to my likings.

I suppose though I should step out of this thread. It wouldn’t be fair to derail Anthem’s thread with GFR.

[Anthem]

Exactly.

By the by, if anyone hates the sound of Geddy’s voice, I’m prepared to spread the Gospel. I’ve made an all Rush instrumental mix for my wife because she suffers from the same disease as you. I’d be happy to send it to you. Better instrumental Rush in the world than no Rush.

I mean God.

By the way, the symbol of Anthemism is kind of like this:

…but the upright crossbeam is supposed to be more of a landscape of the assorted artwork rather than a collage. Flowy, dreamy, ethereal.
