Religions
 
OK, Muds are very spiritual people, but what do they actually believe in?
Post Theroys here.

I'm curious about that as well. I think it would have alot to do with nature, they veiw scrabs, paramites, and probably other critters as sacred dont they?

I have a friend name Theroy.

Ok since Mudokins most likely worship Shrykull as their god half paramite and scrab which represents certain sacred creatures of wildlife. Theres your answer dude. Its simple they worship all kinds of wildlife. There is no need for a theory on this one because we already know what they worship.

They, such as Aborigin , ancient Japanese , American Indians, and Eskimo... also believe the soul in Nature.

It is called by Animism...maybe..

hmmm you are talking about the past mudokons right? Because the actual ones don't care as much about religion as they did in the past.

Well we all know the Mudokons often use a wildlife animal as symbol for their tribe. You can see huge statues of Scrabs, Paramites and Elums in the Mudokon temples.

So like all of you I will say the believe in the nature and in the spirit of each object and they also believe in some gods (like the shrykull).

Mud Religion
 
Mudokons probably believe in one almighty Odd who is the ultimate being. But to make things "easier" for their simple minds, they break Odd into various "mini-gods" which they worship. There are many of these lesser religious entities and each tribe focuses on on particular "god" or aspect of the great and powerful Odd.

There are no religious texts or laws, just karma which means that you must fulfill your duty in life to be rewarded in the next one.

Very similar to Hindu beliefs.

Khanz, intresting theory... so the shrykull is only one of the "mini-god"? that can be very intresting in the next games to see that

ODD
 
We are studying India in school right now and the more I think about it, the more that what we know about the mudokon religion seems to fit in with Hinduism.

The shrykull could be similar to Shiva, the Hindu "god" of destruction.

TheKhanzumer, we studied that a year ago, realy intresting...
It is also true I made the link in the past, I dunno why I didn't talk about

Elements, such as religion, history, folklore, and cultural anthropology, are always contained in Odd-style.
They entertain us.
They make our knowledge rich.
Odd-style is always stimulative.

Um I'm not Chinese so don't take my word for it, but don't they view tigers as sacred in China (similar to the Paramite and Scrab worship with the Mudomo and Mudanchee tribes)? (i know it doesnt really give any real perspective or profound indight on what Mudokon religion could be, but i thought it was an interesting comparison)

I think that they beleve in nature. They are using there spirits to let the land grow. And they can also look at the television that way too.
