Church of the Button

"In the beginning there was nothing. Then there was the word, and the word was BUTTON"

" Soft hymns and quiet prayers echo off of vast golden hallways. Lit up by candle light and religious euphoria, The Church is a beautiful place of worship."

History
The Church is one of the largest factions worshipping the button. Following quickly in the wake of Cult of the Button, Pope /u/Ghostise set out to share the scripture of The Button with the world. Thus, The Church was born. Since then, the Church has become deeply intertwined with the world of the button, being host to many massive events.

The Church is the first religion of the button that supports pressing the button, stating that, if the button reaches zero, an apocalyptic event known as “The Doom” would occur. The scriptures later state that only those who are faithful to the Church will be saved by the Pressiah.

Since its inception, the Church has been a large part of shaping the world of the button. One of its first movements was the Crusade. The Crusade was a call to arms of all those able to end the anti-press factions (still in their infancy then) such as Holy 0, the Followers of the Shade, and The Grey Hopeful. The Crusades also called for the end of the heresy from the Cult of the Button. The latter situation was eventually resolved when peace was made and the followers of the cult were to join the Church. Nalixor agreed to this and was kept in as the Cardinal of the Church.

Soon after the Crusade, the Church became allies with Knights of the Button and their sister factions. This alliance would prove to be one of the strongest, proven by the shear amount of strategy and technology put into delaying the Doom.

Beliefs
The views of the Church can be summarized into three core beliefs:
 * The Button is God and the timer is the life of the Buttonverse.
 * When the timer hits 0 the Great Doom will happen.
 * The Pressiah will lead the faithful pressers out of the Doom and be saved.
