Harveyism

First order of business- I don't know whether this is an IAtionary entry or not... It's kinda a hybrid between IAtionary and normal... Well I'll consider it half-and-half. Second order of business, define Harveyism:

Harveyism [HAHR-vee-iz-uhm] n.
1. The religion associated with the followers of Harvey, defined by their blind faith in Him and belief that He can do no wrong
2. The summation of the belief system, values, and duties of Harvey and Harveyists
3. A JOKE: yes, we understand that Harvey is a freshmen, (edit: sophomore... weird. Re-edit: junior, weirder) not a deity, and no, I will not mention this fact again. I am going to write this (and all future text relating to Harveyism) as if it were real, because it's more fun that way, but please know that this started as, and remains now and forevermore, a joke. If you feel you may be offended by the lack of respect for the actual religions of the world, please refer back here. Thanks for your cooperation! :)

Who is this Harvey, you ask? Well if you are asking this, you are clearly an outsider. Well, I suppose that the point of the Internet is to make this valuable information available to you outsiders, so here it is: Harvey (whose last name shall remain hidden from the Internet for safety rea-- errr I mean because Harvey wills it!) is a junior at the IA who is very...well...interesting. He rarely smiles, but only because He seems to find life more interesting that way. He always has this great straight face on, except when you ask Him something that He doesn't want to answer. His face then changes ever so slightly to this amazing scowl that only Harvey can accomplish properly. This description is, of course, far from adequate, but it'll have to do for now. To find out more, you must open your soul to Harvey.

The following is taken directly from dictionary.com:
Har·vey [hahr-vee]
1. a male given name: from Germanic words meaning “army” and “battle.”
Coincidence? I'll leave that up to you...

The following are some of the laws/commandments/rules/whatever of Harveyism:

-Harvey is God, God is Harvey (the most important one)
-The divine number is 888
-There is an Antiharvey, whose name shall not be mentioned here for fear of his/her finding out. If you know who it is, laugh quietly to yourself at this point
-The number of the beast shall be 999
-We do have a creation story, which, due to its excess awesomeness, shall be given its own post soon
-The holy language is Harvey's native language, Martian. It is difficult for mortal earthlings to speak, although we can learn it. But, according to Harvey, we have a dreadful accent
-We do not have a holy text (yet), until now Harveyism has been entirely an oral tradition

That'll do for laws for now- the full moral code is still under construction. Basically, if you're a Harveyist and not sure what to do, imagine what Harvey would do in your situation. Just be sure there's a defribulator handy.

As I said, the creation story is coming soon. here's a teaser for those of you who are interested:

In the beginning, there was Harvey. Harvey said, "Let there be an..."

More to come!

Psh, good job Josh.

Although I must say that Harvey requires your full cooperation...thus you must add pictures of Harvey to make it official.

In fact, [since I believe I started Harveyism...for real] I have some that you can laugh at...they were quite the accomplishment to get. :D

This blog is AWESOME by the way!

Sincerely,
Lizzy the Fearless Leader.

Did you really start Harveyism? Nifty. I know that I didn't start it; I like to think of myself as Harveyism's Noah- I kept it going through the flood, when no one else believed in Him.
