Golden Cloth of the spider god...

This would be cool if they could make clothes from this on a large scale - you would never need to buy other clothes again. Golden cloaks for all my cult members.

This must be why the drow are so badass, even the poorest of them is running around in kevlar clothing. (the spiders they get their silk from are monstrously large)

Of course the bad part of clothing made from spider silk, is it always gets stuck on your face and in your mouth (yuck!) when you try to put it on.

Judging by the expression on his face, I'd put money on it.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CHURCH OF UNIVERSAL TRUTH

The Church Of Universal Truth was created on the Internet. And for those prepared to comment on its primitive beginnings, it was considered by many as a Joke and consequently ridiculed and insulted. It was however not a Joke but a subtle inroad into the hearts and minds of the vulnerable; People who were in need of a new reality based entirely on a Doctrine of Truth.

A DOCTRINE OF TRUTH
String Theory invalidates Religion and Evolution.
The Universe is Debris of Change in Possibility.
Time is continuous Change in Possibility.
The Singularity is Point of Change in Possibility.
Only Life can create change in Possibility, and only from outside the Universe.

Politics and Wealth being inevitable in a failed understanding of the Universe, We must consider both the Political Financial as a potential extension of any Doctrine of Truth that they not become conflicted. It is therefore necessary to ensure that a Political Agenda conform to a Doctrine of Truth.

A POLITICAL AGENDA
Every Act of Government, Law, Constitution, and Sovereign shall require the direct and regular approval of Every Citizen.

Likewise we must ensure that the Church has a financial policy that preserves that Agenda and protects the Church from the misuse of both. It becomes necessary to establish rules regarding Membership Fees and Donations.

DONATIONS
Donations will be the only accepted source of Church Income and said funds shall be directed toward:
(a) the Construction of Urban High-rise Barracks to provide housing for Nurses, Doctors, Police men, Ambulance Medics, Firemen, and the Homeless and unemployed who will be provided as priority Jobs and Training (see section b) and;
(b) The Construction of an urban high-rise Farm for the purpose of employing and training the Homeless and unemployed in Dairy work and Fish-farming in a Technologically Modern Urban Environment.

With Donations being the only source of acceptable income, the Church of Universal Truth can ensure that its membership is open to all.

MEMBERSHIP
FEES
Membership in the Church of Universal Truth shall carry no financial burden on any who would be a member of the Church of Universal Truth. Thus there shall be no Membership Fees.

ESTABLISHING A CHAPTERHOUSE OR DIOCESE
Anyone may establish a Chapterhouse or Diocese of the Church of Universal Truth and that a Chapterhouse or Diocese shall have a Synod Council consisting of all members of that Chapter House or Diocese conforming to all the obligations of membership in the Church of Universal Truth without question. Such a Chapterhouse or Diocese shall be limited to a Single Nation.
A Chapterhouse or Diocese may collect Donations according to the rules of the Church of Universal Truth and direct the use of those finances toward the Economic policies of the Church of Universal Truth.

Ex Ratio,

Sean Robert Meaney
Church Founder
