Welcome to the Church of Thermal Ascension
We are a recently formed church. Our believers can fly.
Our Beliefs
- The Sun supplies all energy in our Universe thanks to the magical power of Fusion. (Fusion will be with us in t + 30 years.)
- We will be lifted aloft by the power of the Sun. (And cast down by the Darkness.)
- Our lives are a contest where the Sun triumphs over Gravity. (xcontest.org keeps the Holy records.)
- True enlightenment can only be found through Altitude. (Ridge Soaring does not count.)
- The Sun is immortal. (We define immortality as lasting less than 10 billion years.)
Our Rules
- Defy gravity whenever possible. (Practice often missing the ground.)
- Use the power that the Sun bestows upon you. (In every way possible.)
- Help those less capable than yourself. (You were once less capable.)
- Avoid always the Cumulonimbus. (You are a puny human.)
- Repack your reserve often. (Don't assume your God will be in a good mood when you need him.)
- All soaring aircraft are equal. (Some are more equal than others.)
- Each day of the week is sacred. (No days are reserved for work.)
- No donations are accepted. No fees are charged by the church. (Give only to your local club.)
