Many students of the spiritual realm believe that the hierarchy of spirits extends at least to planetary overseers. Anything beyond that is a matter for speculation. Some Moxians believe in a supreme God, who oversees and created the Universe, though most Moxians find this idea extravagant. Note that the concept of omniscient or omnipotent spiritual entities is paradoxical, and therefore not a part of the Moxian faith. If a God exists, Its concerns must be extremely distant from the mundane lives of material beings, and the idea of praying to It is frankly ridiculous.

Spiritual beings do not desire or have any use for worship, though prayers of thanks are always appreciated. Imps may suggest or demand worship, but this is only a game to them. Savvy Moxians understand that any thoughts of worshiping a spirit should be ignored, as this is at best a practical joke on the part of some mischievous and unimportant trickster spirit.

Another important way in which Moxy differs from most other faiths is the question of an afterlife. Many concepts of the afterlife are mere wish-fulfillment or just plain silly. Examples are reincarnation, eternal punishment, and infinite bliss in a heavenly paradise. Moxy itself does not pretend to know whether there is some kind of existence after death. Some believe that virtuous sentients may be reborn in the spirit world, and that this phenomenon may even be how spirits reproduce. This is a very satisfying concept, but most Moxians reject it, as there seems to be little evidence for it. Whether or not there is anything to reports of communication with the dead or other such phenomena is one of the most active research areas for students of the spiritual realm.

There is much more I could say about Moxy. I will attempt to produce some sort of FAQ about it at a later date for those who wish to know more. It may sound absurd to believers in more typical creeds, but as a believer myself, I find it reasonable and comforting, without expecting me to believe in ideas I cannot take seriously. As is often said, "your mileage may vary". At the least, if you doubt the truth of Moxy, rest assured that if you are wrong about it, you will be not be tortured in Hell for all eternity. If that isn't reassuring, I don't know what would be.

I've used up all my time and then some, and I will now turn the discussion over to a proponent of Terran Jihad (also known as Violetism), whose concepts of goodness and spirituality are in strong disagreement with my own. Nevertheless, I suggest you listen carefully to what Ali Usman, a retired officer in the army of Dosognov Abaira, has to say, if only to convince yourself that there are worse belief systems than Moxy, even if Moxy itself turns out to be complete nonsense.
