The Holy Scriptures of the Prophet Meyers
It seems that some fans have decided that their worship of the sparkly vampires of the Twilight novels should be literal, not just literary. Yes, someone seems to have founded a Twilight based religion.
From the SF Examiner: 'Twilight' series spawns religion: Edward Cullen is real, members should read the books like a Bible.
Someone please demonstrate that this is a hoax.
EDIT: Apparently, the Examiner didn't check sources very well. The SFE article was based on a report at Pillow Biters, a Twilight fan forum. A quick Google search of "Cullenism" yields this link, where the Cullenites describe themselves as not a religion, but a study group which explores the values presented in the novels compared with religion. That they call their meetings "TwiChurch" probably doesn't help clarify matters.
