== History ==
The faith of Bezism and the reverence of Bez has existed on CivClassics ever since 2019, with the creation of Imperial Truidence and the empowerment of Bez. The first use of the term 'Bezism' can be traced to when Obtainable Spatula first mentioned the term in 2019 when explaining the fact that Imperial Truidence is a solely Bezist nation, with other faiths not to be given tolerance. As of Bez's ascension from mortal form in late 2020, Bezism has been led by Pontifex Generic Laqey.▼

==== [[Imperial Truidence#The Schism of Retardation|The Schism of Retardation]] ====
==== The Schism of the Lady of the Lake ====
The second schism of Bezism occured at an unknown period of time when the Ginger Scroll was revealed to Emperor Zeldronix I after he was made emperor of the [[Holy Truidencian Empire]]. It relates to the Ginger Scroll's place in Bezist worship and was between the Orthodox Bezists, who believed that the Ginger Scroll was Bez's true word and that Bez was always a mortal elevated to godhood by the Lady of the Lake and the Immutat Bezists who anxiously awaited Bez's new teachings to be passed down, the so called "Ginger Scroll 2: The New Testament". The current emperor of [[Holy Truidencian Empire|Truidencia]], Zeldronix I, was an Orthodox Bezist, while the at the time pontifex of Bezism, [[User:GenericLaqey|GenericLaqey]], was Immutat.
====== The Rediscovery of the Ginger Scroll ======
The True Ginger Scroll was discovered by the pontifex of Bezism, [[GenericLaqey]], was searching through archives in the Holy Mountain north of Nidaros. She discovered an ancient writing from one of her ancestors detailing how Bez created the world, which followed the Old Ginger Scroll but differed in many places. It unknown how the truth of creation was lost originally. Upon reaching this revelation, the pontifex proclaimed a new Galactic Church of Bezism, unifying the Orthodox and the Immutat Bezists.
== Belief ==
Bezism is most concerned with the belief in the one god, Bez and this monotheistic principle demands that no other gods exist besides Bez. Bez is also seen as being everything, with all things in existence being some small fraction of the whole of Bez. By this definition, all is the will of Bez and the flow of history is his divine mandate.
==== Scripture ====
===== The Ginger Scroll =====
The Ginger Scroll, holds the truth to Orthodox Bezism and all it's tenants. Only the highest figures in the Bezist Church are allowed access to this scripture, and are a tense by which the Bezist populous is given information concerning their faith. The information contained within the Ginger Scroll was made more public after the Schism of the Lady of the Lake, but the exact text is still only known to few.
==== The Tenets of Bezism ====
Are as follows, exactly as told by Bez:
Faith: Bez is the master of the world, and we are his children. Every block and every civva is part of his design. Faith in his wisdom, guidance, knowledge and power is the only path.
Order: The civvas were created to bring order to an unstable world. Distruptions of this is in violation of his design.
Freedom: Each civva was created as indenpendent beings, it is an affront to Bez to reduce them to anything less.
==== Schismaticism ====
Schismaticism is a school of thought based around the Schism of Retardation, formed long after the schism had ended. It is primarily concerned the the true extent of what it could mean that Bez is everything. Questions like is Bez evil, or is Bez not all powerful are frequently asked. Primary critics say that mortals inability to understand the nature of the divine make these questions irrelevant.

Offerings and deeds done in the honor of Bez are often celebrated by the Bezist religious establishment. Offerings including milk, precious metals and other fine goods are often given to show devotion. In some instances of extreme devotion, a Bezist may commit human sacrifice, dying in the honor of Bez and being reborn in his grace.
== Architecture ==
Bezist architecture varies greatly depending on the architect and place. From the European style churches of Nidarosdomen and the Anburon cathedral, to the eastern onion domed temples of Inis Moin, and even as far back as the ancient Generico-Classical temples in the Holy Mountain north of Nidaros. A list of Bezist structures is compiled here.
* The St. Bez Cathedral in Anburon, never given a proper name, it was primarily designed and constructed by ObtainableSpatula, with the roof and posterior tower being completed by GenericLaqey on the 19th of July in 2020.
* The diagonal church in Anburon
* The church north of Anburon
* The church in Downer Astonia built by Discozoa
* The church in FE_Flags' village
* The Erdem Monastery. Located southeast of Nidaros this incomplete monastery was designed by Hylian_Cellist and is being constructed by many people.
* Nidarosdomen. The largest Bezist place of worship ever planned. It was designed by Hylian_Cellist and based on the real life cathedral Nidarosdomen in Trondheim. It was completed on the 2nd of May in 2023 and primarily built by [[GenericLaqey|GenericLaqey.]]
* The Old Temple in the Holy Mountain, this decaying temple appears to have been made hundreds of years ago. In fact it was designed by [[User:GenericLaqey|GenericLaqey]] and completed on the 6th of August in 2022.
*
* The Galacton, also in the Holy Mountain, is in a similar style to the Old Temple. Made for milk rituals, this temple was also designed by [[User:GenericLaqey|GenericLaqey]] and was completed on the 16th of December in 2022.
