One of the dozens of people who think starting a religion in Cantr is an original idea. There are many many religions and most of them only have one or two followers. One thing that might be worth questioning in this case is that he calls himself "Father", and Cantr doesn't yet have parent-child relationships, thus people shouldn't know what is a mother or a father.

Because Cantr characters, for all of our efforts, can never be really separated from us. If we know what religion is like in real life, we have more difficulty having our characters convincingly adhere to and put serious effort and resources into a religion which, from the outside of the doll house looking in, looks really silly.
And of course there's the problem that many characters are just out to get iron.

And because most(?) players can't really think In Character, and they know that there barely any randomness in Cantr, thus no room for luck or divine guidance. Not to mention that fewer and fewer people in real life are religious, thus they find it hard to play such in a game either. Every man is his own god, thus there's no need nor room for deities and supreme powers.

There is plenty of weird stuff in Cantr that can be a basis for religion. Invisible bodies on cots, phantom ships undocking on paths, mysterious forcfields that zap your eyes with red when you try to hunt some animals on paths.
I submit offerings to the gods, who then give me a mystical phrase to make pictures in my notes, and I pray to them when something happens that goes against nature.
There is plenty in the game to base a religion off of, but people are general.y not creative enough because they've had their brains numbed by TV and computers.

Nice one, Doug R.
There's also possession (suicidal newspawns), world-sweeping acts of god/the gods/David Hasselhoff (major changes such as the global location amnesia which I missed because I wasn't playing then), temporary clairvoyance (players accidentially speaking as another of their charachters, not sure if this actually happens much)...
