Zanism is “act-ually” a religion formed in the early ‘90’s as an attempt to escape the tyranny of sanity without falling into the prison of insanity. We reject the sanity/insanity dichotomy and embrace “zanity” in its stead. Zanism is not a religion of beliefs. We believe in disbelief.
Zanism is influenced by some (not all) of the sayings of Buddha, Loa-Tzu, Jesus Christ, Niels Bohr, Warner Heisenberg, and Bokonon among others. To understand zanism, we examine why religion exists at all. Then, we capture that impulse--and squash it. You may think this is a joke, but we're as serious as Yorick’s skull.
After your conversion to zanism you're welcome to free yourself of it again and again unto infinity. In deference to Lao-Tzu, we like to think of Zanism as “the path that makes no sense.”

While zanism has no beliefs, it does have several tentative tenets.
1. On Belief: If you believe in zanism, you aren't a zanist.
2. On Earth: Treat the Earth as if you depend upon it.
3. On Salvation: Salvation isn't guaranteed.
4. On God: If there's a god, you're here to amuse her. And—she’s amused.
5. On Violence: We acknowledge that non-violence takes astonishing guts.
6. On Love: Just do it.
7. On Individuality: Dance dust dance!!
8. On Nonsense: Sense makes no sense and no sense makes sense.
9. On Hamlet: It’s a play on words.
10. On Hope: Refer to love.

Get the zanika mug.An adorable and funny person. Usually very short. She has a bad sense of direction but becomes very easily attached. A Zanie laughs all the time and is always doing crazy things. She is one of the best friends you can have, is not typically very book-smart, but will always aim to please. A tiny, elf-like character. Zanie sings and dances-all the time. If you meet a Zanie, don't be scared!

Get the zanie mug.Beautiful girl with short hair and a nice ass and boobs usually mixed half Latin. This girl has the funniest laugh you could imagine. When she laughs everyone wants to laugh with her. She half Latin so guess what that means she sexy in every way but don't make her irritate her or anything in that category. She been a fighter every since she came out the womb. She is very independent and strong and will kick yo ass if you say something out of line. She typically goes for people who have a sense of humor. It really sexy when she speaks Spanish but, not when she's cussing you out.
