Cullenism

About a year ago, The Examiner posted an article discussing a new religion that is based around the Twilight Saga. Supposedly, this religion spreading to the more theatrical Twihards. That the Cullens are real. The fact that people actually believed this terrified me.

I had a feeling that this rumor was spread by a Something Awful Thread, but after doing more research I found that it is indeed real, in a sense.

The member of the official Cullenism group do not claim to be a religion. They wish to discuss the values shown in the series to religion. Lara, who created the group states:

'There are wide ranges of people in our world,when something is as great as Twilight and grows and reaches other places,it is going to attract many different kinds of people. This is where we can compare Twilight to religion.' 

So, no they do not believe that Edward is real, and that if they're good that he will turn them into vampires. I don't doubt there are people like this out there, but I don't think that was the intention here. 

I'm not denying that Twilight doesn't have a crazy fan base, but it makes me feel better knowing that the world is a little less crazy then I thought. Thank Edward for that! (I kid, I kid)

Till next time, read into what you hear, and be safe!
