[Toppot]

didn't one of those guys use to draw the most creepy porn based off of her? I remember stumbling into something like that on encyclopedia dramatica. Both the article and his drawings were insanely detailed.

Yeah, if you look for Rangerphile on that site they are there...

Took me ages to recognize the mouse, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, Gadget Hackwrench for those wondering

 

[Xisiqomelir]

Seriously. It takes a pretty high level of willingful ignorance to say shit like that. I'm an atheist and I can't stand organized religion, but to deny the value in a lot of the biblical canon (or the non canon works for that matter) is just stupid.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen in my life.

...I mean Vegeta is way cooler than Goku.

Please. Vegeta's entire purpose in life is to be in a constant state of awe of Goku's magnificence

And it took 3 days...

for him to transform into SSJ3.

Who here said the Bible was not valuable?

I meant in general. the sort of played out "hurr hurr its just like catholicism" shit I see a lot. Its intellectually lazy. There are a lot of ways to beat the shit out of religion, this is just a sort of easy route to take if you don't want to put a lot of thought into your criticisms.

Well obviously the Bible was a lot more influential.

And people are having fun. This isn't a theological debate thread.

 

[maxxpower]

I never liked Goku, he couldn't get the job done unlike Gohan.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Join me brothers and sisters, I welcome you into the fold. For the mere cost of $10,000, I will teach you how to ascend.

 

[Devolution]

Is this their Eucharist?

 

[Claude]

Not the weirdest religion based on a animated character I've seen.

 

[Parallax]

with all the spiteful god flak christianity gets. I donr know why anyone would become a gokuist. Goku was a shitty father

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I like this more than the Bible.

At least Goku was altruistic unlike God.

 

[Fusion Pizza]

I need to tell all of my friends

...wat?

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but I'm just too curious. Is there page detailing this religion like the link to Gokuism in the OP? I want to read it for the lulz.

 

[Riddick]

Much better story than the Bible, way less plot holes too. I think I'll convert.

 

[[Clark Gable]]

Because it's absurd to believe a fictional character as your deity/god right?

I mean how absurd would it be if millions were like this? OH WAIT.

ARE YOU FUCKING TRYING TO TELL ME BATMAN IS NOT REAL??? Fuck that noise, how am I suppose to sleep at night knowing he's not protecting the streets while I am asleep?

 

[Takao]

i'm okay with this

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

C'mon people, I don't think this deserves to become one of those threads. Goku deserves better.

 

[Takao]

Kai must be like the abridged version of a Bible for Dummies.

That sounds about right. Original series or bust, especially since many of his best teachings are in the fillers.

 

[Takao]

Are these false prophets?

 

[jaxword]

He sent his only son down to die in His place to save humanity.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Goku would beat up every single other religion's messianic figure. So that makes this religion the best.

Wait a minute.

Church of Goku = that means he's the "God" right?

That doesn't seem fair. If you want to have a grand melee, put him up with those also attributed with the name "God".

I'd say a lot of them would beat him up very good. In terms of Godhood power, Goku is actually really, really weak. Hell, even Shen Long should be the one this church worship since he can make a destroyed earth return back to its previous state just by an "Ok!"

But first, everyone sings the sacred hymn.

God wasn't that strong compared to Goku after buu saga. He is still a pretty cool dude though.

 

[IC_Champion]

So, is this religion's version of the devil,

Dabura

?

Technically, that's just the God of the afterlife tournament.

The Supreme God, creator and controller of the entire Dragonball Universe is...

[jaxword]

The best part is that they officially clarified who God is in the Dragonball universe:

The way this post sounds, you think the comparison to Christianity is a negative, in which case shame on you for thinking that Gokuism has no value. I'd follow Goku's teachings just as readily as following Christianity or any other religion, most of them have a positive message except Gokuism doesn't require me to believe in God.

 

[Dresden]

will Goku make me kill my firstborn son?

Regardless of your feelings on religion, Goku's general characterization has positive traits that it wouldn't hurt to emulate:

-Try your best and never give up
-Give people a chance to redeem themselves
-Help others who need it without any thought of reward (it's understated, but Goku saves the entire planet yet lives in a small farm in the forest)

well actually chi-chi's father is very rich and probably takes care of all the finances. and didn't Goku win one of the tournaments? that's like ten million zeni right there.

Where does Dinobot fit in all this? He died for mankind too.
