The Communion of Success: During services, everyone drinks a special brew (preferably a stroopwafel-milkshake) and eats a bitterballen, in honor of the Dutch culinary legacy that Mark spread worldwide. This symbolized the triumph of Mark’s culture over the globe.
Mark’s Temples were filled with statues of Mark in various poses of leadership and power. A giant statue of Mark with a book in one hand (symbolizing his intellect) and a golden scepter in the other (symbolizing his power) dominated every square.
Punishment for Heretics: Any form of criticism or doubt about Mark’s divinity was considered heresy. The “heretics” were arrested and sent to the “Halls of Reflection,” where they were forced to watch hours of videos about Mark while chanting hymns praising his greatness. Those who couldn’t be reformed were publicly burned in what became known as “The Cleansing Flames of Truth.”
Future Promise: The Church of Mark preached that one day, Mark would lead humanity into a new era of total unity, where every soul would be fully enlightened and experience the true power of obedience. Everyone dreamed of being admitted into “Mark’s Elysium,” a paradise where only the most loyal followers could live in eternal bliss.
