The Church of Euthanasia is a non-profit, tax-exempt platform for gating the ivory-horned avenues of a new ecclesiasticism. This ecclesiasticism, bred of scientific rigor and studious, well-studied evidence, consists of on- and offline sermons, tracts, and zines, public notereity- and pessimism-raising activism, and viral, optimism-falling and -failing events.
It has but One Commandment.
Flowed from the unyielding interstices of that commandment, it has but Four Pillars.
Raiazome conspiratorially agrees with most the eventful dogma of this Church; and, as such, reprints the most revelatory of this dogma, below.
The Church of Euthanasia promotes anti-ecocidal enlightenment vis-a-vis voluntary population reduction, as refined by this entry of their FAQ:
The Church of Euthanasia is a non-profit educational foundation devoted to restoring balance between Humans and the remaining species on Earth. We believe this can only be accomplished by a massive voluntary population reduction, which will require a leap in Human consciousness to a new species awareness.
The Human population is increasing by one million every four days. This is a net increase of 95 million per year, the current population of Mexico. Even major wars or epidemics hardly dent this rate of growth, and modern wars also have tremendous environmental consequences. It is for these practical reasons, as well as moral ones, that we support only voluntary forms of population reduction.
The Church has only one commandment, and it is “Thou Shalt Not Procreate.” In addition, we have four “pillars” or principles, which are Suicide, Abortion, Cannibalism and Sodomy.
Note that cannibalism is only required for those who insist on eating flesh, and is strictly limited to consumption of the already dead. Also note that sodomy is defined as any sexual act not intended for procreation: fellatio, cunnilingus, and anal sex are all forms of sodomy and are still illegal in some parts of the United States.
