The Church of Ed Wood

Yesterday we met a Pope. Today we go to another church, one that is not quite as rigid as the previous one, but still take their religion quite seriously. It is one that one would feel just as comfortable with a box of hot buttered popcorn as well as a hymnal. This is one Warped site, just like it's deity.

The name of the site is The Church of the Heavenly Wood, aka The Church of Ed Wood. This is an internet church that practices Woodism. Woodism is a pop-culture-based religion created in 1996 by Reverend Steve Galindo. They follow the late cult director Edward D. Wood Jr. ("Plan 9 From Outer Space"). They look to him as the savior. The Church of Ed Wood use Ed and his films to inject spirituality into those who get little fulfillment from more mainstream religions like Christianity.

They also uphold the morals and ideals of Edward D. Wood and try to preach his message of total understanding and acceptance, regardless of what modern society may say. In doing so, the Church of Ed Wood discusses issues of sex, race, drugs, and transvestism in a frank nature. Yes, a quiet frank nature at times.

So if mainstream religion isn't for you, give the The Church of Ed a try. The Warp-o-Meter did, and gives the site an 8.5 rating.
