Vectorism (AKA I-Don't-Want-to-Fail-Mathism) is the next big religion, as defined by two brilliant prophets at TAMS, in Denton, TX. Inspired by the speaker that purported that Islam is a fully peaceful religion, in combination with a review of Multivariable Calculus for the following day's test, Vectorism has spread like wildfire accross the math-related school, gaining popularity as a group on facebook.
Major tenets include worship of the Almighty Infinity (may he grant you an A in math), the pursuit of the way of the vector (which has not only distance, or longevity, but also direction, and thus purpose), respect for unit vectors, which shall always be hatted, and the powerful knowledge that 1+1=shit. There is a damning force that strikes all siners (reject trigonometry and be saved!), sending them not to hellfire but eternal torment through math problems. Fermat's last theorem and the like. Vectorists know that the meaning of life, the universe, and everything is forty-two, and that the most blessed among us are herders of flatworms. The sacred platyhelminthes were given the gift of sight.

Vectorists need not like math; in fact, they don't even have to be good at math. They just have to have a desire to pass math

Make like a virus in spreading the good word; use your vectors wisely.

the porno that always wears an orange jumpsuit with all his cum stains all over it. his anus is perfectly round and is frequently slapped. he claims the slaps keep his round rump extra smelly- just the way he likes it. if it is not smelly, his rare nose disease will fire up because of the lack of ultimate ass smell.
