Goatism is believed by its adherents to be the Final Revelation of Ian (PBUH) to the Honourable Members of the Board.

Origins

As the legend goes, Goatism was revealed unto the Prophet Flocculencio late one night after he had had far too much to drink while contemplating the false revelation of the Sheep Thread. The Goat appeared to him and, in the words of Terry Pratchett, pointed out that Sheep are stupid and must be driven while Goats are intelligent and must be led.

Thus, the religion of Goatism was born.

Tenets

1. There is no Goat but Goat and Flocculencio is its Prophet!

2. Women are soft and smell good and are to be encouraged.

3. Keira Knightley and Doctor What are to be regarded as saints - the truth of their existence does not detract from the truth of Goatism but rather serves as an example of the way in which the Spirit of the Goat works in the World of Men.
