Post Guess the religion's central figure/theme...
...Based on the first line of its religious text.

Quote:
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE UP AND THE DOWN
AND IT WAS VERY HIGH AND VERY HEAVY BETWEEN THEM.


It might be a bit vague with just that to go by, but see what you can do.

Hmm, that does work too.

This one is actually one of my coworker's religion though. Not Kyuss based.

Does it have a strange charm to it?

One of the religion's patron saints is Blaise Pascal.

Oh, i forgot about this.

My coworker Tim is a Forkliftian.

They maintain that essentially, the Great Forklift lifted mankind into existence, as indeed it lifts all things. And so, also of course, at the end of all things will the Forklift bring them all back down to their basest levels.

There is a lot of religious figure crossover with the Forkliftians and the offshoot sect that calls themselves the Elevatorians. Both think very highly of Blaise Pascal and Joseph Bramah for their developmental work regarding the discovery of hydraulic cylinders, but the Elevatorians do not recognize the saintly status of HT Hallowell or Frederic Leisen for instance, with regards to their own works regarding the raising into existence and refinement of the shipping pallet.

Simlilarly, the Forkliftian religion has much less of a focus on confined spaces(Elevatorian churches are incredibly small) and does not consider it sinful or blasphemous(in stark contrast to the Elevatorian belief system) to have the holy hydraulic mechanisms exposed for any and all to see.

Hmm. That's an interesting one. Rather modern and workmanly. I see certain parallels between them and the followers of BELT.
