The Collected Works of the Testament of Captainatom931, Pishop of Pip

Book 1: Genepip

Chapter 1

In the beginning there was the word, and the word was Pip, for Pip was the word¹. The beginning was at the 22nd minute of the 14th hour on the 25th day of April 2019 (gmt+2)² when the Sancpip Senkii did post the first message of our faith³, which read as follows: “Secretly the answer is pip, she is the planet”⁴. It was this message most holy and divine which did inspire the Sancpip One to create the first pipture, the original icon of our faith⁵ which drew many eyes within the community⁶, even summoning the powers of the first Herepip, Sweer⁷, with the accusation most foul of the Sancpip “impersonating the devs”⁸. What must be know is that the Lord Senkii was not impersonating the devs⁹, but rather was channelling their powers¹⁰, and the powers of our Lord and Saviour Pip in particular¹¹. It was later that holy day, now known to the faithful as Pip Day¹², that the Sancpip One did create our religion through our holy server¹³, with the first two members being the Most Noble Pishops Gamma and Petshop¹⁴, and the one known to us as Duke¹⁵ proclaiming our first anthem and prayer, The Unbreakable Union of Free Pips¹⁶. It was that day that the faithful did first discover the holy word of Pip¹⁷.

Chapter 2

It was the day after the first Pip day the Holy Server did truly become its modern form¹, as the organisation of the Church was ratified² by the Noble Pishop Captainatom931³ with his scripture “A guide to the hierarchy of the most Sancpip Cult of Pip”⁴ which did set out our leaderhip⁵. It was also on this day that the first Pipe was declared⁶, with the honoured one to be Senkii the founder of our religion⁶ with his title becoming⁷ “The Most Noble Pipliness The Most Holy and Sancpip Pipe Senkii I, master of the faith, defender of the true way of the pip and the piple, smiter of the Herepips and shepherd of the faithful”⁸. And upon this day as well was the Noble Pishop Captainatom931⁹ ascended to his rank by the will of the Pipe¹⁰, followed by the Nobles Gamma and Petshop also¹¹. Upon this day did Pickaxe become the first Pipcher as well¹⁵ and WilloPip was declared to be the architect of all our churches¹⁶. Such it was that upon the second day after the first pip day¹⁷ did the nature of our church become clear¹⁸ and the faith of our church was made true¹⁹ with the writing of the first of the scriptures²⁰, the book of Genepip²¹.
