Googlism

[catholick345]

So, I found out about this religion online. What’s the deal? They seem to make some strong points, but I’m not sure if they are actually serious or if they are a parody.

They don’t seem as devout as the Landover Baptists.

This reminds me of certain fanbases making religions based on their fanbases.
Also, Poe’s Law.

Yes, there were those who worshiped characters from the Twilight series. Seeing as the fad died out, they are virtually gone.
