THE IDEA FORGE

Reassessing the Etymology of Kirk / Church: A Circle-Based Proof

I submit to you, the reader, that would find examples of my etymological conclusions here and elsewhere erroneous at best to completely ignorant at worse that instead my deductions are factually sound and that the majority of what we are taught and told, and has simply been regurgitated in a demanded culture of "read, remember, don't challenge, accept and repeat" or "suffer the consequences" is a long process of not only cowardice, but also shoddy scholarship of others and academic laziness of most. For that reason I shall in this case present the idea behind my reasoning that Church itself means and reflects the concept of Circle.

Abstract:

This presentation challenges the longstanding etymology of the Germanic word kirk / kirkja / church as derived from Greek κυριακόν (kyriakón), “(house) of the Lord.” I demonstrate that its true semantic and phonological…

Q: Should we consider creating a digital currency as our religion develops in these modern times?

A: It’s a powerful question, and it immediately frames the conversation around growth, adaptation, and the responsibilities of a living faith. When a spiritual tradition is formed and expands into new eras, new tools inevitably emerge—not to replace doctrine, but to strengthen community, transparency, shared purpose, and overall common wealth.

Considerations

Many faith communities around the world are already embracing digital currencies to support donations, empower members, and modernize their infrastructure. Blockchain technology offers transparency, security, and symbolic depth that aligns naturally with a religion built on unity, reciprocity, and enduring truth.

As Druwayu grows, the question becomes not “Should we?” but “How do we do this in a way that reflects our values?”

A Preliminary Clarification for Consideration

The following is offered for consideration to those who will encounter arguments against the existence of the One and Three that extend beyond the more primitive demand for human-centered, emotionally reciprocal, or anthropomorphic relationships with the divine.

A frequent error in such arguments is the assumption that impersonal relations toward creation imply a lack of personhood, or that a finite being such as a human is capable of meaningfully relating—through subjective experience alone—to entities that are nonphysical, nonlocal, and ontologically prior to the conditions that allow human perception, cognition, and emotion to exist in the first place.

The inability to form a personal or subjective relationship with the One and Three does not entail their nonexistence, nor does it imply that they lack personhood. It merely reflects the epistemic and experiential limitations inherent to finite observers embedded within the system they attempt to understand.

Likewise, the absence…

This is both serious and based on a sense of humor, and can be applied as a form of propaganda because, well, it is. Propaganda is strategic communication designed to influence public opinion, beliefs, or actions, often by presenting biased, misleading, or emotionally charged information to promote a specific agenda, political cause, or ideology, rather than objective facts, using techniques like selective facts, loaded language, and repetition to bypass rational thought.

Fortunately this Propaganda is not meant to mislead anyone, and the selected facts are not all that selective as much as specific things people often bring up as questions or try to make claims which these things counter directly. And yes, a lot of it is loaded on purpose.

That said;

Converting to a different faith can be intimidating, but when the pros outweigh the cons, it can be totally worth it. You just have to be aware of…

1) Messaging & Image (Power = perception)

• Create a short identity line: “Druwayu — Embracing Logic, Humor & Absurdity” (uses your real tagline). Repeat it everywhere (site header, social bios, merch). This creates quick recognition.

• Use polished visuals (seal, flag, consistent iconography) so small membership looks established and trustworthy — perceived legitimacy draws newcomers. Wikimedia Commons

2) Speak in your people’s experience

These are my top 20 key story writing questions one should ask when writing about specific persons or events that may be included as part of the Druan-specific collections or tops as in other areas of our group pages. Review them for clarity.

The more original the content, the better it will be, and obviously, the more aligned and relatable with all the previous information as the essential foundations of Druwayu, it will make it all that much better.

It does not need to be purged of any humor either. Every culture should have some sense of humor especially about itself, as it helps keep things more respectful and less prone to paranoid exaggerations, fears, and excuses. Also, if you dont see a topic category, create one.
