Tarvuism

Look out world, here comes a new parody religion.

Their videos are so flashy and well-produced, with an alluring emotional pull, but one question haunts me:

What the hell is Tarvusim?

They never ever tell you! Something about talking to an octopus, spouting incredibly vague descriptions of one's religion, and reading books at exactly the same pace.

That's probably the joke right there - religions are flashy and contagious and go to great lengths to look pleasant and enjoyable for newcomers, but underneath that shiny exterior, all you have is a bunch of people who believe some really, really crazy things. Instead of being an emotional and social boon, it's actually an intellectual lobotomy.

"It's like my spiritual intelligence has been magnified, like, a billion million thousand times!" :D
