Juggaloism is a religion that the
Insane Clown Posse introduced to the world in 1992 with the first Joker's Card: The Carnival of Carnage. Since then there have been many more advances on to the Juggalo community of believers, and five more Joker's Cards: The Ringmaster, The Riddlebox,
The Great Milenko,
The Amazing Jeckel Brothers and the Shangri-la (heaven) and Hell's pit version of the last Joker's Card The Wraith.
Many people see the people see the Dark Carnival as evil because of the things they see about it. But to think so is ignorance. The Carnival is a supernatural caravan of dead Juggalos and Juggalettes and spirits of the Carnival traveling the
Earth to pick up the departed, evil or holy.
The Carnival unlike the Devil or God , all they do is judge the purity of your soul, and take you to heaven or hell. Juggalos stay behind with the carnival because in at the
end of the world: The Tempest, they will fight in the battle of Armageddon. That is why it is appropriate for Juggalos to be called ninjas, because that it what they are.
The Tempest is the
end of the world. It is the same thing as The bible book: Revelations, but it is described as a great storm, and in the Juggalo faith, it is believed to be happening very soon.
ICP's music reflects everything about this religion very figuratively, and befor the Sixth Joker's Card, kind of secretly. They did this because they wanted to draw in people who were lost from God's word, and who had the spirit to go find more about the Dark Carnival. You are not a true Juggalo unless you believe in God. ICP's music is all entertainment, but if you look farther into it, they are only talking about killing wicked people. I know they aren't going out and killing sinners, because they mean this also figuratively. Killing the wicked is merely a metaphor for killing the wicked inside of people.
The Dark Carnival is very related to Christianity, but in a modern way. Juggalo's cus because they beleive that over time, the weight of a sin has changed, small sins like cussing and stuff like that, are not as important as bigotry or murder. Many don't think ICP's music is Christian, but it is. One example is on the Shangri-la cd. On many of the back tracks it said things about Jesus being our savior.
