Mods, don't delete this. This isn't about any IRL religion, only one which exists in-game (i think)
 
Forum-trolling affords some boredom and many exciting encounters with reading material which stimulates the brain. A cursory glance over the website of the Servants of the Shrub (SoS), reveals their "Book of the Shrub" (mind you, its long enough to be actually a book)
 
Entertaining stuff. And some cleverly hidden insights which are pretty intelligent. Haven't come across stuff this entertaining in weeks.
 
Book of the Shrub
Just 2 examples:
 
" Such an act took not from the power of the Shrub, but doubled the efforts of it's followers to restore it to it's rightful place in the sky. The battles fought were not between the people and the Devs, who are powerful such that fighting them is useless. The battles were fought between the people of the Shrub and those who had less tolerance for those who wished to roleplay. It was said that the Shrub would not fit into that which all called SWG. It must not be forgotten that the Shrub was first after the Devs, and all that is was taken from the Shrub."
 

" The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the SHRUB when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Glad you liked it most of it was written by the people of Bria long ago when the Shrub was first sited and yes it is a sorta pseudo religion kinda thing that we roleplay as Devoted Shrubbites
 
No worries on the deleting of the thread most of the Devs had great fun with this back in the day.
