Transformatsiya

Abramism is the religion created by Tanisha Reznova that combines teachings from Judaism, Christianity and Islam and incorporates elements of American history. The Founding Fathers are added as providential figures who were motivated by God to create the first experiment in free government. Followers believe that submission to the will of God can create the moral foundation necessary to exist in a stateless, post capitalist society. George Washington is viewed as a divine and prominent figure who led humanity out of darkness. American slavery is said to be a compromise made by centrists and moderates, which led to the first civil war. Lincoln was sent as an allegorical messiah who died so that slaves could be free. Religious imagery and visions of the Civil War include substitutions of the Reichstag in Berlin with the capitol in Richmond. Republicans and Democrats in the war are described as the Red Army and the White Army. 100 years after the Civil War, the freed slaves are said to have "returned to the plantation." Hitler is mentioned as the first appearance of the Anti Christ, who appears regularly throughout history. The rise of fascism is given as a myth of what inevitably happens when society abandons religion and turns to worship of the almighty state. Operation Barbarossa was told by Tanisha as a prelude to 2060s American history. During this war, followers saw visions where Tanisha rallied men to charge up Mamayev Kurgan where she was killed by a Nazi artillery shell and resurrected several days later. This part was created by followers rather then Tanisha herself.

Symbolism

The philosopher and psychologist Josef Petukhov described George Washington and Ancient Merika as "an archetypal manifestation of the God Dragon of Chaos" that "destroyed the old and established monarchist hierarchy."

Tanisha being transgender is considered synchronicity of rejecting atheism. Many followers have observed similarities in living as an atheist or a repressed trans person. Atheist conservatives consider transgenderism to be rooted in "gender essentialism." Tanisha explained that during the 21s century, many followers of Lincoln interpreted transgender metaphors as related to them while being in denial of it. She also told stories about transgender people who were followers of Lincoln who transitioned other people into becoming followers of Lincoln.

Christianity and Islam are considered manifestations of the cosmological masculine and feminine and archetypes of the mother and father.

Technocratic socialism is a manifestation of the devouring mother archetype. The atheist religion that it is coupled with is part of the extreme masculine. Only the negative aspects of the cosmological masculine and the feminine are expressed. People are obsessed with logic but ruled by repressed emotions and suffer from incurable spiritual dysphoria.

Death of God

Tanisha told of the metaphorical death of God that happens in advanced technological cultures, which eventually leads to manifestation of Satan and their collapse.

Etymology and nomenclature

Transformatsiya comes from the Latin Nemonic word transition, which is based on the experience of accepting God and the radical transformation that happens after acceptance and submission. The title of "transformers" was re-appropriated from atheists who used it to insult followers of the religion. The process of conversion is called transition.

Archetypes

Mirror and reflection

The reflection is a manifestation of anything that was repressed, generally anything similar or inverted to oneself. An example is a religious conservative who claims that transgender people are delusional while remaining ignorant to or denying the irony of such a claim. Tanisha repeatedly mentioned that many of the Merikans in the 21st century denied their own reflection. Tanisha herself was ultimately manifested in large part by the collective Merikan inability to confront their reflection.

Father

Abusive father

Mother

Devouring mother

Merikan exceptionalism

Tanisha stated that pre-historic Merika was the greatest country that ever existed in history and was established through the will of God as part of a major transition toward the abolition of the state.

Requirements

Transition or conversion into the religion starts after taking the affirmation, after which circumcision and baptism are required. Circumcision must be performed soon after taking the affirmation in order to avoid apostasy.

Prayer

All followers of Transformatsiya are required to pray at least twice per day, although more then that is allowed. The first prayer is in the morning and the second is in the afternoon or evening.

Circumcision

All biologically male Transformers are required to be circumcised.

Affirmation

All Transformers are required to take the Affirmation declaration of faith.

Ест один Бог, Таниша его посланница.

Jihad

All Transformers are expected to actively struggle against evil within themselves and also in the world. Acts of non-violent jihad are expected and strongly encouraged. Military jihad said to only be justified in situations where an aggressor attacks first. Transformers are allowed to work to secure themselves but must not make the first attack. Any jihadists who are martyred in the first attack will be extensively rewarded.

Submission versus spiritual formation duality

Of the many paradoxes of the Abramist religion, one is between the instruction to submit to the wisdom and guidance of the Abrahamic religions or allowing people to discover what is true for themselves. This is often bridged by emphasizing submission while encouraging people to discover why the Abrahamic tradition is correct.

Heaven and Hell

Transformers believe in two phases of judgement. The final judgement is made by God on the last day. After death the first judgement is made by Tanisha or any other powerful entity. Salvation and damnation can also be determined independently by one's level of individuation. One story told by Tanisha is the tragedy of a 21st century psychologist who acted as a false prophet. He never confronted his inner darkness and after death he was forced to rule over a construct of the USSR that was created by his own psyche.

Followers believe that almost all people will eventually be saved after both phases of judgement, although salvation is not universal. Anyone who refuses to accept God or individuate will never be saved and any female who receives the virginity of a man by any means will be irreversibly damned by Tanisha until the day of judgement.

Those who fail to individuate will likely end up in a personal construct of Hell prior to the day of judgement.

Heaven is believed to be a place without class.

Iconism

Tanisha instructed her followers to create artistic representations of religious figures in order to spread the mythology of their religion. They were instructed explicitly never to use any icon as an idol. In almost all situations, God is required to be depicted as a cisgender man. Statues and images are often displayed prominently on conquered atheist worlds.

Views on social dysfunction

Socially dysfunctional behavior and by extension celibacy are considered the most severe sin in Transformatsiya. Tanisha warned that celibacy inevitably leads to sexually deviant interests including non naturally born homosexuality, misogynistic fetishes and pedophilia. Such urges are considered attempts by Satan to isolate the sufferer. These urges and feelings are believed to be inevitable.

Tanisha described social dysfunction as the most severe pandemic of Ancient Merika. Satanists of all type were said to have pushed socially isolating policies and changes.

Religious tolerance

Tanisha instructed that all followers of God be accepted and that religions of non followers should be replaced. Religious tolerance is allowed in situations where it is pragmatic or avoids violence. Transformers are expected to work to replace religions that do not worship God and convert their followers. Tanisha instructed not to force the transition of followers of God, but to encourage them if they expressed interest in transitioning. All religions of God are tolerated.

Position on other religions of God

Judaism

Tanisha described the Jews as being in a special relationship with God and that it was important for them to maintain their own community. She also described them as extremely hard working and stated that the most successful pre historical civilizations had a large Jewish population while the people who persecuted them were condemned by God to suffer. It is considered the foundation of morality and the first people to receive the rules of life from God. It is also seen as older and dated compared to other religions.

Christianity and Islam are largely seen as independent sects of Judaism.

Christianity

Christianity is viewed as a manifestation of the archetypal mother. It is considered important in this role. Whether or not transformers believe that the Christian stories about Jesus are correct, they are considered to have mythological value and synchronicity with other parts of the religion. Tanisha once denounced Christianity for being meek and flabby but later renounced this belief and created a rainbow, which became the symbol of Christianity for Transformers.

Islam

Muhammad is considered an epic figure who lifted the Arabs out of degeneracy and dysphoria. It is considered an extremely positive religion for the instruction that it provides and a manifestation of the archetypal father. Tanisha considered Muslims to be soft on abortion and did not consider the views on sex to be compatible with advanced civilization, as celibacy is one of the most severe sins in Transformatsiya.

Mormonism

Mormonism is barely tolerated as a religion of God because they largely believe in the wrong beliefs about God because they believe that He was a man and is one of many gods for civilized worlds. It is only technically considered a monotheistic religion because only one god is worshiped.

Baha'i

It is generally considered positive, although the inclusion of Buddha is suspect. Tanisha denounced Buddhist worship as leading to satanic centrism. Tanisha instructed her followers to pray at least twice per day in order to one up them.

LGBT views

Transgenderism and transsexuality are considered synchronicity metaphors for the process of accepting God when living in a satanic society and overcoming the pervasive dysphoria of a meaningless world. Tanisha instructed that naturally born gay men should be accepted but not celebrated. She also gave the instruction that naturally straight men and trans lesbians who engage in homosexual or male attracted activities are possessed by satanic forces and demons and must be punished and corrected. Tanisha also described the natural autohomophobic disgust reaction in straight men and trans lesbians as essential. There is no restriction on homosexuality among cisgender women. Tanisha said that Leviticus primarily applied to naturally straight men who engaged in homosexual activities and that overall naturally homosexual people should be accepted.

Transgender people are often seen as a gift from God so that gay people will be able to have children. Heterosexual relationships between gay people are encouraged.

Transgender lesbians are considered men who are extremely straight.

Nano machines for gender and sex transitions are not given until age 18.

Position on differences between Christianity and Islam

There is usually no central position on the Islamic retcons to Christianity. There are multiple sects with different interpretations. All of them reject the idea that Jesus was God or is an equal to God. It is widely believed that the Christian story of Jesus has spiritual value regardless of whether it is believed literally or whether the Islamic interpretation of Jesus ascending to Heaven is believed.

Views on progressive revelation

Transformers only believe that progressive revelation happens when something radically changes in society that requires new religious values or knowledge. It is generally considered suspect.
