God is dead. Long live God!

Holyballism is a religious philosophy of life centred on Holy Ball, a football plastered with the pages of the Bible. Holyballism is history turning a full circle: The founder of monotheism, the first known individual in history, the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, ‘worshipped’ the sun as the one true God - he learnt from the sun the meaning of life. Holyballism is a return to that attitude through creative self-expenditure and the making and the destruction of the Holy Ball through play is actually an affirmative enactment of this historical atavism.

Holyballism has four pivotal icons: Akhenaten who conceived God as the sun, Moses who the saw sun as the Word, Christ who perceived the Word as man, and Nietzsche who brought back God - the sun as the meaning of the Word.

Holyballism works towards the bright day when all Holy Books of the world shall be made into Holy Balls exercising and exorcising people into everlasting happiness.
