I invented a religion
I invented a religion about 20 years ago. I called it Protonism.
Basically there are two facets of the universe -- Protons, the positive or the good side -- and Electrons, the negative or bad side. We also recognize Neutrons. They are like Switzerland so we don't talk about them much because the idea of gold teeth fillings from dead Jews makes us uncomfortable.
Anyway, the Protons are responsible for all the good things in life like UNICEF or the Red Cross, and the Electrons are responsible for Idi Amin and Adolf Hitler.
We think once we have figured out a way to destroy all of the Electrons in the universe, everything will go bang and we will all be dead. Being dead might sound bad, but at least we will all be made up of only Protons.
We have not been able to raise the funds to build a church yet, but you can send your donations to the PA crew. They will probably keep the money rather than give it to us, but PA crew is mostly Protons anyway, except for Spinner who is definitely an Electron. I think the proof of that is in the ship stat changes each round. I think he told Zeus he is a Proton, but we all know that Electrons lie out of habit.
Anyway, I stopped going to church 20 years ago. As soon as we get one built you are all invited to come to our first service where we hope to have a really big LAN game set up.

Being "good" and being "evil" depends whos perspective you look at it from. e.g Casto.
being an electron or proton are not.
your religion IS FLAWED.

I like to think my religion is only slightly more flawed than the other major religions.
You JammyJim baby are obviously either an Electron or a Neutron. Beg to be a Proton and I might rethink my opinion.

Perhaps those that recognise that good and evil are in the eye of the beer-holder are the Nuetrons of the world?

They are Protons in the eye of the beer-holder.

For some reason people aren't taking the religion seriously.

the sole purpose of your religion appears to be the destruction of the electrons.
When you have destroyed them the reason for your religion will dissapear and you will go mad. Become a hermit, and cackle at passing wenches.

Are they... neutral?
Never mind.

so you plan to destroy all the people you perceive as bad, the people you dont like basically.
So you then have a super race of only good people.

the only thing is your made partly of electrons too and therefore you cant possibly join a church for protons only!

I already cackle at the passing wenches.
The goal of the religion is the destruction of all matter.
Death to all Electrons.

Death to all Antimatterists. They do not have the right to live. There are only five point nine million of them. They should all die.

The gods of Antimatter as you call them do not have that capability. They are stuck in a tiny ****hole part of the Earth and will never escape.

Snurxism is a very nice religion. Protonists attend their religious gatherings occassionally.

Positrons are OK people, not great but OK. They don't really all have to die now, but they will surely die at the end of the universe. (as was foretold in the prophecies)
"Even the Positrons will not survive the end of the universe. Though their false prophets have proclaimed that the followers of the great Posit will live forever and ever, their beliefs are false and they will be cast down at the end of days."

Your religion is dangerous!
Don't we need electrons in the universe? Wouldn't their be inbalance that would destroy the universe? Electrons are their for a reason!
I have a better solution: convert all the elctrons!
