If you thought you were going to get off easy and that the Church of
Reality believed that everything was ok - you're wrong. The Church of
Reality supports a lifestyle the reflects our Sacred Mission and our
Sacred Principles. If we support The Principle of Positive Evolution
and want to move society forward in the Sacred Direction then we need
to live our lives in a progressive manner. We are people who are good
citizens, productive members of society, and we live our lives to make
our world a better place to live.
We however do not require a bizzare lifestyle like other religions. You
don't have to shave your head, wear an orange robe or burka, go around
knocking on doors asking people to accept Darwin or Newton, no praying
or chanting is required, no strange rituals, holy books to swear on, no
robes, beads, prayer cloths, piercings, snake handling, or special
diets. You don't worship a diety, not required to honor the sabbath,
(although getting some rest is a good idea - work hard - play hard) we
don't control who you vote for, no mass weddings, no vows of celebacy
or silence, no female oppression, no holy wars, and no deities will
order you to kill anyone.
We believe in promoting a common sense healthy livestyle where everyone
is encourged to be a productive upstanding part of society. We are to
be "good people" - the kind of people that others look up to - who
other want to be around - who others consider to be honest, reliable,
trustworthy, respectful, humble, and helpful.
Generally the Church of Reality subscribes to the principles of Secular Humanism with the addition of the religious responsibilities, as outlined by the Sacred Missions, added to it. The Humanists have already done a lot of work in this area and although no one it perfect they seem to be on the right track in general. So - until something better comes along, we endorse Humanism as the recomended lifestyle for Realists.
The lifestyle of Realists in general is based on personal freedom. We aren't here to tell you how to live your life. But we hope to be able to help provide assistance and structure in developing a good lifestyle template.
