YOLANDA

Yolanda, a cult religion created by Swedish programmers in a parodic way to bring religion to the sandbox game Minecraft. It involves believers sacrificing all valuables they find to the 'Yolanda', leader of the Yolandites. Yolandites have a hard time advancing in Minecraft, for the religion only permits that they build things for Yolanda. If one does not make consistent offerings and sacrifices, they must do penance.

ORIGIN Two Swedes were mining in Minecraft when they encountered quite a pickle. They fell into a dark hole with no light or hope. Then, out of nowhere, a light emerged! It emanated from an orange luminescent block known as the Jack 'o' Lantern. The cave was filled with diamonds and gold. Both of the Swedes celebrated the momentous occasion, and returned home with their spoils. One of the miners, regarded now as the most holy Prophet, picked up the Jack 'o' Lantern.

When they returned how to their friends at the village, hell was breaking loose. Two griefers had hacked into the server and the rest of the party was struggling to defeat them. This party included who is now the Highest Priest, Sunnjae, and the Grand Heretic, Favcar. The two miners had to make a camp outside to try to stop the griefers. The Jack 'o' Lantern came to the Prophet in the night and taught him the server commands 'ban' and 'kill'. After the griefers did not submit to being killed by the power of the Jack 'o' Lantern, they were banned from the server forever.

The Jack 'o' Lantern then revealed to the Prophet its name and the destiny of the religion.

BELIEFS AND PRACTICES Yolandites believe that their saviors name is Yolanda, incarnate in a Jack 'o' Lantern. They believe that service to Yolanda is the only way to achieve eternal happiness. Yolandites are monotheistic. They believe in the destruction of all heretics and that the castle of the Grand Heretic is where disbelief is dispersed from. They believe all MOBs are heretics besides sheep, who only are expected to give their wool to Yolanda.

There are many intricate practices of the Yolandites.
