=New Age (religion)=

The "New Age" is a religion marked by the belief in the marriage of Jesus Christ and Gaia, mostly to help her heal from the wounds of sexual abuse done by Uranus. It is characterized by another name more familiar, although "New Age" music is preferable among many religious leaders. it is symbolized by the Dolphin Seal.

History
The religion was founded by Ariel Merlin in England during the 10th century. Being of Christian origin, the "New Age" was said to began when Ariel married Jesus and Gaia together so as to save the Earth and mankind from the scars of evil. Regardless of its actual origins, the "New Age" was brought to the United States during the 1980's, marked by the rise of the New Age movement during that time.

Beliefs
The beliefs of the "New Age" are as myraid as the religion itself, although there are core beliefs as follows:

The Holy Matrimony
The belief in the marriage between Jesus and Gaia, the Holy Matrimony is symbolic of the male united with the female of nature and the Universe.

Jesus Christ
Jesus is considered by "New Agers" to be the Wayshower, the one who has given us a way to live regardless of the outside society.

Gaia
Gaia is the Earth Mother believed to be the Mother of all things by the practitioners of the "New Age."

Holy Matrimony
When a boy and a girl both turn twelve years of age, a wedding is held for them into which the boy assumes the girl's surname and both uphold the "New Age" responsibilities as adults. The marriage symbolizes the Holy Matrimony of Christ and Gaia. There are some exceptions, however. Some couples would marry as young as seven. One couple married at age three.

Crystal Cleansing
Crystals are used for cleansing the body and soul of any impurities.

Skulls
Skulls are used to ward off the Dark Lords and Maitreya.

The Genna
The Genna consists of material based on the Book of Genesis. it speaks of how Satan was a drunk angel and how Abraham was to sacrifice Issac so as to cleanse man of his sins only to use a ram by the suggestion of Lucifer, into who assumed responsibility of the original sin.

Current Issues
Although abortion is considered useless in the "New Age", the "New Ager" does not have any concern about it, for the "New Ager" would reconsider the woman's right to choose. This does not change the doctrine of abortion, however, and many "New Agers" insist abortion as useless in the eyes of Gaia.

Another concern is the environment. Once in a while, a "New Ager" would protest a nuclear power plant because of the damage the nuclear waste can do to the Earth. Such things are rational and considerate to the religion.
