Eternalism is an offshoot of Christianity founded in 2055 by the Prophet Anor. It was met with severe criticism in its first few years but slowly gained a steady following.
Eternalism has long been known to accept donations from Corporations such as Genetek Revival and Sense/Net. Genetek has supported the religion since its inception in one way or another.
The Book of the Eternal Soul was written by the Prophet Anor in 2068. The Eternalism Bible contains all the books of a normal Christian Bible with the addition of the Book of the Eternal Soul.
The Book of the Eternal Soul seeks to compare cloning to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, while at the same time putting a religious spin on Degenerative Clone Disorder.
Eternalists believe in the Christian Doctrine and Holy Communion; however, they believe that God gave Man the knowledge of cloning so that we could honor the life and death of his son Jesus Christ by following in his footsteps.
Fundamentalist Christians have a very harsh view of Eternalism, and an even harsher view of cloning. They believe that clones are nothing more than soulless demons.
Eternalism has grown over the years into one of the world's predominant religions. Pulling its following from mainstream Christianity. Most of its followers have clones themselves. It has been called the religion of the rich by critics because it appeals more to those who have or plan on having clones one day.
Traditional Christian followers are commonly thought of as poor, or unable to afford a clone. Studies have shown that if a traditional Christian obtains a clone, the majority of the time they begin practicing Eternalism within the first year.
Whenever the Prophet Anor plans to give a speech, Fundamentalist Christians usually turn out to protest. The Pope usually supports these protests.
